    Is anyone out there doing 16x9 progressive (23.976fps) encoding for Dvd writing? If so, maybe we can swap war stories and tips. Thanks

    Not any time soon

    Progressive scan cannot be done by "burning' as is the way that dvd writers work today.

    Progressive scan can only be achieved by a nice $200,000 dvd pressing machine that is only available to DVD manufacturers and hong kong pirates.

    Huh? You can encode progressive video with any of the major encoders. Just choose "non-interlaced" in TMPGEnc, for example. It's not even related to burning.

    Maybe I used the wrong term, but I meant to ask if anyone does 16x9 or 2.85:1 frame size encodes 23.976 frames per second for DVD writing. I'm looking to compare notes and ideas with anyone interested. Here's the scenario: I'm converting some old movies in the letterbox format to DVD for archival/learning purposes and I'm looking to get the highest bitrate possible. I figure the top and bottom black bands add at least a little to the encode sizes, and a little is just too much. Any assistance to this end is greatly appreciated. I have done a number of tests, and everything appears normal/workable, just wondering if anyone else is doing the same and with what parameters. I mostly just use tmpgenc cuz I know it... Thanks

    16:9 is allowed for DVD. Unfortunately, 2.35:1 is not, so for those you will still have to encode some letterboxing into the video stream itself - this is done even on commercial DVDs.

    If anyone is interested, I have a TMPGENC template for encoding 16x9 23.98fps/29.97fps, DVD mpg2 using mvbr. With the Template I can get pretty good results with an average bitrate of around 3000. It isn't "top-notch" but until they make a dual-layer burner, its the best I can get to fit 3 hours on a single sided DVD.

    Convert it to PAL - 25 frames/second and use besweet to get the audio right.

    Convert to MPEG2 with TMPGenc
