Interlacing and output for PC/Internet

[Martin Chambers]

Hi guys,
As my work is exclusively PC / internet based (and therefore not UK PAL TV), what is the best way to get the best quality output? I have a Sony FX1 camera.
Do I record and edit in interlaced mode , then de-interlace at the end?
If so, what is the best de-interlacer?
Or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Martin

Sure.

If so, what is the best de-interlacer?

If by "best" you mean which has higher quality output, see some of the avisynth plugins/functions like mvbob andTdeint/EEDI2. MCBob also gives amazing results but is incomplete.

Smart Deinterlace is nice, but it's automatic so you might not like it if you like to tweak settings.
