Has anyone ever worked with footage that looked like it was deinterlaced before it was put on the DVD?

What are you talking about sir?

I wouldn't want a de-interlaced DVD >:O.

However a progressive DVD. One that is pure FILM 24fps, is mighty nice and much better than it's telecined 29.97 counterpart...

In other words, yes... There are such things as progressive scan dvds.

Nope, I mean where they deinterlaced the footage before they put it on the DVD. (Yes it would also be progressive but that's not what I'm talking about.)

Like it's progressive and kinda jumpy?

There would be no reason. Unless you got a shitty bootleg DVD that was possibly made from shitty fansubs. Or maybe a shitty master...

I'd say a better word wouldn't be "jumpy" but "flickery". When I watch it the edges of certain things flicker. And when I went to make the DVD2AVI project file it was telling me I was getting film footage and the percentage meter was rising, but ever so often would run into NTFS. I kept it 29.97 and IVTCed and I am not getting ANY interlaced frames. However if I go to look at indevidual frames I can see stairsteppping and jagged edges all over the place. Telltale signs of deinterlacing.

And no Klinky, I am 90% certain that these arent fansubs.

What DVDs are they? Who made them? What series?

There are alot of ways that it could have been de-interlaced. Such as it being a bootleg or a homemade-dvd(like DV camera footage). But if it's a professional DVD they should not be doing any de-interlacing...

Atleast tell us as to warn other people...

The first season of Spongebob. It wasn't film so they'd be using digibetas, but I guess the fact that I can tell they deinterlaced means they didn't do that good a job to begin with.

What, your video file was turning into a hard drive? Impressive.

It's progressive. As long as the FILM meter keeps jumping all the way up to 97%, you can use Force FILM on it.
