About DVD software types and
the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-
based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such
as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at
30 frames/60 fields per second. Film-based
software is derived from film and displays
images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD
software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on
your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to
match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Note
When you play video-based software in progressive
signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when
output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE,” images
from the VIDEO OUT jack are unaffected as they are
output in the interlace format.
