Hi Bouke,
when I switch off the de-interlace with the avi video in VLC, then the video looks ugly as the transcoded mp4 video ... not gorgeous.
Yes I know, I have to de-interlace the video. I was hoping, that someone with more experience than me could suggest me the best filter for this task, so I would not need to poke around to find it myself.
If I remember right, I had a good experience, when I set fps to 50 instead 25, so each halve-frame becomes a full-frame, but maybe someone knows an even better method.
I don't think, I like to trans-format the ratio, as this always eats information/quality ... and if one want to watch the video on an old TV screen, he would have the original quality.
Thanks for your sugestions.
-Ulf
