Stuttering transcode with CCE, Babylon 5 dvd's...

[Bel]

Has anyone succesfully transcoded these with CCE yet? Every one of my conversions ends up stuttering on some motion scenes. I don't know what's causing it. I've tried nearly every option possible, but nothing looks good. Here's what bitrate viewer says about it, can anyone help with this one?

Num. of picture read: 31
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML VBR
Resolution: 720*480
Aspect ratio: 16:9 Generic
Framerate: 29.97
Nom. bitrate: 8456000 Bit/Sec
VBV buffer size: 112
Constrained param. flag: No
Chroma format: 4:2:0
DCT precision: 10
Pic. structure: Frame
Field topfirst: Yes
DCT type: Field
Quantscale: Nonlinear
Scan type: Alternate
Frame type: Interlaced
Notes:

Eh, I figured it out... It was a field order problem. The question is why was the field order wrong when bitrate viewer says field topfirst:yes. In CCE, I needed to uncheck upper field first to get a good encode

Never check upper field 1st, despite what Bitrate Viewer says. There is a bug in CCE SP 2.5 which affects the encode if it is checked.

I don't know where I read this (it pretty well agress with the earlier post), but CCE 2.5SP reverses the "logical" order of field position. One of the handy dandy features of 2.5 Course it may have something to do with my permanent evaluation copy
