Exuse my language but I'm really pissed off. I just finished encoding (took about 2 days) and uploading (about 3 days) STAR WARS v2.0 just to play it again on my TV and notice a strange flicker at the edges of the picture and find out that for some reason multiAVCHD encoded INTERLACED!!! So I'll have to start over (just encoding and uploading) so it won't be available for like another five days!!! Also if someone could advice me on how to prevent multiAVCHD 4.1 from encoding interlaced again I would really appreciate it.

Are you sure that you haven't outputted your edited video file as NTSC interlaced? A lot of editing programs won't let you output a progressive NTSC output only interlaced and MultiAVCHD will detect the source as interlaced.

When you load up your file in MultiAVCHD click on the video and select "properties" in the first window. Now have a look at what MultiAVCHD is reporting for the video in the pop up window. it should say 23.976fps 1920x1080p. If it is reporting as 1080i then it will encode it as interlaced even if you think your output should be progressive. If this is the case then just click on "alter detected properties" and change the flag to "progressive". But i must warn you that if you have indeed outputted your video as interlaced that changing the flag could cause some undesired results so you will have to create a new source video for MultiAVCHD

But encoding it as interlaced shouldn't cause a flicker at the edges of the screen so you may have a different problem. If i were you i would scrap powerdirector as its piece of crap and use a better editing program
