  • Deinterlace or Not?

    Posted by Allan Gordon on July 26, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    Hi folks,

    I film using a Sony Z1 and produce both widescreen DVDs and Blu-rays.

    I have noticed that some dvds show jaggies.

    Within Vegas 8 project properties there is the option to Blend Fields or Interpolate or None.

    Is there a prefered way to do this. I am pretty sure that the first view dvds that I did I had the setting at None???

    Cheers
    Allan

    You can follow this previous post that covers the topic a little
    deeper than what can be written in one post:…

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks that post was useful. However, it does not say whether Blend fields or Interpol is the better option when producing a dvd from hdv footage.

    If i leave it set as None, as i do for producing Blu-rays, the footage is totally unstable with all vertical lines as jaggies.

    Having played about with all 3 options I think Blend fields is the best. Although, all feedback appreciated.

    Cheers
    Allan

    Yes,
    Use “Blend Fields” as the deinterlacing method.
    Leave it at that default setting.
    If you want you can take a look at a handy little deinterlacing
    plugin/filter called “smart De-interlace” over at
