All apps report as interlaced, bottom field first.

It's quite obvious when I tested it by encoding a short clip without deinterlacing. It looked pretty bad.

I think that's why the DGPulldown technique resulting in a shimmering/vibrating/pulsating picture LOL

I agree with all of that. Just for reference, don't rely on apps to tell you something is interlaced, as they usually just report how it is encoded. It's best to look at the video. :-)

Those shots Darth Mallwalker posted look pretty bad. I don't think there's anything that can be done about that. :-( I wonder what happened. Perhaps the video was improperly deinterlaced and then reinterlaced somehow.
