Two fields per file is a BAD idea. Where is the gain when one would only
want to rerender the odd fields 
(on one computer, and the even fields on another).

When doing fields thing, at 25fps, I believe it's normal to have to provide 
50 files per second. The content of each file may have to be adapted for 
the current animation softwares, but that's another story.
