    Progressive vs interlaced

    Is there any advantage to taking a source file that is interlaced and converting it to progressive. I have a mpg file satellite capture that I demuxed then authored the DVD files so I can run it through DVD-RB with Hcenc 21. HCenc sees it as ALTERNATE since it is interlaced. Is there any advantage to converting to progressive and is it possible. If so when is it done in the process?

    Thanks

    It all depends on where you want to view the video. For viewing on the common television sets,it is better to leave it as interlaced.For viewing on PC,no need to make it progressive;just use a Deinterlace filter with the software player.
