Exporting .avc from Premiere Pro?

[koberulz]

If Advanced Frame Server works the same way as DebugMode Frame Server, it exports sequence or project properties (whatever it is named in Premiere), not clip properties. So those two should match.

It's all set as interlaced.

Third, if everything is really interlaced , there should be --tff flag in x264 command line or marked properly in MeGui settings..

There isn't.

Just found a setting that will put it there, though. No idea how I missed it the first time. Quick encode on a 30-second clip, and MediaInfo no longer says it's progressive. Doesn't say it's interlaced either, though. I'll compile and see how it goes.

Be careful that you're actually using BD compliant settings.

Also did you really mean "flagging" or encoding interlaced ? flagging would imply progressive content that you're just trying to put on BD because native progressive isn't supported for your chosen format characteristic e.g. 1920x1080p25 would be an example. Encoding "interlaced" (actually MBAFF for x264) would imply your content is interlaced - such as 50 fields per second interlaced (1920x1080i25 or 1920x1080i50 - they actually mean the same thing, just different naming conventions)

Missed this while typing, and MediaInfo does now say MBAFF under Scan Type so I'm assuming that's good.

I'm assuming that at some point, the video got flagged as progressive, and treated as progressive from then-on. The source is interlaced, as it should be, so it's just a matter of getting that recognised at the relevant steps. Obviously via the MeGUI setting I missed earlier. So we should be sorted. DoStudio seems happy to compile it, so it should be okay compliancy-wise, although I don't know how much it checks for that. I did set Blu-ray as the target playback device in MeGUI.
