Hi!
I'm have exported a clip from Premiere and the clip was imported into Premiere with a Matrox card, so when I exported it, default was upper field first, which I chose. Now to the question - when I set the settings in my dvd authoring program (Adobe Encore 2.0), should I choose upper field first when setting the encoding settings? Lower field first is default. Using lower first I haven't seen any big artefacts, but I rather want to know why I do things.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I am not at that work station right now, so I can't say about the model nr. Anyway, these Matrox Premiere projects defaulted to upper field first.
Am I right when I say that upper or lower field first actually only matters within the same program? (not to change field order inside a program) -

Source Format - a characteriztic of the source file or input stream. Each source can be a different format in the source bins. These can be previewed without conversion in the source window.
Project Format - the common format at the timeline where all sources merge into a common format for editing and filtering.
Export Format - This could be MPeg2 for DVD, DV format for recording, WMV for streaming, etc.
As an example, a Matrox card and project format could be uncompressed top field first.
Export could be MPeg2 with either top or bottom field first as set in the encoder settings. Encore should use the same field order setting in that case.
