will interlaced on computer show up on TV

[woodrowsj3]

Here's the scenario. I capture a movie from cable using my Matrox g200tv card with mjpg. 720x480. I edit the avi with virtualdub to remove parts I don't like and save as a direct stream copy. When I look at the video on the computer screen, it has interlacing issues.

I want to send it through dvd2svcd to create a svcd. Lets just say all goes accordding to Hoyle and I get a good svcd burned.

Will the interlacing artifacts show up on my standalone dvd player outputting to my livingroom TV?

Does dvd2svcd resize the video to 480x480? And would I get a better picture if I captured at that setting?

To answer your question, "no, it won't". However, you should try to Inverse Telecine your capture to remove the added frames to bring your video down to 24fps. If you encode at 24fps, then apply a 3:2 pulldown flag, you will be allocating 25% more bitrate to each frame and your result will be that much better.

The persistence on a TV is much longer than on a computer monitor.
