Thanks Scott. The guys at Canopus (makers of Procoder) told me that even if
I hadn't used fields in POV, that I should render my uncompressed AVI (from
a Targa sequence) using upper if I wanted the smoothest motion on a TV.
Of course when I send this work out, I never know what the viewer will have
on the other end, which is yet another pain.
But the bottom line is, if I do render with fields, will that produce even
better TV viewing than not using fields? I can't honestly say that there is
currently a problem (no fields in POV to no fields in Premiere to no fields
on the DVD), but would there be a clear advantage to using fields if the
ultimately outcome were to be a TV screen?
thanks,
d.
