Here's a weird one:

When I transcode dnx hd 185 x progressive material (shot on HD CAM SR at 60fps) to DV 25 in a 25i project it makes an interlaced clip with 2 different fields for each frame!!!

How can that be? And more importantly, can I stop it doing that?

You can't. NTSC is an interlaced format. Downconverting to SD will always give you an interlaced result.

Actually I'm in PAL land but maybe the answer still applies..?
