It plays in my jvc dvd player. But the player does not flag it as progressive. Neither does my friend's panasonic. So I think this is still an interlaced dvd.
Also, before the main menu they have the disclaimer about "vintage source, nostalgic value, possibly compromising on quality, blah blah blah".
So I am assuming no restoration was done.
The print itself is not bad. It is comparable to "Gulebakavali Katha".
So we can add another clueless indian dvd manufacturer to the long list.
If anyone can help me to overcome the tv out problem i can force weave it and see.
If you can, can you do the same test with Kaaka kaaka tamil DVD? Lakshmi kataksham and Kaaka kaaka are authored at the same place using same encoder. I checked for 24fps, using old method decsribed here when you move STEP by STEP using STEP button on remote. It took exactly 24 steps to move 1 second with display timer on.
I will try to check it with other 24fps dvds authored at Prasad and will definetely talk with them and confirm.

Isn't that very easy to say? How about you suggest the steps needed to make them better? I am in constant touch with people at prasad and will try to make things better for us if they have resources. I worked with them to get even little things like Jacket Picture and DVD text added so DVD collectors like us with DVD-changers will love those 'gadget' features.
