Jerky interlaced video

[gilhoy]

I was under that keeping interlace video through capture and encode would provide the best results when played back on TV.

Recent captures have produced jerky playback, which was solved by deinterlacing in virtualdub.

The question is, if it looks fine when broadcast, why does my interlaced video playback jerky?

Change the field order setting in your encoder to the opposite of whatever it is now.

There is a great Interlaced vs. de-Interlaced page at http://www.lordsmurf.com/

I was under the impression (?)that keeping interlace video through capture and encode would provide the best results when played back on TV.

Don't know where you got that impression, but it ain't true, unless the video is a true 29.97fps source.

And, as baseband points out, you have a field order issue which is causing your jerky video results.

Is this best done in VirtualDub before serving, or TMPGEnc during encode?
