Goal is to prepare movie for TV (i.e. PAL standard).
First I used 720x576 with 25 fpp, so one second of animation was:

start_frame=0  end_frame=25
start_clock=0  end_clock=1

in pov file
#declare Clock = clock; // Clock must be in seconds


Then when I realized that field render is needed i used same .ini file, I 
just added filed_render=yes
  start_frame=0  end_frame=25
  start_clock=0  end_clock=1
  filed_render=yes
and in .pov no hange 

and You are saing that in fact I need
  start_frame=0  end_frame=50
  start_clock=0  end_clock=1
  filed_render=yes
and in .pov   #declare Clock = clock;

?

In other words when creating field render material I must double tha 
frame rate ?
