  Are you matching your source’s field order?

  Should be field set to NONE if it’s progressive footage.

  original fottage is progressive so no field, but the MPEG should be interlace, top field, right?

  I don’t know your encoder specifically but MPEG2 encodes can indeed be progressive- as are generally any Hollywood DVD originated on film or 24p digital.
