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. But "interlace video" is a bit of a mutt.
"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.
A hard telecined video residing on a disc is clearly not interlaced. It is
clearly deinterlaced (i.e. stored in fields). Since it is deinterlaced, it can
be fed directly to a scanning TV (i.e. CRT) provided it is of the proper frame
rate, or it can be interlaced -- a verb -- by a decoder as part of the decoding
step.
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).

I have great respect for you, Ted. Tell me: What is interlaced video?
