Re: Progressive and interlaced

"DVDs can be encoded with either a progressive or interlaced signal. "

Then which is true?

1. If we decode the disc into interlaced signal, we are throwing away half of the information on the disc.

2. When we decode the disc into progressive scan signal, we are creating additional information (not originally on the disc) by the player's processor's interpolation calculation.

Does it depend on the disc? Then is it written on the disc cover which is the case?
