Alright. At least I know my equipment is not defective. Thanks a lot, it’s a great relief for a very long lasting problem.

Steve, That is because I want to publish it also in youtube and be able to reproduce it at top quality in the computer.

[Juliano Kessler]

Well.

I think I’ve got it.

After reading your answers I’ve read Wikipedia and it all makes sense now.

There is a number of deinterlacing techniques, but Vegas only offers 3 options and they don’t seem to work very well. I tried all 3 options Vegas offers: None, blend fields, interpolate fields. I couldn’t see a difference between them.

Considering interlaced displays should become less and less supported from now on (as I understood from Wikipedia) perhaps that’s a good reason for me to consider shooting at 30p or 24p from now on?

Terry, I’m not sure if I agree.

If I render the video I edited to an AVI file, then I play it from the computer in the computer monitor or from the computer hooked to the full HD TV, the image is awful.

If I play the original non-edited image from the camcorder directly in the TV, the image is good.

If I print the edited video back to the MiniDV tape and play the tape in the camcorder directly in the TV, the image is good too.

But it’s not blur. It’s indeed ghosting. Objects are not blurred, they are doubled. They are often crisp, but still doubled.

Have you seen the pics? In the white wooden sticks in the back, it’s very visible. They are not dragged from one point to the other; Instead the sticks are in 2 places at the same time, and they are relatively crisp.

How come I don’t get the doubling effect in the preview window, in preview quality and auto size, but any other quality & size settings produce the ghosting?

If I render, I get the ghosting effect, no matter which settings. Progressive field order setting seems to minimize it though. I tried all combinations of all video rendering options that Vegas offers, as seen in pic #5.

If I preview the footage in best full quality I get and horrendous image that is absolutely not what I get if I play the MiniDV tape from the camcorder directly to the TV.

hi.
I shot the video with the Canon HV30 in 60i mode. Isn’t that 29.970 fps?

The project and the rendering I’m doing are in 29.970 fps.

Changing “Project Properties/Video/Field order” to progressive made a real improvement in this effect. At an initial look it almost eliminated the effect, while before it was ALL choppy. Thanks a lot, so far.

I will be out now for 3 weeks… When I’m back I will look further into this and hope to be able to resume the discussion. Thanks again, so far.
