  BAD Interlacing Problem ?!?

  Posted by Marc Istook on October 12, 2007 at 2:45 am

  I recently shot some 720p 24p Native footage on an HVX-200. I then dubbed this footage — with 2:3 pulldown inserted — to a miniDV tape for ingest into Vegas. I captured it, no problem, dropped it without removing pulldown into my 29.97 timeline, and Vegas recognized the footage as having the letterboxed Widescreen DV pixel aspect ratio.

  So here’s the problem. When I outputted the edited video as a DVDA Mpeg file and then to DVD, the interlacing as seen on an NTSC monitor was horrendous. Jagged lines on moving video everywhere! When I play back the MiniDV tape on an NTSC monitor out of the camcorder, it looks great. So somewhere between getting it into Vegas, editing it and spitting back to DVD I have a problem.

  I’ve tried checking the field order settings, de-interlace settings, pixel aspect ratio settings, pulldown removal, everything… to no avail. Anyone out there have any ideas what the culprit might be!? And what settings work best when conforming 720pN footage to 29.97 interlace output??

  Thanks,
