Playing DVD / DivX / XVID from PC on TV via VIDEO OUT

[albatros]

Dear All,

Please can you explain what is when I playback the compressed film on PC via the S-VIDEO output and:

1. The video file is interlaced.
2. The video file is deinterlaced.

I have 100Hz TV set and the quality is bad in both cases.

People say the best is to keep the interlaced video. If you want to show it on desktop monitor you can always use a ffdshow.

I read that keeping interlaced material will give a better quality watching on TV. In some cases on my TV set the deinterlaced material looks sharper. But in both cases it is rather poor.

Should I launch a special player thet will show the interlaced material in interlaced way.

Anyway is the signal form TV out interlaced and in what frequency. My application shows 800 x 600 res, 60Hz frequency.

By the way DVD from this PC looks good with the same video out on this TV set.

I assume I have found the reason.

Video out from PC is not just like the video out from the standalone player.

Video out from PC is telecined in some way.

If the file is interlaced the computer's player is deinterlacing it and then graphic hardware sends out a video interlacing (telecining) it but the quality is lost?

PLEASE CORRECT IF I AM WRONG.

Maybe it should appear in different discussion's forum.
