Noise around the edges.

[MaiOns]

What is meant by "noise around the edges"?

[jagabo]

Depends. What context?

[lordsmurf]

Overscan, maybe? See this: Errors on the edges of converted VHS tapes?

I guess this question is related to this thread:

You'll have to provide a sample. But it sounds like you're talking about interlace comb artifacts.

[MaiOns]

Thanks so much for the reply.
ok.

If you look at the sample...
Around the faces, hands, shirt...
They are like... rough.
This normally happens when there's movement.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks.

[jagabo]

Yes, those are interlace comb artifacts. For viewing use a player that can deinterlace on-the-fly. VLC, MPCHC, KMPlayer... If these are downloaded files from Youtube they may not be fixable. If you want to upload interlaced material to Youtube or other online streaming sites you should deinterlace first.

Thank You jagabo.
If I deinterlace the video, can it play on most modern dvd players and tv?
Thanks.

[lordsmurf]

Yes, but it'll look like shit. You want the interlaced version for TV.

[jagabo]

When encoded properly interlaced video looks fine on DVD/TV.
