I’ve been using VLC Player to watch live streaming firewire output from my DV camera to my notebook. What I love about this is the beautifully smooth way VLC deinterlaces on the fly.
What I’m wondering is, since it can do this so well in real time, is there a way for it to write those files to my hard drive as progressive scan DV? I’ve looked around a bit and it SEEMS like it can do it, but the interface has me stumped.
The reason I’d like to do this is for converting my DV file to (fake) HD with Red Giants Instant HD program. The problem is, Instant HD requires progressive input, and my Canon Optura Xi is interlaced.
If VLC cannot do the capture/convert to progressive, is there some other solution? I am just using the firewire input on my P4 notebook.
Thanks, and sorry if this has been covered here before.
