Has field order been fixed in new Craft release?

I am doing interlaced encoding jobs and am wondering if the field order has been fixed in the latest release of Craft. I realize I could deinterlace but I have read in many places that you loose quality from doing so. I'm not concerned about playback on a PC, the video will be strictly be played back on a NTSC television. Can anyone help with a method that works every time for getting the correct field order using Craft. Here are my procedures: SmartRipp DVD2AVI VAPI VirtualDUb resize Craft TIA!

Can't you just run pulldown on the encoded stream?

Nope...pulldown is for Progressive video!
