Hi

I have a project that i need to edit it is a lot of events that need to be edit and export to a DVD until now all the materials came from one camera that is DVC-200 in dv format as interlaced so i work with 25i project
now i also get materials that come from HVX-200 as in mini-dv tape or on P2 card as DVCpro50 and as i know it is all in progressive (and all are in PAL)

so how can i mix them all in one project and still export the end product to a DVD and so that it will look ok as i know from a test i did if i work in 25p in avid and all the materials are interlaced  when i export it to a dvd it look bad.

so for that i need your help how to solve this problem.

AFAIK, you can't mix frame rates in the same project. I would stick with your interlaced project, and use a progressive plugin for the material that's interlaced - something like 3-Prong's Speedramp gives great results and is pretty cheap. Or you could use Avid's own Fluidfilm plugin, but be prepared for long renders.

Yes, fluid film or BCC deinterlace that comes bundled with MC.
