I made a discovery while researching ways to make 24p DVDs without investing in Vegas Pro, and I offer it for your benefit / criticism:
If I take MPEG-2’s from Vegas 10 (DVDA 24p NTSC Widescreen) and open them in DVD Flick (free at dvdflick.net), I can render 24p VOB files that can be burned to disc in either DVD Flick or DVDA 5.0. The menu design options in DVD Flick are extremely limited, so I’ll probably end up with Vegas Pro anyway, but otherwise I seem to be getting a clean, smoothly playing product.
I’ve got a question: When I view the DVDs on my old Trinitron, obviously pulldown is being applied. But shouldn’t I see pulldown artifacts when I view the DVD frame by frame? Every frame looks clean.
