Best DeInterlacer Software ?
 

There is a slew of DeInterlace apps out there, which one delivers the best results ?

Thanks

Deinterlacing: Fieldskit
24p deinterlacing: Magic Bullet
Free: Avisynth (PC only)

Well, my Film Effects does great 24p which many prefer to MB.
Fields Kit is excellent, but then again, so is the new de-interlace I have for my FinalTouch plugins, which looks really really sharp.

I've been very happy with DVFilm.

great ! Thanks for the replys - I'm going to try out the demos :)

OT: G, do you have a tech support forum or anything?

I do like Film Effects, but I have had a lot of issues with the demo (v2.5.1 i think - seen this with others as well). Color processing is great, the 24/30p options are fantastic and looks right, but I get noticable horizontal banding in the render. It doesn't have anything to do with the watermark or quasi-pulldown/interlacing - it's 3 or 4 horizontal bands that show up generally everytime there's a cut. It only shows up in 24p (30p seems fine) and experimenting with field options or patterns doesn't remove it (rather it staggers it).

I don't have a forum. I just hang around on other people's.

Do you have any other filters applied along with the 24p, and how are you monitoring. FCP does a rather poor preview in it's windows. Failing that, send me details of your set up, your timeline, what type of footage, etc. and I'll find a solution - it's probably something simple in what you're doing.

I'll see if I can get some screenshots and shoot you an email. It's definitely something in the render/export process (rather than a preview) as I've tried authoring some DVDs with the footage to see how it looks on the boob toob. Shows up in the file.

Thanks!

Could be a field order issue. That's something we can definately find where your workflow is going astray.
