I have been reading this forum for some time now and have decided to post my first thread.

When using CCE with DVD2SVCD and the source file is Field based (DCT type = field) and the field order is top field first then I believe (from reading other posts) you should not set Field A (top field first in DVD2SCVD) as this will cause the CCE encoder to alter the way it encodes the output file by reversing the field order (or something which is undesirable).

CCE always set the TFF flag (top field first), regardles of the source material, in the resulting MPEG file and if your+ source file is TFF then you do not want the CCE enoder to mess with the stream.

What does DVD2SCVD do with the field setting if you select "Auto" does it set the Top Field First option in the CCE encoder thus introducing undesirable effects ?

What setting is appropriate if the source is progressive and not field based ?

Does it matter if your are doing NTSC or PAL ?

I am seeking clarity as varying posts to these forums suggest different settings to those that would appear to make sense..

not sure ..but before the 'auto' was added. The last 50 or so NTSC DVD rips I choose bottom field B and had zero problems. The reason I did that was some concerts, music dvds required bottom field B otherwise it'd be jerky. Now I just leave it on auto and it seems to work just fine.

From latest DVD2SVCD Readme fileHISTORY:
XX jun 2002 version 1.0.X build X (under slow development)
- Bug fix: Link2 support would fail if VCDXBuilder wasn't selected.
- Enhancement: Added support for MPEG5.1 Audio using philips encoder. You must use I-Author as the CD-Image create program otherwise your SVCD will only have ordinary stereo sound.
- Bugfix: Fixed the CCE Field Dominance bug according to this post on the forum: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=133755#post133755
- Bugfix: The Select Fieldorder is now being saved in then dvd2svcd ini files.
