In Reply to: progressive in DVD (disc) itself? posted by dave789 on November 26, 2003 at 05:33:40:
DVDs can be encoded with either a progressive or interlaced signal. The difference between the two is that interlaced splits each frame into two fields. These fields represent either all of the odd lines or all of the even lines horizontally. This is what gives the flicker on TV. Progressive scan provides a more film-like image in that every frame is presented in full; however, you will need a progressive scan monitor or TV to be able to take advatange of this.For info on 2-3 pulldown, check out http://www.zerocut.com/tech/pulldown.html. Basically it's a means of converting 24fps to 30fps and is not related to line doubling. Line doubling is more a means of converting lower quality signals to fill out higher quality displays.
