DVD ripping, encoding, interlacing???

[czTempe]

Now, I know I've asked a similar question before, but I'll explain everything this time:

I ripped a trailer from a DVD (NTSC), and went to copy it to a DVD-R, and here is what I did:

1) Opened SmartRipper and ripped the trailer from the DVD.

2) Used DVD2AVI's default settings to create an audio track and a d2v file.

3) Used TMPGenc Plus and reencoded the video. I used the DVD NTSC template, and left the encode mode in Interlace.

However, when I went to view it on my DVD, you could easily notice the interlacing, and well, it made it look like crap. What can I do? I was told by some to keep the interlacing, but the interlacing almost gave it a headache inducing look.

Is there a way to fix this?

Two possibilities spring to mind here (though neither may be right )

1) The original trailer was not interlaced. If it was originally shot on film, this is quite possibly the case.

2) You selected the wrong field order in TmpGenc. Try re-encoding with the field order reversed.
