I've been using MPEG Streamclip to convert some DVD concert footage to MP4's in iPhone format. The videos will convert and play, but I've been experiencing some nasty artifacting around titles and a sort of banding effect where the scan lines were in the source video. JES Deinterlacer does a much nicer job with the deinterlacing, but it takes much longer and requires a considerable amount of disk space. First I have to demux the VOB to MPEG2 and AIFF with MPEG Streamclip, then run the video through JES which takes quite a bit of time. Is there any way I can clean up Streamclip's output and get this done in one step?

So are you checking off deinterlacing in MPEGStreamclip? If so, you might want to try iSquint. It's no longer supported, but it still works well for making iPod compatible movies. I have also had some issues when doing h.264 encoding from a VOB. Handbrake generally does a good job with this as well, though.

Definitely enable the "Deinterlace" checkbox. That usually resolves things quite nicely for me when I encounter interlaced source material.

Yes, I've checked off the deinterlace box. The subsequent banding is a bit hard to describe, but it's not the normal interlacing effect. The banding occurs regardless of motion and is particularly visible around high-contrast boundaries. Changing bit-rate, codec, etc. doesn't seem to get rid of the banding. I've used iSquint before, but I'm not sure how well it'll work with my source video. JES does the job, but it would be nice if I could solve this Streamclip issue.

"Deinterlace" check boxes usually use the worst method -- drop field. That always leads to artifacts.
