Why on my PC the raw video looks like it is interlaced instead of progressive?

I have that doubt, I shoot on 24p mode on DVX100b (scene file 5), capture it via Premiere @ 24P mode. When I play the video on Media Player Classic and it shows the "lines" typical of interlaced footage.

On the TV of course it shows ok, but on the LCD monitor not.

Had I capture it wrong with PPro?
Is this something I should'nt care?

Do I have to deinterlace it? It is progressive footage....

So many questions...:(
 
I've had some similar issues using FCP,

You don't want to de-interlace it.

Try exporting a short section of your footage through Premiere. and then watch it...

if you have quicktime try watching it in that, it might play a bit smoother (just my experience)

good luck.

Oh, make sure you didn't capture using a 24pA (advanced) setting because that uses a different algorithm to interpret the footage.

I play it on Media Player and it looks great now. It is some issue with MPClassic.
I tried it on quicktime and looks awful!!

-thanks!
 
Media Player Classic tells me that you're on PC, so you actually have plenty of freeware options for inverse telecine (though you'll most likely lose your timecodes).

I've IVTC'd DVX footage through AVISynth before, but for whatever reason, chroma detection was required to properly IVTC (even on 24pA footage), whereas most telecined material doesn't require the extra chroma information to be processed.

Something that you may want to watch out for though: It's perfectly fine to edit in 24p-in-60i if you're going straight to DVD or TV (though not preferrable), but I strictly avoid this when possible since as far as FCP is concerned (obviously not on PCs, but it's my main editor regardless), it will create additional layers in pure 60i, NOT telecined 24p. I'm pretty sure After Effects can compensate for the pulldown and insert effects at the native framerate (and later re-telecine the effect layers within the interlaced frames), but I usually use AE on native progressive framerates.
