  1. Please help me figure this out.
    I know the meaning of interlacing, progressive, frame-rate, field-order etc.
    What I still haven’t quite figured out is this:

    If I capture some material from PAL mini-Dv, de-interlace it (still maintaining 25 fps) to give it more of a film look (+ color correction, overlays etc) and then either:

    • Record it straight back to the camcorder via Premiere or
    • Encode it to MPEG 2 and burn it on a DVD

    and then view it on a PAL TV, what will happen with my de-interlaced effect (since a PAL TV is interlaced)?
    Will I end up just losing quality and also the film-look I have on my computer monitor?

    Thankful for any help in sorting this bit out for me!

    Anything going to the TV regardless of the source
    will get interlaced. so efforts to de-interlace would seem to be
    a waste of time.

    ....Except that image processing a whole de-interlaced frame that
    originated as Film will work better , obviously
    You want to work on the original whole frame. This includes MPEG2 encoding
