I'm encoding my entire DVD collection of StarTrek:TNG to x264. Unfortunately the original source of these is a hybrid interlace scan type and I having tried every possible way of deinterlacing and encoding these to Progressive with pretty poor results. The only way I have found that can put out good encoding quality on these is by turning on Interlaced Mode (TFF) within the x264 settings.

My question is what are the disadvantages or even advantages of encoding to MBAFF(interlaced). The files seem to play fine on my Plasma and PC after the encoding so why is this setting not used much for interlaced sources?

Merry Xmas and New Year:D
