When format do you want to go to? Video or computer display?

If targetting computers, you should probably always go progressive. If you render to 320X240 frame size or smaller, that should naturally de-interlace footage.

If targetting video, interlace is ok. Some people also like the look of 30fps progressive and 24fps progressive. You can convert 60i (60 fields / second, interlaced) to 30p with mike crash's de-interlace filter.

You can also convert 60i to 24p... Vegas 6 does a good job at this. Vegas 5 and before don't do that great a job.

2- Interlacing will display "correctly" on a CRT television, but not on a computer monitor.

Question on topic:

When I render in Vegas using 23.976+2:3 pulldown (progressive - MPG) and then encode footage (Flash) using Flix Pro, audio gets out of sync.

Will using Mike's de-interlace filter alleviate these sync problems?

gdstaples: I don't use Flix Pro so I have no idea what's causing your problem. I don't think Mike's de-interlace will help though.

Sounds like Flix doesn't understand pulldown video well enough, at least not in MPEG. Rendering to MPEG first won't exactly help your quality either.

What was the source frame rate and video format (DV, HDV, ...)?

Thank you! Good information. Video does indeed display correctly on the CRT, even though the edges look rough on the PC monitor.

Format was DV at 1080i
