Encoding DVD compliant MPEG-2 with Vegas Video 3

[Thwiipp]

Hello, i recently finish editing this video i was working on in Vegas Video 3. I set it up to render as an MPEG-2 compliant DVD and set it to encode overnight. next day when it was done and i looked at it the picture had these lines (interlaced looking i guess) distorting the picture as more heavy movement happened. My question is , are there any particular setting to change it to that will result in a nice conversion? i had use the default DVD settings and would like to know what to change it to. Any help would be Greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I'm not familiar that with Vegas Video 3 but I have just started using the MainConcept Mpeg encoder standalone. You didn't say what your source was but if it was DV and your field order was wrong that could explain the problem. If it was from a DVD then you need to inverse telecine your source.

Actually the sousrce was from DV, ok mybe it was the field order then. I was under the assumption that the program was supposed to automatically detect and assign the proper field order. Ok so how do i fix this, i have to change the output field order correct? what it the proper field order to convert to DVD compliant MPEG-2?
