QT - horisontal distortion

Hi
every time i encode QT movie with QT pro, I get spiky edges on every moving object. result is same for all codecs and settings. wel,l except original DV. I tried pixlet, H.264, mp4, 3ivix etc.
am I doing something wrong? is there a setting to tweak?
need advice urgently, getting really low on disk space.

Have you tried turning interlacing on/off?

there is no option for that.

I have never heard of that, all I can say is if you have final cut pro, open the file in there, put it on your timeline as if you were editing, then go to file export, as quicktime and save that where you want it.

I beg to differ (At least this works for me on .mov files under QT Pro 7 - your mileage may vary)

Ok - open the Movie you want to watch.
Then select 'Window' -> 'Show movie properties'

If you then select the video track, and go to visual settings, there are a bunch of advanced options, one of them (bottom right hand corner) is 'Deinterlace'.

Try turning that on or off and see if that makes a difference.

tried, but doesn't help
