Thanks for your reply Mark,

It’s a bit of both really! We’re both compressing them for the web display, but also for displaying in museum galleries – which usually involve playback via either a solid state HD or SD video player, or a Mac Mini/PowerMac plugged into an LCD or Plasma display to display the material. Either way, they will not be played back by standard TV receivers or DVD players – we’re digitising so we can keep the signal path almost entirely digital. Therefore I feel that deinterlacing may be necessary – or do you think this would be wrong?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, whenever I try that it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on the final footage. Being a small institution with a small edit suite we don’t actually have access to (or the budget for) broadcast monitors. I tried a digital signage display (just a glorified monitor really) plugged into the Intensity’s HDMI output but unfortunately it still displayed interlace lines despite running the video through the deinterlace option in Compressor… any ideas?

Thanks
