I've pretty much finished the color correction of Puggo's ROTJ but I'm having some trouble with the interlacing of Puggo's files.
Here's the media nfo of one of the AVIs I got from Puggo:

Encoding settings : ae mode=manual / wb mode=one push / white balance= / fcm=manual focus
The only interlacing settings I found in AE were in the Interpret Footage menu for each input file. The default settings were "Lower Field First" but as you can see in picture A) bellow (open link in new panel to see full resolution) this created horrible aliasing, so I tried checking the "Preserve Edges" box, which helped a tiny bit but as you can see in picture C, when setting "Separate Fields" to "Off" the jaggies disappeared completely - I thought then, that I had figured it out, only to find, that the "Off" setting took care of the aliasing, only to introduce typical interlacing artifacts (as seen in picture C2) which in turn disappear, when you set it to "Lower Field First" (B2).
Trying to play with the pulldown settings only introduced even worse interlacing artifacts and I'm quite sure that there is no pulldown in Puggo's files anyway, because when you play them, they do run at 29.97fps (way too fast).
Can anyone please help?
