Hi,
Is there any benefit to render lower field first instead of progressive? I'd like to render progressive so I can eventually burn my files to DVD.
If I play a progressive file on a non-progressive device, like VHS or even regular TV, is the quality degraded compared to LFF, or is it the same in that case?
LFF is clearly lower quality if displayed on a progressive device.
I guess here's my thinking: Some of my source files are LFF, but my titles, effects etc. would benefit from progressive rendering. I'd like to get as much qulaity as I can.
Finally, since I'm trying to understand, in LFF, you have 29.97fps, is each frame 720x480, or just 1 field (so 360x480 pixels of data). -- Does progressive result in double the visible pixels per frame, resulting in twice the quality?
I haven't been able to get a straight answer on this.
Thanks,
Jon
