  RE: Capturing Mini DV: Is it possible to adjust the output file type ?
  @CarpentersMate Mike, I exported to MPEG 2 (as suggested), adjusted the size and frame rate in MAGIX export settings however the resulted file is not recognized by Quick Time ... I don't have an explanation for that; it could be an Apple/QT-specific

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis Hi . . . . in MainConcept you do get the option of using interlaced. So I just wondered whether it would make any difference . . . . At 25 fps there would be no difference at 50 fps possibly a slight improvement. John EB Hi, So if we

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis So what is it about H.264 that it can’t cope with rapid motion without increasing from 25 to 50fps? Probably because you're only getting 25 frames every second with H264 (remember H264 is normally a progressive video codec), whereas

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis Just a passing comment. According to MediaInfo the source and exported mpg files are 25fps interlaced. The mp4 file is 25fps progressive. On playing the mpg files will deinterlace and display 50 fps. The mp4 file will only display 25

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @jak.willis Hi Jak . . . . then the motion in the output file/video is almost identical to the original. But when I re-encode the video using H.264, then the motion is way poorer than both the MPEG-2 version and the original. . . . . Assuming you

  RE: MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
  @CubeAce Ray: Once you combine those frames to progressive they can't be separated again and you have say 30 frames rather than the original 60. Trying to interlace them after would mean producing more frames to be interlaced. That could be the

  @AAProds Hi Alwyn . . . . The only issue is whether the top or bottom field is "thrown away" to get rid of the combing, or a smart deinterlacer such as QTGMC combines the two fields (better quality video).  . . . . If you 'throw a field away' you
