DVD from .mts file with "combing" effect.

[HF20_user]

I created DVD disk from videos (.mts files) by using Pixela software (original what comes with HF20 camera) and result is terrible. Video have combing effect. What I am doing wrong?

post a screenshot to illustrate

how are you viewing this? PC? DVD-Player?

just a guess, but it might be resizing the interlaced fields incorrectly

effect like in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Interlaced_video_frame_(car_wheel).jpg

I view it on same PC, and sure that this is due to interlaced fields, but how to change that in Pixela Image mixer??

Turn on your deinterlacer in your PC software (e.g. VLC enable deinterlacing in the options), or your standalone DVD player will do it automatically.

If you see similar artifacts even with the deinterlacer, or thicker line artifacts, then it likely resized it incorrectly

Yes it works, thanks, that was problem with a player. That works on Windows Media Player 11, but on VLC still little of that effect. What would be the best deinterlacing mode? There are different options. - Blend, Mean, bob, linera etc.

Bob is the better one IMO, because it keeps the temporal resolution i.e. it plays at 60 pictures/s (or 50 for PAL land). The others will play at 1/2 that. But it is slightly more CPU intensive, but for standard definition MPEG2 material this is not an issue on modern PC's

You might have different personal preference, so try them all out
