Re: interlace artifacts after Video Capture

[Dave LaRonde] "How are you looking at it: on a computer monitor or a video monitor?"

A computer monitor.

Basically it's nostalgic old stuff I will want to look at in the future (and I don't own a video monitor anymore)

I "de-interlaced" it and that got rid of all the horizontal line artifacts. I did that in Compressor.

But what does "de-interlacing" do? The clip I did it to still says it has a bottom field dominance. So I'm not sure why that helped.

Since I don't own a video monitor anymore. Should I convert all the camcorder stuff to 30p? (Or would actually be 29.97p?)

Like I said, I just have all these old VHS tapes and I'd like digitize them so I can do stuff with them in the future. Post to YouTube, make Quicktime files to play on the desktop, burn DVDs.. etc.

I'm not sure what the best workflow would be.

Thanks!
