You may know that traditional video and television was (is) transmitted and then for many years recorded (and edited) as an Interlace signal, that is two separate fields that make up one frame of video. Many of the newer flat-screen monitors don't play interlace video well at all, and computer monitors don't do interlace well either - which means all those internet delivered videos don't look as good as they might when they're in the Interlace format.
That's why I continue to recommend de-interlaced (or decombed) video for these increasingly popular delivery and display methods. Here's a helpful short video on the Videomaker website that provides a definition of the problem and an explanation of the 3 most common methods to deal with the issue: How to Deinterlace Footage
