In the process of editing various home movies for eventual output to DVD, I've also created some content from scratch. The home movies themselves are regular, interlaced DV.
However, the stuff I've created from scratch (mostly more trivial or fun things, like opening credits that parody a favourite TV show, etc.), I decided to do in 24p.
My question is basically regarding the way in which Vegas and DVD Architect encode the MPEG2 streams for a DVD. I've read about hard telecining vs. soft, and I'm just curious which process is used by this software for 24p content. Obviously, I'd prefer the soft method, since the video is stored on the DVD in the original framerate with flags to tell a player to double certain ones... which also lets progressive scan players display in 480p. When I render this stuff, I choose the DVD Architect 24p widescreen stream profile, however I suppose even this could create a 29.97fps version of the original for a hard telecine encode on the DVD.
