About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD sofiware cml be divided into 2 types: Iihnd)ased software mid ;'ideoq_ased software. Video-based sot'iware is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-corns, and displays images at 30 frames/6I) fields per second. Film-basedso0;,vare is derived from fihn and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
