Removing interlace flicker
I have some video that was captured from an old VHS tape. A music clip from my old band back in the 80’s. When I view this .dv file is looks fine in Final cut however when I render it into a DVD using iDVD and play it through my television all the highlight material flickers terribly. I’m assuming this is an interlacing issue.
Is there an easy fix for this?

How are you looking at a .dv file in FCP? I don’t believe that’s a supported format. Did you capture using iMovie and then bring the clip into FCP? Not a good idea.

I’m looking at the file in FinalCut now (V7.02) the details are:
Frame Size 720 x 576
Vid Rate 25 fps
Compressor DV-PAL
Data Rate 6.9 MB/sec
Aud Rate 48.0KHz
Aud Format 32-bit Floating PointI can view this in the viewer and it looks good. I’m chopping a bit of the front and outputting as DV-PAL 48kHz, when view this new file in Quicktime it look good. However when I take into iDVD and encode into a DVD and playback the DVD I get nasty flicker on the highlights.

I’m not familiar with encoding via iDVD, but when I used to use Toast Titanium to quick encode DVDs, I noticed the default setting is for NTSC material – maybe that’s causing your PAL video to have its fields reversed?
If you’re familiar with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro in your FCS3, I’d recommend you author your video via that method. Gives better quality.
