Video mode The Video mode entry provides setting options for interlacing. Video images are shown as two half images in interlaced mode. Every second line (1, 3, 5, …, 575) is shown in the first half image. The second half image displays the rest of the lines in the image (2, 4, 6... 576), so that the eye perceives a full picture. Most video material consists of half images. A deinterlacer is required for display on a full-screen device (monitor, projector). Nero Show- Time supports the deinterlacing techniques weave, bob and adaptive. The easiest way to fill in half images consists of displaying even and odd half images simul- taneously. This way, one half image fills in the lines missing from the other half image. The Weave deinterlacing method is appropriate if both half images originate from the same point in time and can be interlaced inconspicuously. With adaptive deinterlacing the missing lines in the fields are found and added while taking into account the surrounding fields. Good adaptive deinterlacers take into account up to five

Options Window images in both directions. The more images the algorithm takes into account, the more the output may lag. With bobbing, the missing lines in the fields are found, thus expanding each field to form a full image. The result of this technique is soft blending and some horizontal details may be missing.
