No, it doesn't. DVD-A always recompresses as 29.97 fps for NTSC. For 24p, you need to render with the "DVD Architect 24p NTSC video stream" template in Vegas.

So does this mean that if you render as 24p from Vegas, when you recompress in DVD-A, the 24p video will be recompressed as 29.97 fps for NTSC, thus making the initial Vegas 24p render of no value/null?

Thank you for your response.

I don't think that's it. I think DVDA will leave it alone -- you just have to render from Vegas.

So can I shoot in frame mode on my NTSC GL2 capture into Vegas and then render as 24p?

Thanks,

You can. The question is whether you want to or not, and I don't have the answer. I asked in a different thread -- "Tryin to Understand This 24p Stuff" -- but so far, all answers have been theoretical. What I want to know is what the downside to rendering as 24p is for standard DV video like yours and mine. Do you need a TV that supports progressive scan? Will it look right on a standard NTSC TV?

BTW, what is Frame Mode on the GL2?

I'll just quote Canon:
Unlike Normal Movie Mode, where video is captured using interlaced frames, in Frame Movie Mode video is captured by the GL2 in a non-interlaced form at the rate of 30 frames per second. This delivers spectacular clarity -- perfect for those who need to grab high-quality images from videos for making prints, adding website content, or sending images over the Internet.

I wonder how the 24p would handle what is a quasi 30p?
Frame mode does have a cinema look to it.

Anyone at Sonic Foundry know the answer? I don't like to trust
my eyes only. Besides, I want to what the ramifications might be
if the end product is played on a progressive scan dvd player/tv.
