Re: Fields

Sascha, it seems to me you're going about this a bit the wrong way. There's no need for interlace in this case, and in fact any real time conversion will get it wrong.

What you should be doing is a reverse pulldown on the original material, to get a 23.976 fps progressive stream, and then playing back that stream at 25.00 fps, and separately pitching/stretching the sound to get it to match. That way, you'll work with progressive frames throughout, and you'll achieve the maximum possible quality. Just make sure you convert the sound with a high-quality tool. Protools can do this, but there are also several smaller/cheaper utilities that do it.
