NTSC interlaced project

[3coola]

Hi,

I have a DVD that is NTSC interlaced (home made movie)
but when making a backup, no mather what settings I use in CC4U,
I can't seem to get it rigth.

info from original movie:

Num. of picture read: 31
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML VBR
Resolution: 720*480
Aspect ratio: 4:3 Generic
Framerate: 29.97
Nom. bitrate: 7000000 Bit/Sec
VBV buffer size: 112
Constrained param. flag: No
Chroma format: 4:2:0
DCT precision: 8
Pic. structure: Frame
Field topfirst: No
DCT type: Field
Quantscale: Linear
Scan type: ZigZag
Frame type: Interlaced
Notes:

Info after CC4U on movie:

Num. of picture read: 7324
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML VBR
Resolution: 720*480
Aspect ratio: 4:3 Generic
Framerate: 29.97
Nom. bitrate: 9352000 Bit/Sec
VBV buffer size: 112
Constrained param. flag: No
Chroma format: 4:2:0
DCT precision: 10
Pic. structure: Frame
Field topfirst: Yes
DCT type: Field
Quantscale: Nonlinear
Scan type: ZigZag
Frame type: Interlaced
Notes:

It is the Top Field first that I suppose give somewhat shaky result.
It's the same no mather wich settings I use in CC4U. I always get Yes on Top Field after encoding the movie.
My CC4U version is: 1.0.1.2, and DIF4U : v.1.1.1, and CCE is 2.50

Regards,
Ola

And you have the NTSC autodetect button selected when demuxing in DoItFast4U?

You may want to uncheck the Top Field First option in DC4U. If its interlaced this could be the problem. The wrong field order on an interlaced source will look choppy when viewed on a TV.

the way i do ntsc interlaced is: the .avs script is same as doing a progressive, in the CCE settings i have both upper field first and progressive frames "UNCHECKED" and it looks fine to me

i use my hollywood+ card to test before i burn to dvd-r
