When creating the .AVI, do you do it using progressive or not?

When using DGIndex, it tells me that the video i am working with is progressive. But if I select this using TMPGENC and create the AVI, the footage is still blocky. But... if I then select 'Deinterlace' as opposed to de-interlace only when neccesary, (when i create a new file in TMPGENC). It appears to fix the problem.

Am I doing this write though guys? Seeing what the source is and then creating my AVI accordingly?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure exactly what you're asking.

You probably want to use the "forced film" option in DGIndex and a framerate of 23.976fps in your AVI.

Sorry, I'l try to explain better.

Iv extracted the .m2v file and then fixed it in Womble.

This has gave me 1 video file (whcih is fixed) and 1 audio file.

Now because I want to edit in Premier Im now going to convert it to .AVI using the HuffyUV codec.

So when I use TMPGENC, it gives me the option to select the video type as:

Progressive
Interlaced

..and within the 'Filter' section. I have the option of

"deinterlace"
"deinterlace where necessary"

Now if I use 'deinterlace where necessary' it comes out as blocky still. So it seems that using 'Progressive and 'de-interlace' is the best way to go.

But before I embark on a re-edit..is it the correct way and is there something I have overlooked?

By loading up the .m2v file within DGIndex, it tells me the technical spec of the actual footage and its progressive. SO I think im correct in selecting 'progressive' within TMPGENC, but just want to make sure.

"Blockiness" is not something I'd associate with whether a file is interlaced or progressive. Not sure what TMPGEnc is doing to the file.

For converting an M2V file into a huffyuv AVI, you could try using VirtualDub-MPEG2 or VirtualDubMod. These will read the file and should correctly identify the framerate, then it's a simple process to set compression to huffyuv and save out an AVI.

Nothing wrong with making a huffyuv AVI, if you have the disc space. There are more elegant solutions, such as using Premiere plug-ins to read the M2V file directly, or a plug-in to read AVS files in conjunction with DGIndex and MPEG2Source().
