I need to re-encode a NTSC movie (marked as "Progressive" on DVD2AVI DG) to a PAL Progressive with CCE 2.7
Previously, I use VirtualDubMod to decode the MPEG2 video stream to an uncompressed AVI. After this, I use AviSynth to load this uncompressed AVI, convert it to 25 fps and obtain the standard 720x576 pixels (I want to make an anamorphic DVD). The reason of this step is that I need to make some fine cuts (single frames) and to add some logos. After this, I use the Vdub frameserver to feed CCE.
The encoded video looks perfect on the computer and domestic DVD, but the video stream is marked as "Interlaced" in DVD2AVI DG.
Is there any problem to make and to distribute the DVD with this interlaced video?. Is there any advanced option in CCE to obtain a progressive PAL video?

Thanks!

It's not a commercial DVD, it's a Star Trek fan film not released yet (see my signature). I'm the person in charge to transcode this video to PAL european format.
I have uploaded a 200 frames small cut here (no sound):

Only to clarify the copyright issues of this video...
The official website is at
http://www.startrekphase2.com
and the producers have the permission from Paramount Pictures for the production of these films. As you can see, some of the official actors from Star Trek (Walter Koenig, George Takei) are involved on the project. I'm the official coordinator for the spanish subtitled editions of their episodes.
The DVD's are not sold or edited physically, only are distributed free of charge over Internet.

Did you set the progressive flag in CCE before you encoded? Make sure the progessive frame box is checked in the CCE settings. Also set the Block scan order to Zigzag.

There are some commercial PAL dvds that are marked interlaced when they are progressive.
