I'm about to transfer my personal video from miniDV tapes to DVD.
I'm pondering whether or not to deinterlace the video.
When I search this forum & web I mostly find recommendations
to leave the video interlaced so that it looks good on a tv screen.
But I'd like the DVDs to be a bit future proof. Ten years
from now, a lot of CRT TVs will have been replaced with progressive
displays. It would be great if I don't have to start all over again then and
deinterlace everything. (I have 30 tapes of 60min now, and counting)
So I have a couple of questions:
1. Doesn't interlaced video look awful on a progressive display?
(I don't have a living room model at hand, but on my PC it doesn't look good)
2. If so, is there a deinterlace method in TMPGEnc where the output
looks good on both interlaced and progressive displays?
3. As I understand it, the "even field" and "odd field" methods reduce the vertical
resolution by 50%. Is that correct?
4. The "double" and "double (adaptation) methods seem to replace the "comb" zone with a blurred zone. Is this really an improvement in real world (living room) viewing conditions?
5. Is the quality improvement for progressive displays big enough for a deinterlace step to be worth the trouble?
TIA!
Kind regards,
Bert

A progressive TV will have technology built-in to either perform an IVTC or to deinterlace the video so that it appears normal. -

Note: I'm not talking about film telecine. That can be IVTC'd with today's technology. -

I was only thinking of a more randomly accessible medium, like DVD-ROM. -
I edit out the crap on my camcorder tapes (lossless) and on average save about two thirds of the original takes. Then, I also keep an edit master in DV format on tape plus the DVD master for copies.
When the Blu-Ray 25GB/side DVD writers get reasonable in price, I'll dub the data to DVD @ ~115 min per side or ~460 min per 4 layer DVD.
