Re: Problematic Interlacing

Thank you all for your advice and guidance. Talking to the people in Russia it seems more evident now that they did not recently transfer the film, but they made the Digibeta from an old master. How that caused the interlacing problem I am not sure, but that also makes sense why the noise in the footage looks like analog noise. It appears the problem is 'baked in' and we are getting good results with deinterlacing the footage, so all is not lost. It's just a shame that these aren't brand new transfers, but you can't always get what you want.
