That's fantastic, many thanks, much appreciated. Am in recovery mode at the moment, will get back to you soon

Actually, do you mean Betamax or Betacam since you're talking News camerawork? Betamax was a domestic format If I'm talking about domestic formats like DVD, CD - or course Betamax in that context. Then VHS and Video2000. Cam that I mostly used was Philips LDK 6. Those tube camera days were fun, wer...

Makes me wonder how he copes with DVD being interlaced! Very simple; I use new technology and have abandoned anything lower than FullHD simply because I hate interlace. I hated it with CRT TVs, most CRT TVs gave me head ache. Using progressive displays is the way it is going, despite some that are ...

Oh, yeah.....he's been a big help! lol

Makes me wonder how he copes with DVD being interlaced!

Thanks again

Many thanks, I'll give it a try over the weekend and get back to you when I can. It's my 50th this weekend so I may be "recovering" The only problem is as our HDTV broadcasts are 25fps interlaced, this software still won't help. Slowing down native broadcasts such as VT will introduce spee...

You don't seem to get the point; In original post you asked for resolution that is not supported anymore in any new codecs. Interlacing is a remnant of analog time and it will be removed totally in few years, now it is partly supported only because some broadcasters still insist on using it. Some s...

I don't have to, I've worked in television production for 30 years. Sure. But did you notice that technology has changed? Interlacing is not viable anymore, it does not save bandwidth with current digital packing, and it does cause artifacts in picture when shown in progressive. And ALL modern HDTV...

Hi poster woody8 is correct, sorry to say, in UK we use 1920x1080 interlaced, not progressive, I have been converting from broadcast tv via satellite feeds 1920x1080i 50 fields, odd/even (25 frames) to Blu Ray, using Nero Plat.11, this will render at 25 frames, the result when checking by P/B the B...

Aggressive?? You get trteated with incredulity here with suggestions like 1080i PAL isn't full resolution I suggest that you read more about interlacing. Then you should realize what it means. I don't have to, I've worked in television production for 30 years. On any decent monitor the two fields o...

Aggressive?? You get trteated with incredulity here with suggestions like 1080i PAL isn't full resolution Thanks, but unless it can encode at 25fps it's still not much use. PAL slowdown is fine for movies broadcast in PAL, bringing them back to thier correct speed, but native HD TV needs to be kept ...

JJ is explaining you that Blu-ray 1080p 25fps is not part of the standard. only 1080i (interlaced) 25fps is supported... so you can't convert a PAL progressive dvd to Blu-ray without changing the framerate. Regards, Okay, got it, although JJ still doesn't understand how the two fields are displayed...

First two are seemingly better due higher framerate, but they are interlaced - that means that real resolution is 1920x540, making those inferior to progressive framerates. To be honest, i'm not even sure what you're saying even holds water. I've got some BBC PAL BDs like Sherlock etc that are full...

But if I want to master PAL at it's native rate to Blu ray, this software can't do it without converting it to 23.976fps, that's the problem

cedric wrote:Hello woody8,

PAL/NTSC formats are related to DVD Video only, not Blu-ray.
Major part of Blu-ray videos are encoded at 24Fps or 23.97Fps and can be played in any Blu-ray home player...

Regards,

Thanks, but did you read my problem? Blu Ray also supports 25/50 fps, your software doesn't.

Anyone please, before the trial runs out.....

I'm trialling this product, but being in Australia which is a PAL country I cannot seem to change the frame rate to 25/50 fps. Any PAL HD stream I convert turns out converted to 23.976fps resulting in jerky playback. Strangely it is supported on the ConvertXtoDVD
