  Progressive h.64 file to dv

  Posted by Peter Dewit on August 30, 2007 at 2:58 pm

  I have a h.264 file that I need to convert to DV. The file was encoded progressively. So I try to covert ti(either via Streamclip, media Manager or jsut dropping it on a Dv timeline) and the footage comes out with what looks like a frame mismatch prolem. On most moving shots it has a bad stuttering flickery to all movement. I’m guessing that when it was interlaced the fields weren’t put together properly.

  I do not have the original media or I’d be working from that. any ideas how i could convert this footage better? I tried shift fields on both settings butit doesn’t seem to make any difference

  Also I guess I should note the original file is 640×480 so it does not fit the DV frame perfectly. the origianl was a wbe file so it wasn’t framed for TV safes either. As a result I’ve been returning the scale to 100 and accepting a small black border around the video rather than cutting off the titling.

  at that point I’d use compressor and set the field order there.

  The frame rate of the orig might be more important to the result than the fact that it was progressive. Was it 29.97 or something else?
