Yes, I just realised this yesterday.
It really shows up when you chose 1080P on youtube, and yes it is horrible. It is called "combing" and looks like this:
Yes, I shot the last two blogs in 1440x1080 in 50i mode, not knowing any better.
Unfortunately the Canon HF G10 does not support 50P mode, only 25P. So I guess I'll have to shoot 25P.
I didn't think 50P mode was absolutely essential when buying the camera.
I haven't tried anything in software yet. I don't see an obvious "deinterlace" option in VideoStudio.
Are their any pros here who know the best option?
i.e. Am I better of:
1) shooting in 25P, outputting in 25P, and living with the motion blur (which I find fine actually, it's the combing caused by interlacing that is horrible)
2) shooting in 50i, and rendering in 25P or 50P somehow?
3) shooting in 25P, and somehow outputting in 50P?
It's confusing, because everywhere I read, everyone seem to say it's better to use 50i because it captures moving images much better than 25P, but as you can see the results in my case are just horrid. Perhaps I'm just not rendering the video correctly?
I need to run some test on this.
Here is test footage I did yesterday comparing 50i and 25P
You have to select 1080P in Youtube to see it.
Thanks.
Dave.
