View Full Version : DVD authoring from 24p 16:9 source?

Hey,

So I recently purchased a Canon XL2 and shot some stuff in 16:9 and 24 fps using 2:3:3:2 pulldown. I imported it into Final Cut Pro 4 as 16:9 anamorphic and used the advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal setting. Now my final cut pro project is totally anamorphic, edited on a native 24 fps timeline.

So the question is, how do I export this video to be used in a DVD Studio Pro 3 project? Do I just export it as mpeg2 as I would an NTSC 30fps video? Or do I do something different for the 24p or 16:9? I want to retain these qualities, but if I make a progressive anamorphic 24p dvd, will it play ok on non-progressive TVs? Does DVD Studio Pro need to know these characteristics?

Thanks
