Deinterlacing animation: HELP

[some_stars]

I know that there are tutorials on deinterlacing scattered around. I've tried some of them, a long while back, and given up in total confusion. But now I'm making a vid from animated source (A:tLA) for the first time, and the interlacing is so noticeable that I can't just ignore it. So: How do I deinterlace? I'm really, REALLY hoping it doesn't involve Avisynth but if there is literally no other way to do it with decent results, I will deal. But seriously, ANY other method. I would go look for the tutorials again but honestly? I'm scared of them, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to extract any information from them.

So basically, how, and at what point do I do it? As I'm pulling the clips in virtualdub? Or before that, to the entire ripped .vob file? After I finish the vid? As for the "how" itself--the more details you can provide, the better. I don't expect (or really want) to understand how any of this works, I just need to know exactly step-by-step how to make it happen. I'm working with VirtualDub Mod and Premiere Pro 2. My usual procedure is to rip a .vob file, then make huffyuv clips in vdub and resize them if necessary, then export the finished vid from premiere in huffyuv and vdub it into divx.

You can do it in vdub. I just figured this out today, actually. I downloaded a filter (although there's probably an easier way to do it).

This looks potentially useful! But this part worries me:

Like for the field shift filter above, the input video to this filter must consist of individual fields at 50 or 60fps. If the source is in MJPEG format, VirtualDub can split the frames for you. Otherwise, use AVISynth to split them with the following script

I...don't know what that means(except that my sources are probably not in MJPEG format).

I do not know what that means either. BUT I deinterlaced in vdub today without doing any of that. I just put the filter in the filter folder and used the regular deinterlace filter (not even the 'smooth' one) and it worked.

that is good to know, thank you!
