I noticed that the video that I copy from mini-DV tapes through Firewire is interlaced. I guess that the best is just to archive this exact digital copy and then deinterlace it afterwards, either in connection with editing, or simply making a deinterlaced H.264/MP4 file through Handbrake for viewing? And then keep the original, interlaced DV file for archival purposes?
Also, another question: I guess that the time codes etc are kept in the DV files (AVI) - I use Scenalyzer to "capture" the video. The files have already been named by date and time according to the time code, but is there any other ways to extract those metadata? I think I saw once that you could convert them to subtitles?
I'd be interesting in hearing about your best practices in this regards.
