Hi!
What are the best rendersettings for a pal DVD?
720x576, thats clear, But should I render frames or fields? 25 per second or 50?

Any tips on how I get less flickering would be great.
The DVD is to be played on a plasma-Monitor.

I work with 3DS Max, Premiere and Combustion.

PAL standard: 25 fps, fields, odd first.

Be sure to check your colors being video safe, either in Premiere or Combustion.

Field flicker can be reduced by using a small vertical blur(1 - 2 pixels).

Thanks, but are mpegs on a dvd saved as fields aswell? Or is it frames there anyway?

Frames with fields( have a look at a interlaced rendered frame from 3dsmax).
The interlacing itself happens before/while the transmission from the DVD player to the screen.
