    Does anyone use these programs to De-interlace their Mini DV or Dig 8 camcorder video. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to enlighten me how to achieve this. I have all the guides, read them , applied them without success--keep getting error messages, which vary , depending on the "method" I am attempting to use. I have the AVSedit program for the "scripting impaired"---trouble is, I don't know enough about the subject to ask the experts in proper terms, how the hell I get to de-interlacing my video, ????
    Thanks folks,

    Firstly Why do you want to de-Interlace?? Because you should know that Interlaced Video Looks Normal on a TV set and only Looks Bad on your PC because your Monitor is not made to display Interlaced Video....

    Also are you Planning on Putting these DV AVI file on to DVD?? Because if you are then you can usually De-Interlace while encodeing the DV AVI files to Mpeg-2 for DVD as Most "Good" encoders have a De-Interlace Filter Like Tmpgenc and CCE and the MainConcept encoder ect...

    You could also Frameserve from Virtual-Dub to your Encoder and Use the V-Dub De-Interlace Filter to de-interlace....

    This is How you de-interlace in V-Dub...

    Load your AVI into V-Dub and go to "Video" and set it to "Full Processing Mode" and then go to "Video" to "Filters" and click "Add" and then Find the De-Interlace Filter in the List and Double Click it and then select the De-Interlace Method you want to use (Blend is Best) and then click "OK" and then click "OK" again....

    Now if you want to Frameserve to an encoder Like Tmpgenc then you would go to "File" to "Start Frameserver" and then click "Start" and then give the Frameserver File a Name and save it....

    Now Just load the Frameserver File into your encoder Like Tmpgenc and encode like normal and the File will be De-Interlaced but the De-Interlace filter in tmpgenc is Just as good or better.....

    Cheers

    Thanks Minion, really appreciate the info., I'll give it a go. The reason behind me wanting to de-interlace is maybe not sound. I read a web page --100fps.com--on de-interlacing and the way the guy described it and the images he presented as examples, told me "I need high quality images"--like he depicted. I have tried everything else to get good quality video on to DVD, but at best, depending on what the encoders are set at, my end result is a "noise infected" mess. Camera direct to TV and it's fine, but once the image leaves the tape, it's all down hill. On the encoders---TMpgenc +Main conceptI've processed from every conceivable angle , but at best, the veticals and horizontals are "alive" with noise. A resolution chart is a real treat !!
    So, hence the de-interlacing idea.

    Well if you are Getting a Lot of Noise in the Image then Maybe try useing some Noise Filter5s to try to Smooth out the Image a Bit...

    Tmpgenc has a bunch of Good Filters but useing them makes the encodeing Take Forever...

    The best encoder for encodeing DV AVI files is "Canopus Procoder 2.0" ,It does a Very Good Job of encodeing Interlaced DV AVI files to Mpeg-2 and it also has a Bunch of Filters for Color Correction and Noise Filtering so if you can Get ahold of that program it might be worth a try.....

    Cheers

    Hello Minion..Can u point me in the right direction for this problem
    Was encodeing The Movie Interpreter Avi to DVD..when the power went out..when it came back on I tried again..this is the message I got

    Warning: DirectShow crashed while attempting to render this file.

    This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.

    The codec was tentatively identified as:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\mpeg2dmx.ax

    This was the primary Prog..Mainconcept Mpeg Encoder..crashed
    Also tried VSO DivxToDVD..would not even start
    DVD Santa..Just crashed
    Procoder..crashed
    AVI2DVD..crashed
    It all seems to be involve..mpeg2dmx.ax..this particular file seems to pop up as the problem
    don't quite know what to do..any help would be appreciated
    All these programs were working fine until Power outage
