I just noticed you mentioned it took 2 days to encode the video? What specs are your machine because this does seem a very long time if you are using turbo. A 2 hour movie would usually only take me between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours to encode depending on what setting i'm using

This is about what it takes me to encode a two-hour 1080p movie on 1-pass Turbo, Adywan. It definitely takes me a minimum of thirty-six hours - sometimes more. You do have a very good computer compared to some of us mere mortals. :-D

Harmy, I am sorry I did not get round to responding to your PM. I agree with Adywan that multiAVCHD will not output an interlaced file, unless we are talking about standard definition resolutions, which is not the case here. (For example, according to the author, multiAVCHD will output 480i when fed a 480p file, as 480p is not technically part the AVCHD specification - although many players accept it.) I am also puzzled by the flickering. It sounds very strange to me.
