I just wanted help understanding something about Interlace Video?

I know if a video is interlaced it meens that wen the video is displayed on screen it will Drqw the od Lines first and then go back and Drqw the Even Lines.

This is what they meen wen they say one Video Frame is made up of two Feilds.

I get all of this.

Now I use a program called WinFF to convert video files from one format to another.

And one setting on it has a check box that says Deinterlace. I can put a check to have it Deinterlace the video wen it converts it. Or I can not put a check to have it Not Deinterlace the video wen it converts it.

I thought since this is a video forum that some one may be able to tell me what Deinterlacing is?

I would think if Interlace is making a video frame up of two Feilds then Deinterlacing a video would be re makiong the video with one Feild.

Am I off or what am I not geting?

Thanks for help but one more thing?

I use movie studio 8.0 and am saving everything to avi uncompressed to store it.

I go into Custume settings and see the setting Interleave every Frame or Interleave every second Frame.

And I right that standard NTSC Interlace is every frame?

You should not be using uncompressed. If you used a DV camera to record, then you should select the equivalent DV NTSC template under AVI. The filesizes will be way smaller, and you will get no re-encoding if you used the right project properties, and used no plugins.

Interleave and Interlace have absolutely nothing to do with each other. You need not concern yourself with Audio-Video Interleave at all.
