Blocky-ness ??

[Popsicle_Pete]

Can somebody please explain to me what interlace options do in TMpgenc?
I noticed that when i convert a huffy avi to vcd, the image gets little blocky in fullscreen. would the interlace options do anything about that? Actually what i need is a goo tutorial on tmpgenc

Non-Interlace: It encodes your movie so that it does not have interlaced pictures... A interlace picture is a picture that has 2 picture per frame and if you remember back when I was talking about Frames Per Second I said it doubled itself, well frame A is half of the picture starting with the top line and the skipping the next then shows the one after that. The B half of the frame puts in what frame A missed, so when the frame rate is doubled you get the full picture and also your 60Hz of NTSC or 50Hz for PAL. Ok now this encoding method doesn't do this it puts frame A and B together to make frame A then doubles it to get a exact copy for frame B. Using this makes a source progressive.
Interlace: Ok this one does what I said above It encodes a 29.976 non interlaced movie to shows half the frame in frame A and half in frame B. This is for converting to 29.976FPS from a 23.976FPS movie with the help of 3:2 pulldown under the advanced tab.

lol..But in the interlace settings, theres other options like odd field, and even field. What do THEY do? And also would fooling around with that get rid of the blocks in my mpeg?
