It really isn't doing interlacing. Yes, it is an illusion, but when you get down to it, that's what interlacing really IS, an illusion. When you interlace a picture, you draw half of the picture during 1/60 of a second, then the other half for the other 1/60 of a second. If you freeze the image with SS v5, what you are looking at is only half the picture. You will notice if you do it several times that the two images are slightly different from one another. Try it and see. The "net effect" when you alternate the two pictures ever 1/60 of a second is that it "looks" like there is more resolution. This is interlacing. -- begin 644 .signature H5&AI
