    Hello, I got a .mov-file from a guy that has been exporting it wrong. it should be 16:9 dv pal, but there some letterboxing or whatever you call it, so that I need to scale it.

    there is also these big stripes, like very big interlcing-progblems.

    Is there anyway I remove these big “interlacing-stripes”
    It’s not just to have it correct in the “interpret footage”

    I can use After effects, premiere or sony vegas, whatever works…

    thanks for any help,

    -Kenneth =)

    Those vertical bars are called pillar boxing rather than letter boxing which is horizontal bars. This means the 16:9 aspect is lost. You can’t get it back with just scaling; you’ll have to stretch it which will look terrible. Also the bad interlacing is not normal interlacing artifacts, meaning it looks like it is beyond repair. I would have him export it correctly. That footage looks unusable to me. Hopefully someone else here will have a better answer.
