Vegas Pro 8 refuses to deinterlace
I’ve got a device that records video at 640×480@30fps in XviD
format at high bitrates (8-12Mb/s) with interlacing.
Desired Rendered formats are all for playback on computers
thus need to deinterlace.I am able to open and deinterlace these files in Virtualdub
using its own native deinterlace filter, or commercial
Alparysoft Deinterlace filter also via Virtualdub.I’d like to save myself the extra rendering step though, and
bring em straight into Vegas Pro 8 for some simpler content.
Vegas will read the XviD formatted AVI files, but as far as
I can tell *refuses* to deinterlace. I’ve been through the
manual, and the help, and about a half dozen discussions on
the net, and the consensus of all is that the following
settings should do the trick:
1. Project Properties – Field Order: None (Progressive scan)
2. Project Properties – Deinterlace method: Blend or Interpolate (depending on content)
3. In Render template, Custom settings ensure that Field Order is None (Progressive..) where applicable (WMV
assumes Progressive output for instance).1 and 2 should control what is seen in Timeline Preview window (when set to Good or Best)
and 2 and 3 should control actual Rendering.The problem is, it doesn’t appear to do anything at all, anywhere,
ever. I know what Blend should look like. What I see in
Preview area is identical to raw input video.
What I see when I render to uncompressed AVI is also identical to
raw input video. I have never seen the deinterlace settings
have the *slightest* effect on anything anywhere.
I’ve tried converting input XviD files to uncompressed AVI
first, with no change. I’ve rendered output to AVI, WMV,
etc, no difference. All of them come out, still interlaced,
visually indistinguishable from the input.Am I missing something obvious? Is there an undocumented
combination of size/framerate/filetype that simply can’t be
deinterlaced?ian

OK Ian,
I understand what you are saying, i could recommend that you try a free filter to achieve this also called “smart de-interlacer” from
Mike Crash.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.
