PAL TV - Deinterlace or Not?
I posted this in the New & Alternative Codecs forum because I'm encoding to WMV, but in hindsight that was a mistake as I believe most people laugh at WMV... ho hum. I'll paste my problem here and hope someone can advise on my deinterlacing dilema at least.

And watching them, I assume, on a flat screen TV?
You may or you may not use deinterlacing, a bad deinterlacing remains in the video forever, while the hardware deinterlacers (in Xbox or TV or AVR etc.) might improve in the future. I never deinterlace interlaced videos, in particular those pure interlaced (camera) ones like yours, my Bdplayer passed all tests of HQV interlaced tests. If you have time, or a fast processor, yes, use Qtgmc as indicated.

Hi, I also am on process of converting old TV shows etc (I'm in the UK),so shows like Red Dwarf Bottom, Only FooIs n Horses, Game on, etc etc...
Im currently doing tests with QTGMC @ slower preset (afaik this uses both fields) so no motion loss and 576p . I'm using ps3,mobile devices, xbmc etc for playback etc. This seems to be pretty good, ? Cheers. |

IMO for truly interlaced content doing a QTGMC at veryslow or placebo and then encoding as 50p/60p is the way to go. Did that to my old DV tapes and it looks better than real-time deinterlacing (Yadif2x is the best that runs realtime on my machine but it still has staircases on horizontal objects). If hard disk space isn't a concern I'd still keep the original interlaced content though because you never know if there'll be even better deinterlacing methods in the future. (I keep my DV material on the cassettes but not on the PC because at 30MBit/s it means >300GB per day and if you have several days of content your HDD will be filled very quickly)
