Is there a program that can detect field order in the source video?

I see that TMPG will detect field order

as per my previous post, I nat to capture from TV, but maybe the DV codec
messes it up as its a DV codec (Bottom Firld First) on a Analogue source
(Top Firld First)

I wnt to capture an avi that can be encoded with TMPGEnc. My gf cannot
capture well to mpg2 directly. Is there an avi codec that is not
uncompressed, but has soem compression like DV that wil produce a base avi?

TMPGEnc will scan the source video and detect it's field order if it's
interlaced - but only if you use TMPGEnc's Project Wizard.

You may be referring to a codec such as the freeware Huffyuv codec.
Lossless video compression codec suitable for capturing video to (in AVI
format) - ready for editing/processing and finally re-encoding to a (lossy)
compression format such as MPEG2.
It compresses video at low compression ratios - 2:1 or a bit better maybe.

Huffyuv codec can be found here
http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/huffyuv/huffyuv.html i think - the site
seems to be down at the moment.
A seach on Google will get you loads of alternative download links - the
latest version is V2.2.0 so make sure you get the latest version.

With TMPGEnc, there is a way to verify the field order of your
captured file. Use the Deinterlace setting (on the Advanced tab), and
set the Method to "Even-Odd field (field)". Play the movie by holding
down the right arrow key, and carefully watch to see whether the
motion is smooth. If it looks jerky, then you probably have the field
order set wrong. Click on Cancel; change the field order setting, and
try it again to see if it looks better. Remember to turn the
Deinterlace tool off when you're done (don't leave its checkbox
checked) if you don't actually want to deinterlace.
