When I click on the timeline and look at my video properties, this is what I see under the "General" tab...
General
And under the "Media" tab I see this...
Format: MPEG-2
And the standard Project Properties "HDV 1080-50i (1440x1080, 25.000 fps)" Vegas template has these settings...
Field Order: Upper Field First
My question... when I encode my video to whatever format, do I trust that my source video is indeed "progressive" or is it interlaced. What should my resulting video be; interlaced or progressive? And if it is supposed to be interlaced, shouldn't PAL always be "lower field first"?
Up to this point, I've always encoded progressive video for web use and the results have looked great. But now I need to encode for DVD release in both PAL and NTSC. What should I do?! I am so confused. HELP!
