NeatVideo and Matrox graphic cards

Hi there,
Using premiere Pro 2.0 (PAL) and Matrox RT.X100
I have read some threads of the issuses with NeatVideo like, no support for interlaced video, crashing when used together with other effects like colour correction and the need to re register the plugin.
1. To get around the problem of interlaced video one should change the project sttings to "No fields".This is not possible when working on a PAL or NTSC project in SD with Matrox. It's grayed out so there is no posibility to change it. I tried to render a sequence to DV AVI progressive but when imported in the project again I still only get 720x288 resolution when tryingto apply he filter. I don't have the posebility to change my field options to "Deinterlaced".
2. In the case with "when used together with other effects". I used Matrox real time effect "Colour Correction" and Premiere crashes and another consequence of this is that I need to re-register the filter. It doesn't matter if I put the effect on before or after NeatVideo.
I then tried to render out a file with MatroxColour Correction applieid to it, import it and applied Neat video. This time it works but I get strange banding like there are not enough colours in the video, or there is something wrong with the grey-scale. I guess this has something to do with the lack of support for interlaced video!?
I will soon upgrade to an RT.X2 card and I really like NeatVideo (been using NeatImage for quite a while now) and what you can achieve with the filter. So I'd like to think I spent my money well and that there is/will be a solution for this.
