About DVD VIDEO software types and the conversion method
The DVD VIDEO software can be divided into 2 types: Film-based software Film-based software is derived from film and displays the images at 24 frames per second. Video-based software Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sitcoms and displays images at 30 frames or 60 fields per second. Some DVD VIDEO contains both types of software. In order for these images to appear in your TV naturally when the video output is in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match your DVD VIDEO software.
