Just a few basic questions - am I correct in believing that the final video files on all standard DVDs are VOB files, and that they are always authored from MPEG-2 files ? In other words, files such as H.264 and AVC files would have to be converted to MPEG-2 before going to VOB on a DVD ? Also, is MPEG-2 by definition an interlaced format or can it be encoded as full frames ?
