Filming for DVD distribution?

The Search does not allow you to search on DVD - string is too short:

You can get round that with:

In google.com search bar type:


E.g.
https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=site:indietalk.com+dvd

I found these threads on writing to DVD, bitrates etc - some will be helpful, some may not:

Thank you very much, I did search DVD but like you say its too short, every day is a learning day though and I now realise I can search the forum through google. I will read the links now,thanks.

Don't shoot interlaced HD: downscaling can look terribly ugly. (Especially when field order gets inverted as well)

Some say: shoot 720p50, so it can easily be downconverted to SD 50i (or 720p60 for 60i or whatever the precise numbers are for NTSC)
However, that means it won't be ever available as full HD.

I shoot all my stuff 1080p HD and when I put it on DVD (PAL 50i) I see no problems arise from exporting progressive footage as interlaced.

What software do you edit in?
