I've had MSU work before, and now, when I try to apply MSU to a video clip, the lines are still interlaced.

For Halo videos, MSU works, but I am trying to get a video from my camcorder up, and MSU won't work for some reason.

I've tried changing Avisource to Directshowsource and adding AssumeFieldBased(), but nothing's working. Anyone got any ideas?

What type of camera is it and how did you get the footage onto your computer?

It's some old late 90s' Sony camcorder, so it uses 8mm cassettes.

I got them to my computer by capping them with my ATI TV Wonder Pro.

Ok.
When you capture you have to make sure your capturing using the matching interlacing method as the camera uses (upper field first/lower field first). Then take the uncompressed AVI file that you just captured and try to deinterlace with MSU.

How exactly would I capture using the matching interlacing method in VirtualDub?

The footage must be uncompressed, because if it's pre-compressed (in mpeg for example), you can't de-interlace it.

Not quite true.


On topic, if you live in the US and you bought your camera here it should be lower field first.
So try this: go into capture mode in virtual dub, and go to video-swap fields,
then capture your clip from your camera and try deinterlacing it. If that doesn't work,
lets see if we can target the problem by deinterlacing with just with virtual dub's tools.
To do that just open your uncompressed clip in vdub and go to video-filters and add the
deinterlace filter. Have the method of blend fields (for now) and go ahead and render
out your video and see if the deinterlacing worked.
