I have a sony pd150 and captured some shows on my TV. However, when I play it back on my computer [I imported at full quality DV on Premiere Pro] the quality is not as high as I would like it to be. I know pictures on TV's are alot sharper due to the way the TV renders the picture, but is there any way to make the AVI file on my computer as sharp? I know it has been done. And I believe it might be an interlacing problem or something. Thank you all! Drew Kim
You pretty much answered your own question. DV AVI is interlaced and your PC monitor is a progressive display. You're going to have to encode a new file in order to de-interlace your captured file. Besides, it beats keeping a DV AVI file that takes up 13gb per hour of footage.
