Ok, so I'm converting home movies from VHS to DVD. I recorded them from the VCR using EyeTV 250 plus, all the while assuming I'm using the best quality. Here's my problem....
In EyeTV, it plays pretty good. I exported it as a .dv file to edit in iMovie, and when I play the actual file, it looks interlaced (or deinterlaced) very bad (I can see the lines throughout the whole video just about). Also, along the left and right side, there's wavy black lines, like the tape was moving around. In the EyeTV player, it's not there.
When I play it in iMovie '09, the the black wavy lines are there, and you can't see the interlacing (or deinterlacing), but the quality is very poor.
I do have iMovie HD, is that something I should try working with instead? I messed around with it earlier today, and honestly, I think '09 seems to make more sense as far as usability, although it may be because that was the first time I've ever opened iMovie HD.
I'd like to put up pics on here...do I just attach them or do I need to post them to photobucket and put up links?
