Removing video artefact of SMX-C10 camcorder

[studur]

Hi,

I recently bought a digital camcorder SMX-C10 by Samsung and whenever I move the camcorder horizontaly too fast, i get a shearing/tearing artefact . Is there any tool/filter to handle these please ?

Thank you very much

I am not seeing any tearing or shearing, but I do see standard interlacing. If the camera records in SD resolution and you are going to convert to DVD, leave it be.

If you are going to display the video on a computer, get a player that deinterlaces on the fly.

Play with VLC Player and from Video menu Deinterlace set to Bob or Yadif. After, the picture will look like this one:

Thank you for your help. Actually, I solved my problem yesterday. It was caused by 2 factors :

1- Incorrect pixel aspect ratio in MP4 header. PAR should have been 16:9 and it was 1:1
2- Video is interlaced (I thought AVC was progressive by default being a codec for HD video)

These 2 factors caused vertical lines at the border of subjects to be distorted in a wave-like fashion when camera was panning horizontally ( at least on my standard def CRT TV) It would have been easy to pinpoint the problem's origin if the video would have been 16:9 since I know what interlaced video looks like but with the pixel distortion, it looked really wavy to the point where I thought it was a CCD problem.

Anyway, I hope that this will help future unhappy Samsung customers.
