Hey, i have a 1080i vid in imovie '09 and i am exporting with quicktime to mp4 so i can get it at 720p but there is no option to de-interlace, when you choose the standard presets it automatically does it though, does someone know a work around for this? thanks
 
You can set iMovie to deinterlace - there's no need to use any third-party tool. It's as easy as: Share -> Export Using QuickTime -> Options -> Size -> Deinterlace Source Video.
 
Thanks for that - a clear and simple explanation to get people started. I trust you'll not mind if I direct people to your site when encountering exporting questions in future.

I don't mind. I made those primers because I got tired of repeating my self at length in forums.

Notice I always link to the root (Guides/) of the pages because readers may see another guide they are interested in.

I've got other ideas to add and need to update the YouTube guide for HD.
 
Hello - First, I'm a 6-month-old mac user (well actually I'm in my mid-50's) and I have a DVD movie titled The Olympic Series Golden Moments 1920 - 2002 which I did some still captures on an Asus Eee PC netbok but the still captures are badly interlaced (see this) What is deinterlacing? The best method to deinterlace movies

and I found here this thread by googling "deinterlacing movies in imovie".

that it's possible to de-interlace the video with imovie 09. So what I'm really asking is, how do I transfer the video from this DVD to imovie?

and of the several books on imovie/idvd that're available at the local Barnes & Noble book store, what book should I get that will show me how to de-interlce and sharpen the video from the DVD as well as show me how to create DVD slideshows in idvd (came with my MBP that I ordered brand-new from apple.com's online store in July 2009 following the WWDC in June 8 - 12 2009) with menus?


Also, is it possible to get still captures from a video in imovie and transfer these still captures to a PC for editing in photoshop cs 3?

a few screen shots I captured from this dvd last night -
