Hi,
doing my 1st (and 2nd steps in kdenlive and could not find an export-template for PAL-DV.
I have to process a huge bunch of older DV-PAL snippets and try keeping the original format for quality-reasons.

Just built my own profile now as shown here https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=272&t=164406&p=427940&hilit=DV#p427940.
It works so far (seems to me...), but it forces 'progressive' - whatever I do.
In 'args=' I set progressive=0, but it is ignored. The dialog-box in export has a switch 'force interlaced' - did nothing.

The same behavior I had before if I'm trying the default h246 profile - no interlace possible.
All tested in mediainfo & vlc, visual check on TV also.
Can somebody help here?

Edit: Tested h264-i (default) again - interlaced resulted on, but result has upper field first, but selected was lower field first (tested in mediainfo) !?
Edit2: Render in HW-Accel the same problem, progressive only. Project settings has been 25-i and render-switch 'force interlace'!

Hi,
added this to profiles.xml

[code]
<profile name="camcorder/DV (SD PAL)" extension="avi"
qualities="5,15" defaultquality="5"
speeds="g=1 bf=0"
audioqualities="3,5,7" defaultaudioquality="5"
args="f=dv vcodec=dvvideo s=720x576 pix_fmt=yuv420p r=25 interlaced=1 colorspace=601 acodec=pcm_s16le qscale=%quality aq=%audioquality"/>
/code]

and worked for me. YMMV...
