I have a video project I'm working on that incorporates video from a DVD camcorder. Some of was imported through the media importer and I plan to reverse the field dominance. The rest was imported by using my regular camcorder as a pass-through playing from a standard DVD player. (There were some issues using the media importer... it didn't work for these discs). So the video ultimately got imported as an AVI. Do these clips need to be reversed as well. Before I go and reverse them all (individually since I forgot to do it before I edited), does anyone know if they'll still need to be reversed or has importing as AVI reversed them already.

Do I even make sense anymore?

Your pass-through video will not need to have the field order reversed.

That's something only true of native MPEGs -- and then not all MPEGs.

Welcome back Steve !

I have never had to reverse the fields using the Media Downloader to capture a DVD so don't think you have to do it always. You will know by the jerkyness of the video even after rendering.
