MeGui Analyze Question/Problem

[DigitalDivide]

I'm encoding the DVD Vertigo. When I open it up in DGIndex it tells me it's Film 99%, Progressive. However when I use the analyse button in MeGui I get partiall interlaced. Now normally if it's 99% Film I would force film and in MeGui do nothing. However MeGui suggests the following as the avs script
# Set DAR in encoder to 37 : 20. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 37
global MeGUI_dary = 20
DGDecode_mpeg2source("F:\projects\Vertigo\Vertigo.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
edeintted = AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
tdeintted = TDeint(edeint=edeintted,order=1)
tfm(order=1,clip2=tdeintted).tdecimate(hybrid=1)
crop( 0, 66, 0, -62)

My question is shouldn't MeGui find it as Film and then suggest doing nothing?

I like to launch DGIndex separately to view the movie and create my d2v project.

You open your vobs (it let's you select as many as you like), set your begin and end point if you wish, and preview the movie using the Field Operation methods (Honor Flags, Ignore Flags, Force Film). Choose the field operation that doesn't show interlacing.
I wouldn't say it's more reliable, but you definitely get more control this way.

From what I understand, DGIndex detected your movie as 99% film, but you left the Field Operation at Honor Pulldown? If that is the case, you left all the extra frames in to keep the movie at 29.97 fps. MeGUI still had to remove those extra frames when you went to encode it. If you tell DGIndex to Force Film, it will remove the extra frames, and bring your movie down to 23.976 fps with all progressive frames...
