MakeMKV - Deinterlace?

[cosmichobo]

G'day,

Quick Question?

I just ripped a DVD using MakeMKV, and noticed when playing in VLC that it's quite "interlacey" when there's motion.

However, if I view the file via Plex on my Mac, iPhone, or XBox, the interlace issue disappears. ???

Is this because Plex is performing some re-encoding, deinterlacing the picture?

I was trying MakeMKV again because of the ideal of not encoding the video - just ripping it - which is how I understand MakeMKV to work.

Ultimately however it's no good to me, as I ideally want a file format that works with Final Cut. but if it's also got interlace issues - that's even more "not good".

The fact that Plex seems to fix the interlace issues however has just got me perplexed.

cheers

Your guess that Plex is transcoding the file is probably right.

Can you use Handbrake to get the file in a usable format?

Resurrecting an older thread, I had those issues with Handbrake processing of MakeMKV files. Depending on how I processed the output from that, I got weird motion artifacts. I re-ripped the media, and also updated both apps, and the artifacts were gone.
