Deinterlacing, RGB questions.

Hi. Just got into capturing a few weeks ago. I am capturing from digital cable through S-Video input. TV-card is Leadtek 2000XP, not that it matters particularly.

I'm capturing shows with iuVCR in huffyuv at 512x384. I encode two-pass (int) Xvid, 128kbit MP3 with my files at about 220Mb for a 22 min show. I'm using Virtualdub to do all my encoding/editing. I also apply a deinterlace (blend) filter.

Now, my questions are...

- When I capture from iuvcr, what format should I be capturing in? I did all my captures in YUY2, and I tried RGB555 and noticed the filesize was much bigger. What's the quality difference?

- Is my resolution not appropriate for capturing (NTSC) TV? If I capture in a different resolution will I eliminate the interlacing effect?

- I think this deinterlace filter is affecting the "smoothness" of the video. Framerate is the same but it appears choppy. Is this filter no good?

Any help is much appreciated.
