HDV 1080i 60 to H.264 interlace problems?
I’m testing the output of HDV 1080i60 to H.264. Tried using Compressor and Quicktime. Every attempt keeps leaving the H.264 video showing the interlaced video at the edges of a subject during movement. It’s as if I have my fields reversed. yet, I’ve tried lower, auto, and uppper using Compressor and Quicktime. Footage was acquired via the Canon XL H1 (source camera) which uses upper field.
So, the question is what should my settings be to achieve smooth video? I’ve exported a self-contained movie (HDV 1080i), and use that to create the H.264 movie.
thanks

use compressor and when you select de-interlace set it to sharp.

Question:
-use compressor and when you select de-interlace set it to sharp.-
Are you referring to Sharpen Edge filter in the Inspector window that allows you to change the parameters of your chosen video format (H.264 in this case)? Once you select that filter option it allows you to adjust the amount of sharpness 0 to 100. What should this be?
Appreciate your help.

I didn’t say sharpen edge filter I said de-interlace, the de-interlace filter has different options, Blur, Even, Odd or Sharp, select sharp.

Duh. I overlooked the de-interlace filter and jumped to the Sharp filter by mistake. Your suggestion definately did the trick.
Follow Up: Do you have any suggestions for creating really great looking video for the web? For instance, videos you download from Apple look so great. Obviously your source footage is important. The challenge I have not overcome is the compression method.
Thanks for your suggestions.
