FirstLight image has jaggies

When I load a HDLink converted AVCHD file in Firstlight Neo HD v5.0.264 the image has severe jaggies old or new CF files alike. No problem with prior version.

Not bug -- other than interlaced, the bug that plagues much on the video world. Select half res decode and that goes way.

David,

I moved back to NeoHD v 5.0.4 and the same AVCHD CF files that played with jaggies in Firstlight v5.0.5 (decode set to automatic) played with no jaggies with FirstLight v 5.0.4 (decode set to automatic). With FirstLight 5.0.5 I had to set the decode to half resolution. as you suggested, to get rid of the interlace problems. Something has changed with Firstlight playback requiring I switch to half resolution between version 5.0.4 and v5.0.5

The window is likely slightly bigger on 5.0.5 so automatic is defaulting to full rather than half on your screen size -- it uses the size on the video window to set the decode resolution. Move back to 5.0.5. Set half, reduce you window size or shoot progressive.
