I'm doing some conversions from old VHS tapes to DVD...these are instructional tapes that are not on DVD at this point. I'm trying to save them from degrading further form over playing (lots of stops and rewinds ect).

Anyway a few of the tapes are low quality. I've had some decent results with the filters in the VHS optimal scripts when doing kvcds (352x240), just wondering if these work the same way when I'm dealing with interlaced material that I want to keep interlaced for DVD. I'm using 352x480 by the way.

I don't know, somewhere I got it in my head that the filters would have trouble with interlacing...anyone want to set my mind at ease...or set me straight before I start on those tapes?

Thanks for any help.

First: How do u record ur material to ur pc? With virtualdub?

When there is a way than use virtualdub as an frameserver for ur vcr.
So u´ve the posibility to encode directly to KVCD. But u must encode ur Audio with TMPGEnc. It´s the only way...

What u can do also is record ur material in the best way u can to AVI or MPEG2 (DVD). Than u can encode the audio part seperatly with besweet.
The audiopart can u than add with ur wanted filters in MovieStacker and encode it in the normal way with ToK+TmpgEnc.

Maybe u´ve these problems:

U´ve async audio: Try to record on a faster HDD or choose another program.
U´ve macroblocks on ur recorded material: Try a lower resolution with more bitrate. (Use 352x576 (or 480) Half DVD if posible, its the best way).

Good luck.

P.S. Take a look to this also

Yes, I'm using VirtualDub...I'm not having any sync issues...at least not yet. I've done kvcd conversion without trouble, but that was with captures at 352x240 so there was no interlacing. I'm now capturing at 352x480 and keeping the captures interlaced for xfer to DVD. I've just done it with two tapes that were very clean so I used no filters and they came out quite well. I would like to use some of the smoothing/noise reducing filters on some older tapes and just wanted to know if the filters would work correctly on interlaced material. I thought the interlacing might confuse the filters.
