Blu-ray with Progressive 25fps

Alan Craven Aug 23, 2012 4:15 AM

I have started to use my Canon Legria HF S30 to shoot progressive, which is PsF at 25 fps as I am in PAL land. I am also using a Sony V1E to shoot 25 fps progressive which is recorded on tape as 50i (I am recapturing this as 1920x1080 Matrox HD I-frame).

Apart from the problem that Premiere thinks these are both actually AVCIntra interlaced, when I have finished my editing, I have a 25 fps timeline.

1080p25 is not Blu-ray legal, so I appear to have two options:

encode as 1080p24, or

encode as 1080i25.

Has anyone experience of this, and can offer advice on which alternative is likely to give the best results.

Try them both. See which one you prefer.

Good thinking! I have, with one project only, and I am fence sitting!

My TV is a mere 26", and is not full HD, so I was rather hoping that someone making Blu-rays on a larger scale, with superior viewing facilities could comment.
