>Quality may still be better than if you encoded to xvid by discarding one of the fields. However, quality of the encoded xvid itself would be a lot better by doing that.
AssumeFieldbased worked
Quality is much better IMHO than discarding a field with regards to motion. I simply increase the bitrate to compensate for the extra frames (currently pleased with about 2500).
I have noticed though when I reencode to DV output to camcorder and play on TV, there is a slight "shimmering" effect. Is this a result of the bobbing not being correctly undone? or perhaps i need ComplementParity as well?
I will do more testing. Thanks!
