Can someone explain?

"The usual way to do this is to capture the video at it's native frame size and data rate, edit it in Premiere Pro, deinterlace it, then export to WM9. Or deinterlace while you export. I prefer the former."

This is something I grabbed from the Adobe Premiere Forum - I'm trying to make sense of the deinterlace part. I have never de-interlaced anything I've burned to dvd or converted to wmv. Am I missing something?

My typical procedure is to capture the footage off of my DV cam >> edit in Premiere >> export to movie >> either burn to DVD with NeroVisionExpress or encode to WMV. Am I supposed to deinterlace? Always?

Thanks!!!

from your other post, i think you want to save it as a wmv which is auto-deinterlaced for the internet

if for tv, you want to leave it interlaced as it was shot

Okay, so when I encode to wmv, Windows Media Encoder automatically deinterlaces the file?

The general rule of thumb is that if it's intended for the net, deinterlace; if it's intended for DVD (which is played on tv) leave it interlaced as filmed?

Thanks!!!

exactly...
but i think wmv auto-deinterlaces so there's no need to do this prior...at least with my editor...may wanna double check with premier just to be sure

Yes. Don't deinterlace if your final product is MPEG. For the net or AVI end product, deinterlace.
