• Conversion Modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based sofiware.
Video based sofiware is derived from the TV, such as dramas and sil-coms, and displays images
at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is derived from film and displays images
at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
tn order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE
mode
(60 frames per second), 1he progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of
DVD sofiware that you are watching.

Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an image

format shows the entire image at once as a
single frame. This means that while the
interlace format can show 30 frames/6/) fields

show 60 frames in one second. The overall
picture quality increases and still images,
