Hi all,

I just finished burning a LD capture and the playback on my Pioneer DVL-919 looks like crap. There are heavy interlacing artifacts on pans in the video. I almost looks like the field order is reversed, but should not be the case as the video source is progresive.

The source material is 16:9 anamorphic, 23.967 fps encoded with CCE @ CBR of 8100, authored with Maestro. I applied pulldown to the .mpv and everything looks fine on the PC, but screwy on the SA player. Also, when looking at the top and bottom boarders (needed for the 2.35:1 -> 16:9 conversion) it looks like the field pairs are offset by a large amount - after the very first line of video, it looks like the next one is black, as if the next frame has been shifted down a line or two.

Has anyone seen of anything like this before? I know I have played "progressive" DVD's in this player before without problems, but I'm at a loss to explain what is going on as the PC plays back the DVD fine, the VOB's when opened in VirtualDub look fine....

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
