What is frame rate with 1920x1080/60p?

… If the answer is 30 frames/sec, why is it called 60p? …

just meant as an addendum:

there is 30p and there is 60p (29.97/59.94fps)

your source has 60 fields, so 30 frames.

consider to set your Project to 30p .....

60p will double the frames - your source doesn't offer.

a deinterlacing of 60i creates 30p, not 60p .....

the 'p' stands for Progressive. Nothing less nothing more. Progressive differs from interlacing...

so 60p would mean something like --- 60 or 59.94 Frames Per Second with Progressive Image Structure.

OP, you can read about that on wikipedia ;-)

Are you sure that the latest version of iDVD can accept progressive 1920x1080 QuickTime movie files at 59.94 frames/sec? As you may know, iDVD is no longer supported by Apple, and their Technical Support is unable to answer my question.

I'll defer to the others on whether you should switch to 1080p60 or not.

But as to your iDVD question, yes. I've tested it and iDVD will accept the format.

Good luck.

1. 60p is 59.94fps.

2. One.

3. Progressive.

4. Yes.

Yes, it will. The DVD will of course be SD, and it won't be 59.94, but 29.97.
