After spending several hours trying to figure out why I kept getting horizontal lines in my rendered video, I have finally figured out the problem. While there are several threads on this forum that talk about deinterlacing and rendering, I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for.
The problem was that any horizontal motion in my source videos would causing jagged horizontal lines in the rendered video. I could get it to look fine in the preview window, but during and after rendering is when the lines showed up. Here are the settings that I used to fix the problem:
Using NTSC DV, 29.97 fps, 720 x 480 for my project and MPEG-2, 29.97 fps, 720 x 480 source videos...
1) Project properties set to "None (progressive)" for the field order.
2) Deinterlace method set to "Blend" (but I've read that Interpolate should work, too)
Here is where I kept getting hung up...
3) When choosing "Render As..." I had to go to "Custom" and then the "Video" tab. I changed the Field Order to "None (progressive)" and this solved my problem. By default, it was set to "Lower field first" for the AVI template I was using.
Hopefully if anyone else is having this problem, the above solution will help.
