So you mean I can just open the mpeg2 files in Compressor and export them as Apple ProRes (and scale)?
Mpeg Streamclip is what I usually use but for some reason these particular Mpeg 2 files (from a film archive) wont open, usually I have no problem with Mpeg 2.
Thank you for the information about iFFmpeg, didn’t know this!

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply!

[Bret Williams] “f that’s to much work, you can just edit in an interlaced sequence. You can shoot the remainder progressive or interlaced. Won’t make much difference. Simply de-interlace on export to your preferred format.”

Will the result really be the same if I shoot interlaced and then deinterlace on export, or if I shoot progressive and edit progressive?

Another perhaps stupid question. What is the difference between 50p and 25p? 50p as far as I understand has twice as many frames but is smaller in size (1280 x720), how is the image (and movement) experienced differently?

Thanks! Very helpful.
One question, if I export the sequence to compressor in order to deinterlace it and then import it again, will I experience a lot of loss in the quality of the image?
