Anyone tried this?

SHAKE still being the best tool available for up/downscaling on Mac.
If you see a copy to sell on eBay, don’t hesitate to buy it. Even if just for this task its really worth.

If one is upscaling interlaced DV footage using the Compressor method, into ‘best impression of HD’ footage, at what point in the process should de-interlacing be applied?
Prior to conversion? After but before editing? Only when editing is done and before exporting the final product?

If you are delivering Progressive, the most logical would be deinterlacing in Compressor at the same time you upscale the footage.
If you deinterlace after editing, it wouldn’t make no difference on the plain video, but graphics and other elements (animations, transitions) that have been rendered Interlaced, would need to be deinterlaced too and would lose quality.
Better to edit on a Progressive sequence and make the rendering Progresssive.

Hi Alexander,
I ran my tests long ago (FC, Compressor, Purifier, SHAKE), and I can’t remember wich position scored Purifier.
SHAKE beat by far all of them and didn’t make further test. I stick with SHAKE for every single up/downscale. In fact nowadays I only use it for that.
