Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if Progressive video has nateraly better quality than Interlaced? I have the option to leave video as internaced for playback on my SVCD player, and in comparison, I could make the source progressive at the same framerate for playback.

So, without using 3:2 Pulldown (to keep framerates and bitrates even), should I expect nateraly better looking video from interlaced or Progressive encodes?

if your viewing your footage on a normal tv, keep it interlaced you won't see the diff but you'll save some encoding time...
