Hello, I have a Video Capture card that outputs an interlaced stream.

I want VLC to deinterlace it and record it on the hard drive.

So I have done this :
- I've launched the Capture Card Video Stream with this command : "C:\Program Files (x86)\VLC\vlc.exe" dshow:// vdev="AV/C Tape Recorder/Player"
- I have activated Deinterlace in VIDEO > DEINTERLACE
- I have pressed the red RECORD button.

Unfortunately, VLC records the video INTERLACED. It ignores the fact that I have activated Deinterlace in the menu.

It would be really awesome if it was possible to record it Deinterlaced because Deinterlacing and interlaced video within Video Encoders like Handbrake or Sony Vegas takes a LOT of CPU ressources which increases significantly the encoding time. So deinterlacing the video stream during the recording would be an incredible time saver, and cherry on the cake, I could choose the most powerful Deinterlace method like "YADIF 2X" directly in VLC.

Thanks every body for your help !

This is intrinsically not possible. You need to transcode to apply filters.
