Deinterlace noob help

[Gurd99]

I'm using Handbrake to rip my DVD's & don't apply any deinterlacing. But the final video looks in major need of deinterlacing, noticeable when things move on the screen.

Why do programs like PowerDVD14, MPHC play the DVD files & look fine with no interlacing effect?
Finally when applying a deinterlace in Handbrake it just seems to me the final feel is slightly choppy when characters move on screen vs. the non deinterlaced. Would this happen?

thanks

Because they have deinterlacers turned on by default. My MPC-HC shows all interlacing because I turned off the deinterlacer in order to study my sources more accurately.

Finally when applying a deinterlace in Handbrake it just seems to me the final feel is slightly choppy .vs the non deinterlaced. Would this happen?.

Maybe you're doing it wrong. Maybe provide a short 10-second sample from the source and also provide the settings you're using in Handbrake.

Hmmm but when I play a video that was ripped with handbrake from a DVD & had no deinterlacing it shows the effects around moving objects.

The choppiness I think is too small to really know if it's real or just placebo.

thanks anyway

Because you are encoding interlaced content as progressive, which blends the two fields into one frame willy nilly in lossy encodings. Making automatic interlaced detection difficult, along with the impossible challenge of getting quality fields back.
