I'm getting a lot of interlace-lines when capturing DV video from my camcorder. The original video is fine, but as soon as it becomes DV-standard AVI then the interlace occurs.
Does anyone know of any tips I can use to eradicate these?
Thanks in advance.

You're in luck, I've just been fiddling my new DV cam and firewire ![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Using vegas video (from sonicfoundry) and I noticed I got interlace rendering PAL DV avi files. To fix it I looked in the AVI rendering options and changed "Field order" to "None (Progressive scan)", the other options were "upper field first" and "lower field first". I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it, but it seems to have got rid of it for me

I have a Sony DV PC8 (or something)
re the interlacing.... I've found that "Virtualdub" does the job!![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Yup field rendering is a video trick to make movement look smoother and cleaner when you have fast moving objects close to the camera. If you're obtaining from a dv source (or sending out to a digital source) you probably don't want this selected. Choose progressive instead...

Ditto on the PC8, on sale in dixons for £650 right now, believe it can be had cheaper online though. Only got it sat so only played with it a bit, pretty happy with it so far, touch screen lcd rocks for playback (beats loads of buttons on camera).

If I rendered the file with vegas video's default DV PAL settings and wrote it back to the camera, then played on both lcd screen and SVHS out it all looked fine, just isn't meant to be displayed like that on a PC (ie non-interlaced monitor) I guess.
