I just finished reauthoring Bruce Almighty using DVD Decryptor, BatchCCEWS 0.9.1.2, CCE 2.67.00.23 and Scenarist 2.7. I had a field order problem (I think) that I finally solved. The reason I say this is because everything looked fine until I burned a disc and played it on a standalone DVD player, then I got the ghost like look of a field order problem. I thought someone might be able to explain to me what I actually did and why it worked.
First off, bitrate viewer returned incorrect results. The movie is progressive (I think). DVD2AVI showed progressive FILM, but bitrate returned interlaced because of the small Universal logo at the start.
The AVS script was boilerplate. The only option I checked in BatchCCEWS was progressive. (I didn't check Top Field First because I read may forum posts that said it needed to be unchecked for CCE to work correcty. Is this no longer true?)
The first DVD I burned flickered.
Then I ran pulldown -nopulldown -tff odd and it still flickered.
Then I ran pulldown -nopulldown -tff even and it was finally correct.
What did I do? and why did it work?
