WME9 Deinterlacing Setting
OK, I'm encoding some home movies from DV-AVI files with WME9. I thought I had a pretty good idea of the settings I was going to use, but then I remembered that somewhere I read we should NOT use de-interlacing because it was a serious quality degradation.
I'm not sure why this would be. When I did some tests, the de-interlaced video looked fine. Now, this was when I looked at it on my PC. I haven't looked at the video on a TV yet. Is that where I would notice problems? Also, if in the future my TV's are all HD and progressive mode, then in that case wouldn't looking at de-interlaced video content be the same as how I see it now on my PC? In which case since I'm preserving videos for far in the future rather than to be viewed right now, de-interlacing would be a good idea?
In a nutshell, is it bad to use de-interlacing if I'm trying to preserve as much quality as possible in my .WMV9 encoded archived home movies?
Thanks!
