why would you want to deinterlace a interlaced video for viewing on a TV when all that is going to do is make the picture look bad ...

[txpharoah]

Deinterlacing won't improve an interlaced source. You are mistaken.

What would be a practical use for deinterlacing?

[burned_once]

I think the main purpose of deinterlacing, from the point of view of these forums' users, is to improve the viewing experience on the PC.

The original post said nothing about wanting to export deinterlaced video back to a TV-compatible format. Sure, if you're taking your video material from interlaced to PC and back to interlaced, you want to avoid any taint of deinterlacing.

There seem to be more and more people who are either watching movies on their PC or getting acceptable results using video cards' TV-OUT ports. I'm not one of them (yet). All my PC's have TV-OUT. When I hook them up to TVs, the result is so awful that I can easily imagine the demand for helper apps that do zooming, squeezing, deinterlacing, etc.

video cards' TV-OUT ports are still interlaced output

@ burned_once..

TV-OUT..

I've ben their and done it many times. Using my ATI-RAGE fury pro card's
tv out, I've struggled for the best quality.

Here is what I've come up with thus far..

If you're gonne do any TV-OUT encodings, you better do it at high resolutions.

example, lets say you have home-footage that you shoot at 16:9, and you
wanna encode it for TV-OUT. You would resize your .AVI source to
800x600 (yes) and finally, enocde to something like divX. I've done this,
and gotten GREAT results because I didn't have to resize during play in the
software player. ie, Zoomplayer. Though, vdub had the best quality output
bar none, but it's not a player like Zoomplayer is.

when you enocde your source w/ sometihng like 512x384 (as I've had) the
final play quality is poorer. something to do w/ the color sampling when
resizing. I've found that 800x600 was the best you could do for divX encoding
and TV-OUT projects. No distortion, and PERFECT duplicating playing. You
can't go wrong - - well, except for your encoding settings and what-nots.

Later guys.

..oh, one more thing.. forgot to mention.

If you really want TV-OUT encodings and also want to byte the de-Interlace
in the butt, AND am looking for a new DV CAM w/in price range of under
$800, then take a look at the Sony DCR-TVR22

Though NOT documented, there is a Progressive mode that this cam has,
and I've:
* Analog captured, and
* DV'ed to .AVI

..and NOT a single trace of Interlace can be found - yeah!

It's not the best mode, but it does work. I'm still testing this mode out,
but it does look promising. I've yet to see it discovered thus far.
So, again, this is NOT a pure Progressive cam, but rather through a technique
w/ the shutter/frame trick, your end result will be Progressive, bar none!!

So, conider the above, if you happen to be looking for a new DV cam.

Later guys.
