Seeking various types of interlace sources

On this page: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... etb2a.html
There are 2 particular cases that are of interest to me:

3) Progressive footage encoded as 'interlaced'.
4) Interlaced footage encoded as progressive!!

Does anyone have any actual examples of either of these cases? It mentions that Wings of Honneamise falls into the latter category, but there is no mention of any specific source that falls into the former category.

Basically, I have never personally seen either of these 2 cases, and if there are only maybe 1 or 2 dvds in existence that fall into them, then I think they don't really have a place in the guide, confusing noobies.

So I'm just wondering if anyone has every run up on these cases before? If so, what source was it?

ALSO... does anyone know of any sources that are fully interlaced? I'd love to see one of those too.

IIRC, the French-Canadian versions of The Mysterious Cities of Gold and Versailles no Bara fall under that category.

Plus, they are a right mess since, as far as I can see, they were converted from NTSC (Japan) to Pal (France) to NTSC (North America) in some *very* messed up way.

Basically, they look like crap!

The original Noir was encoded with interlacing. It's clearly visible in a lot of scenes.

Some DVDs that I own are progressive (at least, look), but DGIndex says that they're interlaced. Talking about italian PAL, here. One of those is Akira... can't tell you of other atm.

I remember there being something really weird interlacing-wise about the R1 Gatekeepers, but I haven't touched it since ripping just a small clip for a trivia contest several months back, so I forget exactly what the deal was. I can check it sometime in the next couple evenings if you want me to, though, since I do still own the DVDs.

Yea, that would be cool.

OK, going back to it it turned out I'm just insane and its interlacing is actually perfectly normal, it just has some absolutely disgusting dot crawl.

Yes, I have thread with pictures and video clips of situation 3 here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=87182

I'm working with Elfen Lied... It seems to be situation 3, "Progressive footage encoded as 'interlaced.'" This means that DGIndex is telling you that it's interlaced, but even scrolling through it frame-by-frame you see none. This is confusing because I don't know if I should use a de-interlacing script anyway even if it seems to only affect the opening and closing which are the only parts showing up as interlaced.

Maybe this "situation 3" is why I am having the quality issues mentioned in that thread... I kind of doubt that though.
