Except you know that the player/TV has problems deinterlacing them. Usually HW players and TV's should have a rather good deinterlacing unit. You can test it, just play ba a interlaced stream on you devices, and the next time you dinterlace them, you should see which version you like more. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
