Help! Getting Jagged edges or "comb effect" after sending to compressor. Can't Post

Hi all,

I promised a couple HD DVD before Blu ray won the war. They have an HD DVD player so thats what they want.

I edited project in Final cut pro, HDV 1080i 60. The problem occurs after I send project to compressor when I preview compression in DVD studio pro there are serious jagged edges where ever there is movement.

The footage looks great in the FCP timeline and if i convert to QT movie it also looks good.

In compressor I'm using HD DVD MPEG-2 setting 30 minutes. I've experimented with changing the field dominance from upper to progressive and a few other things but can seem to figure out what is causing this effect.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ha!

Yeah, actually I figured that out yesterday.. duh.
I had a very strong memory of putting a deinterlace filter on the whole thing, but oops I guess I actually hadn't.
So yeah that fixed the problem.

Thanks
