OK, last time I tryed to make MPEG2 files with CCE, I was not able to make them Interlaced.
I think there was a option to not de-interlace, but that did not make it a real interlaced MPEG2 file, just a progassive one with both fields (like when you capture to AVI at 704x576 rez).

Did I do something wrong or....?

BTW, the souce file is a AVI at 704x576 (pal) using PICvideo MJPEG codec.
