how can I deinterlace?

Post by puttster »

when I capture my golf swing from my JVC digital camcorder it shows up on my monitor as a double exposure. Looks like I am swinging two clubs, one a foot ahead of the other. This happens when I use a composite into a Hauppauge 150 or firewire (AVI).

A friend told me it needs deinterlacing. In the manual is a screen with a "deinterlace" checkbox. It also a page about "field order, but if that option or the interlace checkbox are in my program (Moviefactory 3) I can't find them.

The scene was shot at 1/2000 and at my age that shoud be plenty fast! Any ideas on how I can sharpen up my video?

Thnaks in advance!

The Feild Order setting is under Advanced settings on the Capture menu. (It's on page 17 of my User's Manual.) I assume this is the problem.

I don't think de-interlacing would help. I Think all standard PAL & NTSC is interlaced. And, you don't really gain any quality by de-interlacing, because the 2nd field was shot at a later time than the first field... The motion means the two fields didn't capture the same identical image.

If you want to view the video on a stand alone dvd player i wouldn't worry about it. If the field order is correct it should play fine on a dvd player despite showing like that on the PC.
