I don't think people understand interlacing. The really saddest part is when news video is imported from a region with opposite interlacing and the fields are reversed when broadcast. It means the editors are either only previewing on non-interlaced or half-sized screens or they don't understand what they are seeing. I once made a similar mistake. Someone submitted a video to my film festival and it was interlaced the wrong way. I swapped the fields and didn't do a full preview. Half way through the submitted video had swapped field order and I'd not noticed. After the screening I explained the error and apologized. She hadn't even noticed. Some people just can't see. Another example - a single field glitch. me : what's that glitch? person : what glitch? me (touching the screen next to the glicth) : here person : what glitch? I just couldn't get them to see it.
