Deinterlace: TMPGEnc vs VirtualDub

[piepkoekoek]

Ok, just wondering...

In VirtualDub you have the deinterlace filter "blend".
What kind of deinterlace mode does the same thing in TMPGEnc?

And another question:
Why is this if I encode an interlaced source to an interlaced MPEG2, the
resulting movie is unwatchable on my Pioneer DV-440 at any bitrate? The player does not deinterlace the source?

If deinterlaced beforehand and encoded as progressive no problem at all, even at a combined bitrate of 2828 (2700 + 128Kbps mono sound).

Ok, maybe this was kind of stupid...

Will try the field reversal tip.

Oops, should have opened the Sticky post
