24p 60i DVD encoding
by Sean Meredith on May 8, 2008 at 3:27:27 pm

I'm talking with the company who my distributor hired to author the DVD of our film. The film is mastered as a 1080p23.976 AJA 10bit RGB 444 project. The DVD company is asking for an anamorphic DigiBeta for encoding. It concerned me, because I wanted it to be a 24p DVD so that people with all these new TVs and HDMI DVD players can see a beautiful progressive scan DVD and have less frames per second allowing for better compression. I asked the company about 24p and their response was that NTSC DVDs are 60i. They acted like no one ever brings this up with them. They do work for the studios who also supply DigiBetas, they said. Do good hardware encoders remove pulldowns if I supplied a DigiBeta? They said I could supply HDCAM, but acted like it didn't matter. Am I mistaken about native 24p DVD encoding? Or are they just unaware of the technical aspects of encoding? The guys I spoke with weren't the tech guys.. execs or something. I'm supposed to talk to one of the tech today and want to have my facts straight.

I'm worried. Your film gets encoded once. I want it done right.

Can anyone clarify any of this for me? thanks!!!
