Hi,
All i want to do is archive some DV-AVI on to a dvd without loosing too much quality. So... it seems logical to encode to mpeg2. I can do that fine using various methods, but my big problem is maintaining the fields from the original DV.
When using premiere pro (w/ adobe media encoder) or TMPGEnc, I cant seem to encode a 25fps mpeg2, while maintaining the original fields from my DV-AVI. When I play my DV-AVI, it runs smooth because (in my understanding) it plays at effectivley 50fps? I'm no expert tho :S When I run the resulting interlaced mpeg2, it runs much jerkier (less fps)
All i want to do is NOT loose the extra fields through de-interlacing, since I may want to be able to slow the video down at a later date, and still have the smothest video possible.
Is there a way, or even another format that, will allow me to keep the existing fields (or run at 50fps) and still be much smaller than my DV-AVI?
THANKS!!
