I know u needed an answer before tuesday. but just incase u were wondering:
Yes, it is a field problem..
but no, it cannot be fixed with squeeze, encore, premiere, Canopus or Cleaner.
All QT Ref files exported from Avid have no field dominance at all. that’s why ur picture is screwed. You have the option with normal QT exports, but not with reference files. Reference files are great for encoding to mpeg1, wmv’s, basically anything not designed for tv.
Try exporting as an AVI, or another file with field options then encoding from there.. Or onlining the project in a Symphony suite.
hope this helps.
