More on the subject of De-Interlace

I started a new thread because my question is bit different. I have a
PD150. I only use video on a computer, not a TV. Sometimes, I get good
results capturing and other time I see the artifacts. I shot some footage
the other day and I think my exposure was too low. I got a lot of artifacts
on capturing. I tried de-interlacing with very poor results. If
de-interlacing throws away half the infomation, maybe I should just be
trying the 15fps progressive mode? But why do I get artifacts sometimes and
not others. I would have thought a PD150 would render decent results for web
video and DVD.


When editing I have tried all of the options, frame base, field order a and
, but I can't see much difference. Your suggestions welcome. Not an expert
(obviously).

Thanks.

I am not sure what sort of artifacts you refer to, and what they look like?
Is it noise (because of low light)?
I do not have a PD150, so '15fps progressive' does not mean anything to me,
but I would stick to normal framerate (30fps in your case?).
The other thing I do not know do you use a NTSC camera on that card analog in?
What exactly is your setup?

Jan, Thanks for the speedy response. I am getting both horizontal inderlaced
lines particularly on movement, and low light artifacts a kind of fuzziness
or tiny dull sequin like effect. I output to wmv and rm (real video 10) but
the damage is apparent on capture to a DV type 1 format.

I am using NTSC and a 1394 DV in.

OK, I will only address the de-interlace, as I have hardly experience with wmv
and zero with making realmedia.
If your intention is to ONLY play on the PC (or any non-interlaced display),
then try to de-interlace.
Many people here can help you better in the MS windows setup with that,
but perhaps wmv also knows 2 pass encoding with a de-interlace mode.
Anything that is already there in DV is a camera issue in your case.
At least I think so (correct me somebody if I am wrong).
All I can say for now :)

Here is a link http://webvideodirectory.com/ch.html . You can see the
fuzziness and interlacing artifacts particularly at the beginning.

For 153 kbs it looks very good to me. This is hugely compressed.

Thanks, but I have others on the same site which look a lot better ( I
think ), especially the yoga one.

I don't have any interlacing problem on that one.

Hi, I have played the wmv a couple of times, those artefacts in the shoulders
for example look like -resize- artefacts.
Did you resize this, and how?
Yes it is fuzzy, and mplayer says:
VIDEO: [WMV3] 320x240 24bpp 1000.000 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
makes no sense to me :)
Maybe the header is not right...
Do not worry about that.
I think for a web presentation it is convincing, I played it full screen too.
Sound is OK.
What was the video bitrate, perhaps you can increase that a little.?
And perhaps, if that is posible with wmv use 2 pass and an other re-sizer.?

My process is to capture DVtype 1 from a GV-D900 Sony Video Walkman. I then
edit the video in Ulead Media Studio Pro 7. Resize it to 320 x 240 and
output it uncompressed. Then I convert that uncompressed file to wmv 2 pass
and Real 10. The Real 10 always looks better. On this video though the
original capture had interlace. Not only that - even on the GV deck I could
see horizontal lines!!!! It only got worse (of course) from there on out.

Does the uncompressed resized have the same typical step / stairs on the diagonal
shoulders?
