  • Remove tearing – possible?

    Posted by Ilkka Aaltonen on March 4, 2011 at 8:23 pm

    Hi,

    I’m wondering is it possible to remove tearing from my videos?
    I’ve tried to look around the web but couldn’t find any other topic about this subject so I thought to ask if it’s even possible to achieve it…

    I’m trying to render video footage that I have recorded from video game console in 1280×720 @60Hz / 50Hz (PAL) but due to the refresh rate of the video game console, recorded video has tearing in it.

    I have tried deinterlacing but that only removes the interlacing, however, it doesn’t affect to the tearing at all…

    In case you are wondering what I mean by “tearing”, see the Wikipedia link below:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

    I have set the video format into Sony AVC with .mp4 codec and rendering in 29,97 frames.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Does the recorded video already have the tearing? Did you try and record an NTSC console with a PAL capture device? I’m not quite following what you did. Can you please explain more completely?

    I have PAL console and the capture device can record both, NTSC and PAL. However, if the output signal from console is PAL and capture card is set to record in NTSC, I get no picture at all. So the these two must match to each other. PAL to PAL, NTSC to NTSC.

    And yes, the recorded footage does have the tearing already. I checked the footage frame by frame. Also, same tearing appears while I play, but it is easier to notice while I playback the recorded footage.

    If it’s in the file, then there is no way to remove it. The information simply isn’t there. You need to figure out how to record without the tearing. Perhaps change capture devices or ask the manufacturer why it’s producing the tearing. If the tearing can be seen while playing, then you have to fix that problem first. Either way, it’s not an editing problem or a problem that editing can fix.

    OK. I was thinking the exact thing since the problem is alreay in the recorded file itself and not caused by Vegas after rendering.

    At least I got the answer so I don’t need to think about the problem with every video I render.

    Thank you for your responds!
