After reading many post and burning probalby 75 1 min SVCD's (over the past couple of months), I still don't get the quality I want. My question is simple. Do I need to deinterlace during the encode? I capture from VHS at 352 x 480 (using huffy), and encode using TMPGEnc. I am making an XSVCD at the same resolution 352 x 480. The settings are using the standard svcd template except for the size (352 x 480). I say that I am unhappy with the quality because after about 45 seconds into the movie, it becomes jerky. Not the entire sceen, just people in motion. Other than the jerkiness, I am satisfied with the quality. If I deinterlace, I lose half the fields and it looks like a standard VCD.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
