CCOWers, what is this weird interlacing artifact?
I have been doing a lot of ancient VHS transfers to MPEG-2 (DVD) and I’m bedeviled by a strange artifact. Often, vertical edges in motion have a rippled appearance when I view them in DVD Architect or on my Denon high-end player in progressive mode to a plasma TV. (In interlaced mode, I get a similar artifact.) The only place they look normal is in Windows Media Player.

The videos are uniformly run through VirtualDub for noise reduction. I am using bracketing Deinterlace–>Unfold and –>Fold filters in VD. In Vegas, I am zooming in to lose head noise. All the settings are for interlaced video through to MPEG-2 creation.
Is this normal? I hate to send out something that looks like hell to me.

If you are smoothing and zooming it will create a gif like effect and matrix out as it is low res and even more low res when you zoom…try a diff tv or try a different workflow…I’m cheap and go direct to dazzle $15 video usb capture thingy and just color correct, and try diff render settings…
