So are you saying that:
NTSC: always LFF
PAL: always UFF except DV? -
thanks!

I use a Matrox video card so I export with that. The truth is, I never noteced a difference with UFF and LFF and every time I choose something else and the picture always looks the same. Is there an explaination for this?

So is converting HD to DV as simple as choosing DV at export? And not like the complications there are say like converting NTSC to PAL?
-
One more thing about this…
I tried to simply export the NTSC footage while choosing PAL in my export options and the output has great quality and shows that the exported clip is PAL 25fps… so I don’t understand why you can’t just do it this way? In premiere pro, just to export it as PAL… it seems to work… What am I missing here?

Thanks! All that helped a lot.

redgum and Mike, you both answered different things.
redgum says that with SD you use LFF both with PAL and NTSC. Mike says no, PAL will use LFF everywhere except DV. -
Thanks! I’m not concerned about price… which is better?

O.k. Thank you but I have another question on this subject.
Ususally, I export using the Adobe Encoder. When using this, I can choose LFF or UFF and now I understand what you said about that.. but.. What about deinterlacing my video? I for sure need to do this. The footage was shot with HD. When using the Adobe Encoder, there is no place to check “deinterlace video footage” like there is when you do “export\movie”. Furthermore, when DOING “export\movie”, when you choose “deinterlace”, the LFF\UFF become greyed out so you don’t even choose that at all.
Can you explain this to me?
Thank you

Just to be clear, when I said “I have tried both”, I meant that I have exported both with “lower field first” and “upper field first”. If the only difference between lower and upper fields is odd and even numbers of lines… why would it make a difference in quality when exporting one or the other first?
