So really what I'm getting at is that 24, 25 or 29.97 frames per second can be put into an interlaced file but it will still be a "film" look rather than the smoother "video" (on TV screen) look.

To get the video look you need 50 or 59.94 different fields per second and the Canon DSLR can't do that at 1920x1080.

So returning to my original question, do people prefer the smoother video look on videos that they watch from a DVD on their TV? Rather than a film look?
