If that is how your video card is dealing with frames sent to it. It was explained to me that the G400 will, when programmed into proper TV-Out mode, take a "frame" (i.e. the odd and even fields together in one frame @29.97/s as you explain above) and first display one field and then the other, each at the proper interval of 59.94 _fields_ per second. I don't know what your card does but it sounds like it's wanting a "field" per "transaction" rather than a frame of two fields (which it will then separate and display one after the other) which is what the "Bob/(Progressive Scan)" filter explanation on the below reference page shows. I guess this is just another way to skin the same cat. Whether you send two fields at once and have the card display them separately or send them indvidually is pretty much six of one, half dozen of the other I guess, video card transfer overhead not-withstanding. > Therefore, using bob is paramount for a smooth video playback.

It can, as long as the video card understands it is getting an interlaced frame and that it is to show the frame's two fields separately. > Please do read this: http://www.100fps.com/, it offers excellent > explanations! b.
