Interlaced DV to Progressive computer playback
Hi all, I know this must be a topic betting into the ground by now, but my searches have not provided a solution to my problem.
The problem is I can’t seem to get a good progressive video render out of Vegas Pro 8b. I shot in SD DV, made a short video of my daughter’s Volleyball team. I’m trying to render for PC viewing, but I see interlacing going on.
My setting in project properties are set to progressive, deinterlacing method set to (tried all three) and didn’t find much of a difference. Render setting where Mainconcept AVC temp Apple IPOD 640×480 Progressive, 30fps at 2bps constant.
I have tried some different setting, but I still can’t seem to get a good progressive looking video for PC viewing.Here is a link to the video that I’m talking about.
Please note that I am in now way promoting this site or anything on it. I’m using it for the sole purpose of storing video that is unchanged by the website so I can download it to another PC.
also after clicking on the download button, you will need to wait a bit for the real download button to appear.I would appreciate any advice on some setting to try.

Your link leads to here with no way to know where to go to view your video:

Mark,
It may be just my 65 yr old eyes but I did not really see any interlace problems – at least at the size it played back. I loooked pretty good. What flash encoder did you use? -
Hi Terry,
The website makes a flash file for viewing with out downloading the original. The flash one they show is pretty decent and does not show the interlacing that I’m talking about. In order to see the original file you have to download it. The link will show about 30 seconds after the flash file starts playing. It took me a bit to figure that out when I first set up the account. Once you download it and play on your PC, with QuickTime as the default player since it is an mp4 file.
The interlacing is most noticeable there. VLC will play the file and it will look better with it, but it has built in deinterlacing.PS – I’m sure your eyes are fine.

You can render out a Windows Media Video that looks good. I usually work in Vegas 8 with 1280d files I produce with CineForm Prospect. If I want on produce Flash I’m now using the $39 On2 Flix program. See the videos at my site:
(you have to enter the site). Those files are 640×360 converted from 1280×720 wmv files with the 300kbs VP6 codec setting. The files are very small and I think they look pretty good. Also, Adobe Flash player will play the H264 files now.

I sat down last night and tried every way I know on how to render to progressive. No matter what I did the opening of the video still looked interlaced, but the rest of the video looked ok.
So I had a thought. The opening with the camera view flowing over the picture wall was done in After Effect CS3. I rendered the file out of AE as standard DV, avi , lower field first file. Brought that file into Vegas and compiled
the rest of the video. I checked the properties of the AE file against the other DV clips that I had and the match from what I can see, so I didn’t think it would be a problem.
So for a test I went back to AE and rendered the opening out as a progressive scan file. I then brought the clip back into Vegas and replaced the original opening lower field first file with the progressive scan file. I then rendered out of Vegas a progressive scan video like before and the video look great! I uploaded that version to the website.
SO the question is why Vegas wouldn’t render the AE file like the other DV clips that where in the timeline? Will have to look into this further.
So I just wanted to give an updates as to what I had found.
