Hi, > In the case of "interlace": > "It's interlaced video" -- video in which the lines alternate (i.e. are > interlaced) between two (or theoretically, more) fields (e.g. > odd-even-odd-even...). That employs the past participle of the verb, > "interlace", as an adjective to modify "video". > > H.262 refers to "interlace video" when referring to hard telecine.

"Interlace" is clearly being used as an > adjective, yet "interlace" is not a participle (past or present) -- > "interlaced" is the past participle and "interlacing" is the present > participle. What it would have to be is a verbal adjective (i.e. a verb used > as an adjective). I may be wrong, but I don't think there exists such a thing > as a verbal adjective. That's more or less what a participle is.

Is it? Hard telecine is like telecining film and then recording it on a VCR, isn't it? And you don't need to deinterlace interlaced video to display it on an interlaced scanning TV. I think the confusion is when you deinterlace interlaced video, it is still interlaced video (or at least I think of it that way).
