Problem with field order

[reesje]

Hi there,

I found a problem with DVDREasy. The problem is that it isn't possible to choose the field order of the encoded stream (whether top or bottom field is first). This means that if the source originally is top field first, then when played on a progressive DVD player, you will see strange lines in the picture. Of course I can select video source, but then the result will have a lower resolution.

I realise that this problem is only present on progressive players and PC's, but anyway, it would be nice if this option of the CCE encoder is also present in the DVDREasy CCE settings window.

BR,
René

HI,

You are right. There is a problem with DVDREasy about the field order.

DVDREasy was supposed to guess the correct settings based on BitRate Viewer.
The code should be :

(green is bitrate viewer info, red is cce settings):

IF Picture Structure = "Frame" THEN
.....IF DCT Type = "Frame" then
..........Upper Field = "No"
..........Progressive = "Yes"
.....ELSE ' (DCT Type = "Field")
..........Progressive = "No"
..........IF Field TopFirst = "Yes" then
...............Upper Field = "No"
..........ELSE
...............Upper Field = "Yes"
..........END IF
.....END IF
END IF

This shoul be fixed in next release.

Thanks !
