Mike – I very possibly am wrong, but I *think* that a video which has been rendered to fields will have, say, the odd lines from the first frame and the even lines from the second frame as the first picture. The next picture would have the odd lines from the second frame and the even lines from the 3rd, etc. So you get each picture with 2 frames interlaced which, when later blasted onto a TV screen, in interlaced fashion, manages to look intelligible to critters with persistence of vision, like us. I *think* you do the experiment on your PC and look at the frames that are generated and see both images at the same time, laced together. If I'm wrong, experts, PLEASE clear up my confusion!
