Confusing? Yes.

I understand the concept of interlacing, but this is what I thought: If I film in 50i, the cam takes frames two times faster than at 25p. It takes only half frames, though. I hoped, that by De-Interlacing, I could reconstruct part of the missing information, so that I get results that are – of course – not true 50p, but something that’s more fluent than 25p.

Did I get that wrong? False expectation? Is the 50i spec only marketing bulls#§”?

Would be cool if someone could clarify this for me…

Oh, that was easy.

Thank you very much for writing such a thorough answer, Gareth!
