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
displaysimagesat30frames 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.
Note
There would be no image on your TV or the
image is not clear if your setting does not match
your TV or connection.
