Sorry about not replying earlier - I have been busy with other things.
Also my apologies, and you are both right. I was getting mixed up between my MPEG-2 disk and my H.264 disk. The MPEG-2 disk was 32 Mbps. The H.264 disk was '23239Kbps data rate'
Also Jeff, on the timeline, Set Clip Attributes, Set TV Format, its set to the top of 3 options, namely Interlaced and the field order is top field first, which I guess is correct.
Maybe using H.264 and the same setting that the cameras recorded at, its actually OK, and I was being too critical.
