Field vs. Frame
Larry:
Field rendering gives you 60 updates per second for your animation instead
of the 30 that frame rendering gives you.
Remember this – video is _interlaced_! What is interlacing? Interlacing is
showing every other line on the screen, then coming back and filling in the
ones in between that it missed the first time, then starting again.
If you had a different image on each set of lines, you get 60 images per
second. That's what field rendering is, it's _using_ the interlacing in
video to help you, instead of hurt you!
Does that help?
