The Interlace format displays 30 frames 60 fields per second by displaying every other line of the image causing scanning lines to appear across the image Furthermore since only half of the image is shown at once the amount of information contained in an image is limited The Progressive format displays 60 entire frames per seconds The player accomplishes this by converting each field into a frame by using either a field based conversion method or a frame based conversion method The appropriate method is automatically selected by the player according to the movement of the images on the screen If the movement on the screen is slow the frame based conversion method borrows adjacent field information to fill in the missing information If the movement on the screen is rapid the field based conversion method creates the missing information by predicting the movement of the images on the screen from field to field The end result is an image that is higher in quality when compared to the Interlace format Interlace pictures Converted progressive pictures Film based software conversion Film shows an image by displaying an entire image at 24 frames per second When you watch a film on television the television displays every other line of the frame as a field thus reducing information level and the clarity of the film image Re aa oz as Lose e See lt
