rehi all, i think the following article brings some kind of light to the interlaced/progressive scan issue:
http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_7_4/dvd-benchmark-part-5-progressive-1 0-2000.html besides concentrating on NTSC only it basicly explains the backround pretty understandable. I think we all agree that the 2 PC solution with Dscaler and the unnecesary AD-DA conversion is actually technicaly out of the question. As long as the DVB Stream is film-source based there schould not be a big Problem with softwaredeinterlacing. 2 fields schould make one perfect frame (weave). just remember that some stations (Premiere Cinedom Deluxe for example) are sending in anamorph with a descent bitrate nowadays. deinterlacing video based programs such as formula 1 (i hate stairstepped curves :-)) is more difficult and needs a lot of CPU horsepower. Motion adaptive deinterlacing should probably be left to special high bucks faroujda hardware and the like....But who knows, with clockrates gettting higher maybe its just around the corner. Does anybody know if the DVB stream contains the same flags as in the Mpeg2 stream on a DVD? Software Mpeg2 decoders usually read these flags and deinterlace according to them. Therefore you get problems when the DVD mastering was poor and the flags are set incorrectly. cu Mirko -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
