Authoring VOB : Problem with interlacing

[themaster1]

I've authored a dvd, various mpeg2 shorts clips all are fine, when played separately but there is one that seem to display bottom field first and it should be top field, thus unwatchable. I'm all ears.
I've checked with dgindex and restream

I would try with a different DVD-authoring tool. Or try authoring with MuxMan as a test.

There's no reason different titles can't have different field orders. Just encode and flag them properly.

If you must convert the field of of one (or more) clips you can do so by cropping one scanline off the top, and adding one at the bottom. This may blur the colors a tiny bit. Another way is to separate the fields, discard the first one, then reweave the fields. The disadvantage here is a one field temporal advance.
