well thats just incorrect. Unless you mean the first DVD's from way back in 96/97 that were actually encoded as interlaced MPEG-2 Streams.
All DVD's are encoded at the NTSC standard frame size 720x480 [progressive]. And technically you are still getting a 'progressive' picture even via 480i composite cables, only spread across a 60i signal.
Only difference is you are not seeing the full image at the same time.. but your eyes and brain take care of that. Persistent image comes to mind.
