Should I always ivtc interlaced video?

[paulr24]

I recently saw that a dvd release was nuked and the proper said this:

"The other release was deinterlaced which makes for alot of choppy motion in software players and standalones. Leaving it interlaced would have produced a smooth playing result on standalones and with some tweaking of certain software players, but we like to ivtc when interlaced source needs encoding, which we did here."

They say that leaving it interlaced would produce a smooth result, so why would they ivtc it? I suppose it must produce a better result since they took the time to do it? Should I bother when encoding my own dvds?

What do you mean by "they" and where are you getting these "releases"?

[paulr24]

"They" would be the person/group who encoded this particular dvd. I think it is against the rules to say where I saw this information or where I'm getting these "releases" so I didn't. Plus, I didn't get this "release," I just saw this information.

What does this have to do with my question? I only wanted to know whether interlaced video should be ivtc'd or not, it wasn't necessary for me to explain where I found this quote and I only used it as a reference for why I was asking the question.
