Striped picture (interlace?)

[Mad Man]

Hi,

I have done a few AVI to DVD using the guide including CCE and IFOedit. It took some time but it worked out fine.

I have now a movie where the picture become striped around moving things on the screen. (Both on PC and TV) I have searched around here and I guess that is called interlace. Hope I´m right.

I have tested the solutions with unticking a few things in the Video menu in CCE, but it will not become any better.

When I watched the original AVI the picture is also striped, so I wonder if there is a way so fix it.

Have tested the "deinterlace" filter in Vitural Dub on a small part of the move and that looked promising. But when I tried the complete move Vitrual Dub wanted to make the move 60 GB big! I don't have that much discspace free.

Surely there must be another way to solve it?

Deinterlace in VirtualDub and then choose the frameserve option that you can find in the first drop down menu. When you frameserve, save with a *.VDR.AVI extension. This will leave a very small file on your hard drive which you should be able to open directly with CCE.

If the source is interlaced, encode it it interlaced. If you have done that and still see horizontal striping around moving objects it is one of 2 things. The first is that you have the field order setting in the encoder incorrect. Simply reverse it. The 2nd is that you are previewing interlaced video on a PC which has a non interlaced display. Use a proper Software DVD player like PowerDVD to preview interlaced video. It will de-interlace on the fly for the display.

Do not de-interlace unless you have no other options, it will significantly reduce quality.

I don't use CCE so can't help you with what settings to change and where for field order.

Thanks alot!

I tought I have tested every combination, but apperently I hadn't.

But still, I´m not satisfied with the results. The interlace problem is gone, but the quality isn't what I expected. But it is hard to know if the problem is the original movie, since I can't watch AVI in my set top box. And watching on the PC dosen't give me a clue either...
