Trying to convert World Cup game to DVD, have a ? about frame rate

[Roge]

I'm trying to convert a 720p recording of the world cup final I made with my TV tuner card and I'm wondering if there is a way to maintain the 59.940 framerate. Every conversion tool I've used changes it to 29.970 and the resulting video doesn't look smooth. Is it even possible? thanks in advance.

DVD-video doesn't support 60p

The only way to keep the temporal information (smoothness) is to convert it to 720x480i60 (i.e. you have to convert it to interlaced DVD)

You can do this conversion in avisynth , I'm not sure if any of the easy-to-use-1-click-converters do this properly, or allow you enough control

e.g.

DirectShowSource("video.m2ts")
AssumeFPS(60000,1001) #just in case frame rate is off a bit
LanczosResize(720,480)
AssumeTFF()
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4, 0, 3)
Weave()

Thanks , I searched everywhere for an answer and this info was very helpfull.

BTW, I assumed you meant "regular DVD" , because if you had a blu-ray player , you could playback 720p60 on DVD media (make an AVCHD disc with multiavchd or avchdcoder)

A standard dvd video has very specific standards.

No just regular dvd

If I can just add: if you are just going to DVD there is no need to convert 720p or even 1080p for that matter if you use an authoring software that accepts these formats and the codecs and containers they use. For example DVD Flick will take both of these HD resolutions and make a SD MPEG-2 file in a VOB container (plus the IFO and BUP files) ready for burning.

He says original framerate is 59.94. I think it must be read as interlaced, right? So if you resize frame with both interlaced fields before separate them... I think it may degrade them? Should it be first bobbed and then resized?
Correct me if I'm wrong...

sorry. I just read it is progressive... stupid me..
