I'm exporting moves at 720x480 at a 4:3 aspect ratio and MPEG4 compression and I'm running into an issue that might be related to deinterlacing.
Here's a frame grabbed straight from the DV source material.

Here's the same frame post premiere.

Notice how the faucet becomes a flight of stairs. I'm getting a lot of this. I'm suspicious if this is the result of me deinterlacing my footage which is kind of required OR something else like the CODEC
I'm running Premiere Pro 2.
looks to me like low res preview footage, is that snap you've taken out from a render or during edit?
From the final render.
This is known as field interpolation. You can simply turn off deinterlacing if you wish, but you'll get lines. it's removing an entire field and then interpolating in between. There is nothing you can do outside of simply not deinterlacing. You could blend the frames but you'd get ghosting. E.G. resampling.
Right. I knew there was a proper name for it besides "thise weird lines you get AFTER you deinterlace".
Right, so I'm stuck with either interlaced footage which after being rendered as progressive scan (it's an option if you deselect the "Deinterlace" option is still interlaced as shit or is deinterlaced but looks like it was from 2001.
I paid $300 for a Panasonic DVX100AP (and that was on sale from $700) and this is the best it can do? Youtube calls bullshit. I have to be missing a setting.
just look for a progressive setting or 30p or something.
All interlaced content does this, not the fault of the camera.

Unless you're an idiot like me and you don't notice that all but one of the recording modes on the camera are for interlaced output.
Yeah, it has 24p and 30p modes that I didn't notice. They were mixed in with the other useless presets.
remember it'll be capturing that Progressive footage in a 60i container with pulldown
Why are you recording 4:3, may I ask?
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;41465428]remember it'll be capturing that Progressive footage in a 60i container with pulldown[/QUOTE]
Yea, make sure the editor has a good reverse pulldown, or maybe look for some scripts to do it.
Though if it's in a interlaced container, it likely will be labeled as 24f or 30f.

I'm unsure if the Widescreen mode on this camera is real or simulated.
Ah, try putting it in widescreen mode and see whether the picture really has more information or is just a cropped 4:3 image
shoot a res chat or a sheet of paper with lines on it you drew with a pencil

what camera is it?
Panasonic AG-DVX100AP. I got it for only $300 with a bag, battery, AC adapter and a skylight filter. Pretty decent deal.
The Camera seems to be able to do progressive, see if you can find cinema or film mode.
[QUOTE=pentium;41470081]I'm unsure if the Widescreen mode on this camera is real or simulated.[/QUOTE]On SD cameras it just crops the top and bottom then stretches vertically where the black bars would be on the recording.

No, that depends on the sensor chip in the camera. I have a MiniDV camera where widescreen actually means that you see more.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;41478438]The Camera seems to be able to do progressive, see if you can find progressive. [/QUOTE]
it does, and stores it in a 60i container with 2:3 pulldown, like most DV camcorders
out of interest pentium, why go for an SD camera in this day and age?
