Badly Interlaced Footage - Any easy fixes?

[98lwatso]

Hello there,

I have some really badly interlaced footage, where the "combing" effect is a blatant annoyance. I was wondering if anyone knows of the best way to correct this, maybe De-interlacing it so it does not appear? I want it to finally go onto DVD so once it has been de-interlaced, it may have to be converted again but interlaced correctly.

Here is a sample

I can reduce the combing effect by altering the fields that it encodes, but the effect still occurs when played back on TV

I am using MainConcepts MPEG Converter and its a PAL project.

Thanks for any suggestions

Your hosts keeps cutting off the download early. Cannot help.

If reversing has no effect, the problem was on the source or added with bad capture (have seen this on both Panasonic DVD recorders and with capture cards).

Either deinterlace and/or run a saw-tooth removal filter (custom made).
