I tried separating the fields and that did not work any better, so I assume I will just have to transcode the footage into another format. I know that uncompressed AVI looks just about as good as the original, but I also find that I get those results with h.264blu-ray or mpeg2 blur ray (m2v) I never heard anyone recommend those and I was wondering why.
I have read that many use QT with the animation or PNG codec, but I can tell a difference visually with them. Formats like FLV or F4V may look the same as the original, but I might be loosing subtle colors that are helpful with effects.
Which files do you (or anyone else) recommend I transcode to and why?
Thanks!
