Having trouble interlacing.

Vanity · Post by **Vanity** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:28 pm

-sigh- ive been trying to interlace my NTSC footage.

I use this script : MPEG2Source("C:\yourfolder\blah.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)

But for some dam odd reason i get scan lines when i export from sonyvegas 8. pro =[. Now can anyone tell me a better script to use and what settings to set my footage to for fullscreen 720x480 because thats what i prefer.

This happens just when you export from Vegas? Are you sure your project settings and render settings are set to progressive?

By the way, I don't think you're trying to interlace your footage. I'm pretty sure you're looking to deinterlace.

hmm deinterlace. idunno im new to this and i wanna soo get rid of these dam scan lines. cuz i interlaced wit the script settings. Am i suppose to deinterlace when i export ?

in your export settings do you have the "interleave" box checked?
in your project settings is your project set up as progressive or something else?

the script actually deinterlaces not interlaces

hmm i have interleave set up im not sure about progressive. cuz sonyvegas is different i had it set to NTSC and no other codec...maybe thats where i went wrong and not puttin it to xVid.

no codec wouldn't have anything to do with it..

Export lossless (either huffyuv, lagarith or uncompressed avi), disable the "interleave" box, because it will try to interlace your footage... and make sure the project settings are progressive...

yes, you will get a very large file, but you take that large file and compress your Video and your Audio in Virtualdub Mod OR Compress both in Zarxgui

Oki i understand but not sure about the "Progressive" part. I went into sonyvegas render options and i found field: and i choosed (Progressive scan).

I have one more question: when i ripp my footage how can i get the footage to stay full screen 720x480 without black bars.

well full screen aspect ratio should be 640x480, before you edit in Vegas you should crop and resize your footage using Avisynth...

Code: Select all

Crop(0,0,-0,-0)
LanczosResize(640,480)

the crop filter works in pixels and goes like this left,top,right,bottom so if you put 50,2,-50,-2 you will crop 50 off of the left and right, and 2 off of the top and bottom

you would also want your project settings (which you can change by going to file then to properties) to match your source footage, and you want the pixel aspect ratio to be 1.

"Progressive Scan" just means that the footage is not interlaced, so if you deinterlaced to begin with then you should make sure the settings are "progressive scan"

720x480 is the resolution on DVDs because players will fix the ratio when you play them on the TV
