Great idea. I respond at the high level of the thread for convenience. I
hope you will excuse me.

Well. Like you have said: to compute interlaced files (i.e. with odd and
even fields), you must compute twice as the images as needed.

Then, you must import in Adobe Premiere and find the "good" button. In fact,
the last time I have done that; I was not able to do this in one part: I've
exported with Abode and re-imported [and forgotten the manipulation!]. But
you know: Premiere is sometimes like an asshole (sorry, but it's true).

I'm making a program (ask directly by mail) to solve this problem. You just
have to give it the root name of files and it generates a AVI non-compressed
file for Premiere. To gain space on disk, it can delete BMP files after
treatment - I will post the source in C when ready and fully tested (in a
couple days).

It's only for BMP 24bits/color uncompressed (this IS the Povray output) to
an UNCOMPRESSED AVI file. When you have the file in Adobe, you can output it
with the correct codec (AVI, DIVX, MPEG,...).
