I captured several things from my SA 8300HD through firewire to my Mac/PC. Most of it is in real 1080i. I have a Nvidia 7600 GS based card with HDMI output. When I play back the videos using any player and/or codec sending them to the TV set through HDMI, the field order is reversed so I see the calssic stutter whenever there's motion. This happens both when playing them back from Mac OS X and from Windows XP. Has anybody else ran into this? I noticed that if I use VLC to play the video and I select BOB deinterlacing the motion is excellent, but of course that will make the HD that was shot as interlaced video (such as Saturday Night Live) progressive, and I don't want that.

Any suggestions?

Also, are the resulting m2t files from the capture compatible with the HD-DVD standard? I would like to make some HD-DVDs (in regular DVDs) to save some things from TV and be able to play them years from now in standalone HD players. Can this files be used to make an HD-DVD without re-encoding?

Thanks

Huh? Well if you're so sure that field order is wrong, then you can demux .ts into Video/Audio ES, and run it through http://neuron2.net/dgpulldown/dgpulldown.html
Select "Modify in place", check/uncheck "top field first" depending on your preference, leave other options at no change, and try to send the resulting file back to TV.

But somehow I doubt "field order" is the problem here.

Regarding hd-dvd, there was a thread on here a while back, I think you had to use ULead Video studio or something, which allowed creating hd-dvds compliant disks out of standard single/dual layer dvd-r.
