Clearly you need a motion-compensated deinterlacer. ;-) It's still not going to be as good in 25p as it will in 50i in my opinion unless the scroll speed is reduced. Though judging by recent attempts to destroy end credits on virtually every channel I doubt slower speeds will be

It occurred to me the other day that one solution to the problem might be to delinterlace the scrolling credits used at the end of programmes on the originals. It might even make them easier to read. On 6 March 2010 08:34, Kieran Kunhya kie...@kunhya.com wrote: Don't TV Catchup have
