Transcode DVVIDEO files

Hi,

I have some AVI files captured by Windows Live Movie Maker from my DV video camera.

ffmpeg -i returns the following:

  Code:

C:\Temp>ffmpeg -i test1.avi

When I play the files from my PC the video is quite good.
When I see them on my TV using serviio, they are transcoded but something is wrong with the interlacing (I guess): a sort of horizontal lines are shown.

My profile is customized like this:

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">           
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" />


Is there something I can do to improve the quality when watching these files?

can you upload a small sample somewhere for me to reproduce?

hi Zip, do you face the same issue?

yes, it's interlaced. I tried to de-interlace it in ffmpeg, but the result was pretty bad. Your best bet is to deinterlace it in some good tool and share then - or try to find a setting on your camera to not use interlaced streams.
