Any advice from video people?

I'm trying to import interlaced DVD video from a DVD Recorder to #DavinciResolve.

Resolve doesn't like the raw mpeg 2 video, so I have to convert it to something like mp4 that it's happy with.

The problem I'm having is keeping the interlaced nature of the video during the conversion. #Handbreak seems to turn it into a progressive file, and I find conflicting arguments about whether it can handle interlacing at all.

Am I finally going to have to learn #FFMPEG?

@LaserdiscTurtle You can change the scaling / filter in Handbrake. If you set it to "Do nothing" it should keep the interlace untouched. Maybe 😄

@Kristofferabild That's what I'd always assumed, but I noticed that it appeared to have done something odd with this particular file, and when I checked media info it said it was progressive! Turns out Handbrake de-interlaces fine...but not so good for keeping interlacing.

@LaserdiscTurtle @Kristofferabild There are de-interlace settings to say how you want it de-interlaced.

@mfraz74 @Kristofferabild Yeah, I can control how it's de-interlaced...but trying to keep it interlaced seems to be a problem.
