Many archives are attempting to encode material from videotape that was originated on film. The original film material could have been transferred to videotape by telecine up to 30 years ago. After encoding, exaggerated interlacing artefacts, described as combing, tearing or ghosting may be found.

This paper explains the source of these artefacts and suggests some possible solutions. If you have these problems with your archive we may be able to help.
