Dealing with interlaced DVDs

[dqtus]

I'm currently using the doom9 guide to rip DVDs into AVI. I basically make a d2v file with DVD2AVI and then rip the subs with vobsub and sound with besweet. I make the avs file using gordian knot and I put everything together with virtual dub. The problem I have is that some DVDs are interlaced and when I put them together I have lines during movement. I tried using the deinterlace filters in gordian knot which worked but instead of lines I have blurry movements and it sort of messes with my eyes when I watch the video. Anyone have any techniques with dealing with interlaced movies? Thanks!

If you plan to watch the video only on a computer, deinterlace. If you plan to watch it on TV, don't deinterlace. Some PC players, such as PowerDVD can show it on your computer screen the way it would look on your TV. You could make everything a lot easier by using DVDshrink. Note: Most all DVD's are interlaced.

OIC, I just previewed it on Windows Media and not my software DVD player. So basically you're saying that I don't have to do anything with it and if I decide to encode the AVI to say and Mpeg-2 and burn as a SVCD, there should not be any interlace on my TV.

Yes, sort of. Your TV needs interlace, computer monitors don't.

Ok I encoded the AVI into an mpeg-2 using tmpgenc and burned it onto an SVCD. When I played it the video turned out kinda weird. Like it would jump frames. Well you probably wont really notice but if you look hard enough it doesnt look smooth. I don't know why it does this. My original DVD was interlaced so does it do this because I didn't choose to deinterlace it or something? ALso is doom9's dvd guide to convert from dvd to xvid using gordian knot and virtual dub mod the best? or is there something more stable out there?
