Interlacing vs Deinterlacing

What constitutes a good video image? Of course there are many factors: focus, frame and focal length...composition, rule of thirds, 180 degree rule...content...and, as well, the technological make-up--or drawing-of the screen image itself. While interlacing served a purpose in the early days of TV, it is no longer needed, and is probably better let go all together.


Here's a very well executed test. It's hard to see the difference when you put two images of the same thing side by side. What Mark Empry does is show us the same image focusing on a small moving object. That moving object clearly reveals the difference in the two types of images.
