Currently I'm working on a Superman II Donner fan edit. After backing up my PAL copy of S2 TRDC on my hard drive I converted the VOB files to an "interlaced mpeg2 movie file" using TMPGEnc. I selected "top field first", even though the source type is "progressive", (which I always understood to not require a field order placing).
I'm lost already. Hey everyone, just a little video help question for anyone who can assist.

The MPEG-2 on the DVD will be progressive, so why convert to interlaced? (And I'm pretty sure that progressive video should always be encoded top field first.)
