Interlaced photo from Camera transfer?

[mlsnag]

I transferred some tapes from my camera via firewire using Scenalyzer. There's a photo in a video and MPC can't play it properly. Its interlaced. VLC plays it ok and windows player plays 2 diffrent frames for some reason. The thing is when I'm using Handbrake to reduce size, the issue remains for every player. Any tip? :/

Also, something I can't understand is why the video say it's 720x576 but it's 768x576.

Thanks

Perhaps attach that small clip here?

Its not the best one (due to personal data) but you can see the issue.

Your sample is corrupted.

The file is fine, the data is fine, but the stream is corrupt and frozen.

As I said it's a photo that's why it's frozen. The only stream is the audio which I removed.
You can see the difference between players. For me VLC plays it fine.

MiniDV home video is interlaced, what's the problem?

Reduce the size of a photo taken in DV format with your camcorder. Handbrake??? Why you just do not open in VirtualDub and copy the video frame to paint .png?

Because a 4:3 DAR 720x576 video when properly displayed becomes 576*4/3=768 (x576), as it should be

If you play the clip that I've uploaded with MPC its like interlaced frame. But if you play it with VLC its normal like in camera screen. If I'll encode that clip I'll have that issue even with VLC.

It has audio, its not just a photo. I could keep it that way as RAW but I would like to find a solution for files which include video and photos and it's not separate files.

The video does not care about the player, it is what it is. Probably you have deinterlacig options enabled in VLC.

Not sure what you mean. A DV captured file should have a 4:3 DAR flag. You can compress it with ffmpeg to whatever you like with 1 line command. For interlaced material use option -x264opts interlaced:tff=1 or -x264opts interlaced:bff=1. What is the purpose of using Handbrake?

I'm using Handbrake cause its easier. I'm not familiar with encode using commands.

So I guess its normal, right?

Should I deinterlace the videos or just the photos?

For the photo probably yes, for the videos I cannot give a recommendation. It depends on your final display choice. It is very common to deinterlace with QTGMC in AviSynth for YT upload o for watching on mediocre TV/Monitors, or leave interlaced if your SmartTV handles very well interlaced material, or for DVD creation (MPEG2), etc, etc...
