Blu-Ray specs do not support 1080p30 encoding/playback at all:

Of course, HD DVD supports this resolution/framerate.

The new Nine Inch Nails concert disc which is being released on both HD DVD and Blu-Ray was shot at 1080p30. The HD DVD will be encoded at the original 1080p30 while the Blu-Ray disc will be encoded at 1080i60.

This has been confirmed by industry professionals:

If you are an NIN fan like me, best bet is to pick up the HD DVD of this concert instead of the Blu-Ray

Not that I am planning on purchasing this particular disc, but I am curious about this issue in general. Is it somewhat of a moot point for 1080p30 on BD if your HDTV properly de-interlaces 1080i60 to 1080p30? That was sort of my understanding but I admit my grasp of the topic is still kinda wobbly. I'm a bit of a HD noob so any insights would be welcome. Cheers.

What wacko shot this thing in 1080p30, and where did he get the equipment to do it?

Of course, there's no 3-2 pulldown or other issue for p-i and i-p conversion at the same framerate (30fps is 30fps, whether packaged as one field or two), but the 30p option really ought to be included for ease of encoding.

Christopher...

Are you calling Trent a wacko??!! I wouldn't say that around NIN fans or else you'll be finding trouble...
