depending on what res or wquality youre working with, you wont have to worry about it coming out... thats for lesser quality video than youre working with...

this is my understanding of de-interlacing...

i vs p


progressive captures everything at once the whole shot like a picture (hence the film look) progressive is when each frame captures half the shot

think of the the shot as a football field

progressive will capture the whole field at the same time

the interlaced will capture in 1 frame all the odd yards then in another frame it will capture the even yards

thats a pretty basic Danza laymen version of it...

if you head over to dvinfo they explain it very well... there are some cool proggys that do great de-interlacing...

I think it uses a pull down method like a 2.2.3.2 or something thats just off the top of my head.... if you want to go more just icq me....

p vs. i is like chevy vs ford.. all personal pref.. I like a film look on some thins and the interlaced on others... for sports or anything with lots of movement you want to shoot in i

for fixed shots like cooking shows p looks amazing..

take a look at red cameras or do a google of i vs p
