Yes, QTGMC is one of the best deinterlacers out there. My only point is that regardless of the algorithm, and regardless of how many fields are adjusted, the new fields are always going to be approximations of what they would be if the video had been 60p instead of 60i (or 50p/50i for PAL). There will be artifacts. How bad and how many is a function of the nature of your video, the deinterlacing tools chosen, and your skill in using them (there is no "set it, and forget it" setting when deinterlacing).

However, since I've made this point more than a few times before (in other threads), I won't go into it any further. I'll try to see if there is a way to salvage something, once the attachment's to the OP's #1 post are approved.
