Deinterlacing Issues in VLC Media Player

Recent Updates Affecting Deinterlacing

Attention, VLC Media Player users! It has come to our notice that many users are experiencing issues with the deinterlace function after updating to the latest version 303. Unfortunately, the various deinterlace modes may not be working as expected.

Breaking Down the Problem

To explain the issue in detail, the deinterlace setting, when turned "On," is currently applying deinterlacing even to videos that are originally not interlaced. This leads to undesirable visual artifacts and distortion.

A Real-World Example

Take the example of DAzzle DVC 100 users who are attempting to stream live HD TV content. When using FME to deinterlace the video, they have encountered unsatisfactory results due to the incorrect application of deinterlacing.

Finding a Solution

To resolve this issue and ensure optimal video playback experience, users can adjust the default deinterlace method in VLC. Follow these steps to do so:

1. Open VLC Media Player.
2. Click on the "Tools" menu.
3. Select "Preferences."
4. In the "Preferences" window, click on the "Show Settings" drop-down menu and choose "All."
5. Navigate to "Video" > "Filters" > "Deinterlace."
6. Select the desired default deinterlace method from the drop-down menu.
7. Click "Save" to apply the changes.

We encourage all VLC users to check their deinterlace settings and make the necessary adjustments to ensure smooth and accurate video playback.
