I need some deinterlace advice on conversion to MPEG-1. My source video files are uncompressed D-1 at 720x486 and I use Premiere 5.1c as my editor. I like to use the Cinemacraft encoder because of it's speed and convenience as a Premiere plugin. Unfortunately, the deinterlace provided by Premiere is not working. The only thing that is somewhat acceptable within Premiere is the clip based "flicker removal" filter, but the results are too soft.
I have tried frameserving to TMPGenc with AVIsynth. TMPGenc has a wonderful selection of deinterlace options, but the program is too slow for encoding and the AVIsynth often crashes.
Any suggestions on a versatile deinterlace solution for MPEG-1 that will integrate into Premiere and CCE plugin?
