About Deinterlacing
You can use the Frame Controls feature in Compressor to deinterlace your video media.
NTSC and PAL video is interlaced. This means that each frame of video consists of two
fields (1/60 of a second apart), one with the odd broadcast lines and one with the even
lines of the image. The differences between these two fields create the impression of
motion. Our eyes combine these two images into one whole frame of smooth, realistic
motion at 30 fps in standard definition television, and because of the high field-refresh
speeds (1/60 of a second), the interlacing is invisible.
