No.
The video format does not matters (i.e. wide screen or TV). What matters is whether the DVD is NTSC or PAL.
If the DVD is NTSC, it is encoded at 30 fps interlaced, so movie content uses 3:2 pulldown and you *MUST* use inverse-telecine to recover the original progressive movie frames (i.e. 24 fps progressive source).

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I'm going through your guide now. It looks like DGIndex does a good job of displaying the video format (Film or Video, frame rate, etc) when playing the VOBs. But how do you know if a DVD contains interlaced vs progressive content? Related to the inverse-telecine issue, what are progressive-scan DVD players?
