Ubuntu – How to set VLC for NTSC

video playervlc

I'm viewing a DVD in NTSC format. I see horizontal lines across the picture.

I live in Europe and the videos here run under PAL. Hope to see a good info to set VLC.

In the Video Settings (Menu Bar or Rightclick on playing Video) you will find Deinterlace and Deinterlace-Modus.

Under Deinterlace you should choose on.

For the Deinterlace-Modus, you should go with Movie NTSC...

If that does not help instantly, try to play around with the deinterlace settings, until you find the right one.

Have fun watching your movies!

Ubuntu – Recording a YouTube live stream using VLC

For livestreams I would recommend using livestreamer instead of VLC. Recording with livestreamer is a breeze, e.g.:

livestreamer <livestream-url> best -o vod.mp4

livestreamer supports dozens of different streaming providers and works very reliably, even with spotty streams.
