NTSC DVD with a Soft Telecine - Oldermediaformats - 24.05.2026
I have a file I extracted from an NTSC DVD that, when inputted into Hybrid, the scan order is changed from progressive to a soft telecine. Content was originally shot on film. I played back file and it's not interlaced. Is it necessary to overwrite the input scan at all? I want it progressive so I do I need to re-encode it as such under De-(Interlace)/Telecine? Or select a different one?
I also need to get the source's 29.97 fps converted to 23.976. Should I check any of the filters in the Speed Change tab and then select my desired frame rate?
I will eventually resize file's resolution from 720x480 to 1280x720.

When using progressive (no overwrite) and you see no combing your source is progressive.

(haven't seen a DVD source that was 29.97fps created by speedup from 23.976)

Thanks, Hybrid read the container as a 1.185 aspect ratio but preferred 1.580. I want to revert to the former, so under Input from PAR, should I change 1580 X 1000 (the preselect) to 1185 X 1000?
Also, this is an MPEG-2 file (with an anamorphic transfer) so should I check Convert output to PAR, then select NTSC 16:9 (32:27) from the pulldown choices?
I've been perusing the Misc subtab (under Crop/Resize) and wondering if there are there any filters I should check? The one I'm wondering about is Keep output PAR...if that needs to have a checkmark.

If 1.580 is the correct par, then setting it under input par is correct. (side note: 1.58 seems like a strange/uncommon PAR; hope you are not mixing PAR and DAR there)

=> you have to decide that. (I only fiddle with those settings once a year tops in my work flows,..)
