Hi guys,
I have been converting quite a few of my DVD collection and have had no problems with them using the excellent MA script.
However i had one problem with trying to convert one of my movies namely '28 Days'. The problem lies i think is that all my other PAL films when put through DVD2AVI showed up as
Progressive but this one movie was
Interlaced.
The reason i say it was a problem is because all of my Progressive movies came out excellent when predicting using jorel's excellent new pridictions
Here and i usually end up with a good KVCD @ 352 x 288 and usually end up with an MPEG of around 750Meg.
But with the interlaced movie the prediction went belly up as they say and i did what i always did set up ToK using jorel's method and the finished movie can out 850Meg and would only fit on a 90Min CD which i dont have.
I tried it twice and had the same problem here is my Tok txt:

The movie is about 15 seconds under 100 minutes and so i used 2 samples per minute in ToK then i tried it with 1 sample per minute and still the same result.
So (sorry for the long post) I was wondering if i should use Boulder's script for Interlaced source:
Here
Maybe this will help with better predictions with Interlaced sources?
Please help and thanks in advance.
