U.S.A. NTSC DVDs

[JakeAy]

G'day everyone, Doom9 is still a great forum!

I have PAL footage that I have converted to progressive NTSC (720 x 480, 29.97fps) using After Effects and Twixtor. If anyone out there wants to know how this is done just get in touch. (The reason I exported to progressive was that it was going to take about 1/3 the time of exporting to interlaced and I have a time critical project - and even then it took 17 hours!!).

Where do I go from here to create a DVD which will play in U.S. DVD players? Specifically, are there any particular settings I need to be aware of - I have CinemaCraft and Adobe Encore.

Regards,

JK

convertxtoDVD or Nero 8 - both suitable

Thanks musicman. Will both of those programs intelligently deal with progressive video, as opposed to interlaced? I read the instruction manual for ConvertXtoDVD and there is no info on how it does this.

progressive vs interlaced should not be an issue with any authoring application.

Brilliant. Thanks guys for your help.


Doom9 rocks!!!
