  MPEG Compression

  Posted by Chad Mayeux on January 20, 2009 at 4:03 pm

  Ok I am really trying to get a clear understanding about the concepts of video compression (i.e. interlacing vs deinterlacing, Variable and Constant bit rate, field dominance and any other confusing settings that go along with compression).

  My problem is that often when I compress DV footage into the mpeg or mpeg2 format, the resulting footage has very visible scanlines and from previous posting I understand that deinterlacing fixes the problem, but It also results in a loss of half of the video quality.

  Can anyone enlighten me into this crazy world of video compression and its many options and concepts?
