PAL Vob file interlacing field order

Someone recently mentioned that DVDA surprisingly did a good job of re-rendering 1080 to SD. I've tried this and find it does, especially if you use the reduce interlace flicker option. But my resulting PAL 576 VOB files have the interlacing field order as bottom first. This is not normal as PAL mpg/VOB files are usually top first. Only PAL AVI has bottom first. Whilst these VOB files appear to play correctly with my Blu-ray and DVD players I would prefer that they conformed to the norm and were top first.

I cannot find anywhere in DVDA7 where I can alter this behavior. Any clues anyone?

You give up those types of adjustments when you use DVDA to encode. From looking online there is no real standard that I see for Upper or Lower in PAL (same as NTSC). If your video plays fine then it doesn't matter. The only time it really matters is if you are mixing upper and lower in the same video. As long as it is standalone, it doesn't make a difference.
