x2 yeah, for the most part, I don't use Magix for anything but editing and effects.

The best export file you can possibly have is "Anything Lossless." [Uncompressed, HUFFYUV.avi, Lagarith.avi...] In theory the results should be the same, but with different formats and file sizes. So what determines quality then? What you feed Magix; HQ in = HQ out. crap in = crap out. So I suggest you import Clean HUFFYUV.avi file(s), and you will get a Clean HUFFYUV.avi export... or whatever lossless combination you want. It is well worth it if you have the space. You don't have to clean your whole source though... just the clips you need.

vdub+avisynth]

I've never made a fully functional .mp4 file from Magix; I'm not sure it's possible >.> Just export as a lossless .avi file [LARGE], and if you want a shiny x264.mp4 file, just re-compress with meGUI or Zarx's program that comes with the
beta AMVapp, which doesn't come with the
regular AMVapp. [pick

for interlacing, you generally want to deinterlace beforehand with vdub+avisynth [see buma's links]; If you feed Magix interlaced footage, you may have trouble deinterlacing afterwards, especially if you alter the footage since it might mess up the fields [ex. with zooms/pans etc...]. And always export as Progressive under Interlaced mode, or you'll just be reinterlacing something that you spent time deinterlacing
