I recommend you interpolate with x264, it looks better when there is no blending.

Also, you should really fix the color on those videos.

^ x264 2500 kbps ^

I tried to deinterlace better using this tut Crest >>> Best deinterlacing method
But, I wasn't exactly sure how to interpolate with x264.

Also, I tried to tone down the colors a little, but I am not sure if that helped.

All I did was changed the levels of my footage, because my CC captures a bit dark (Pyro), and sharpened it up a bit in V-dub Mod (16 Sharpness).

Feel free to critique.

Salt have you downloaded VLC Media Player, if not then DL from here >>> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC should have the proper codecs in it for you to view .mp4 files. I prefer to compress using x264 because it is just overall better compression to preserve quality compared to WMV, even though it is a 5-6 step process. I think WMV's look like sh*t in general.

Converting it to .wmv would destroy the purpose of using x264.

I'll take that wmv file you had before, I'll run it through AAE, and See if I can bring out a better video from it.

Interpolation is just removing 1 field then resizing back to regular aspect. Your blending was blending eachfield together. It looks too blurry to me. x264 does best with sharp images, so thats why I recommend that.

Thanks. I put it in that form so you could. See the difference.

All I did in this video was use Color Curves for the color , then used another color curves to tighten the blacks and raise the overall contrast, then used a unsharp mask to get the HUD and ui and stuff to come out alittle better.
