More importantly the scan type is MBAFF instead of interlaced which may not be supported by some media players. Panasonic SD9, Panasonic TM700, Panasonic SD600, GoPro HD Hero.

I did see that (noted as I had read about MBAFF earlier in the day) but then over looked and fogot about it. Well highlighted. I've made bold in my post to make it clear.

Obviously I would like PD to give me the power to choose some of these production options. However if I had a simple way to remux the MPEG-TS AVC format MBAFF scan type video to BDAV AVC interlaced video, I would have a work around without compromise.

Any ideas on options for txMuxeR or other tools? I have tried Avidemux without any luck. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
i7 860 @ 2.8GHz
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 6670 1GB GDDR5 (Sapphire Ultimate)

The true is that even the last PowerDirector 16 cannot produce real true interlaced footage. In the header of the file there is "interlaced " or "top field first", but the frames are NOT interlaced. Verify this in a player which shows the raw footage.

Hard and software takes therefore sometimes wrong decisions and playback is jumpy.

I tried to create a profile for interlaced footage, but the result was always de-interlaced (even with a profile "interlaced").
