QTGMC doesn't deinterlace

[pub]

I have a PAL DVD boxset of The A-Team I want to convert into anamorphic x264. The DVDs are flagged Interlaced but they show no interlace fragments, except for about 5 minutes on episode 15 from season 2. I tried deinterlacing with QTGMC but the result is almost identical to the original. With the Handbrake Bob Decomb setting it get's watchable, but it's still very noticable it has been deinterlaced due to unsmooth edges. Is there any way I can deinterlace it with QTGMC or is there something wrong with the master from Universal?

QTGMC .avs file:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\masktools2-25.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\dgmpgdec158\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\decomb\Decomb.dll")
Import("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\QTGMC-3.32.avsi")
MPEG2Source("C:\VIDEO_TS\qtgmc\title03_track1_eng.d2v")
QTGMC( Preset="Very Slow" )
Crop(2,4,-2,-4)
AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEvery(4,0,3).Weave()

QTGMC commandline:

x264.exe --profile high --preset veryslow --crf 19 --sar=764:716 --output output.mkv test.avs

Handbrake Settings:

Anamorphic: Custom
Width: 716
Height: 568
Display Width: 764
Cropping: Custom - L2, T4, R4, B2
Modulus: 2
Deinterlace: Decomb, Bob
Framerate: 23.976 - Constant
Quality: CRF 19
x264 Preset: Very Slow
Profile and Level: Auto

Original:


QTGMC (Very Slow-setting):


Handbrake (Bob Decomb-setting):



I've included 3 video's. They are slowed down to match their original framerate (25->23.976). If I encode everything in 25FPS, everything looks just the same.

QTGMC( Preset="Very Slow" )
...
AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEvery(4,0,3).Weave()

Not surprising that it does not work. The last line in your script re-interlaces the video that you previously de-interlaced with QTGMC.

I think I googled wrong then. What line should I use to get 25fps instead of 50fps? SelectEven()?

Yes.

Or you can have QTGMC() decimate to the source frame rate with QTGMC(FPSDivisor=2).

But your source isn't really interlaced, it's progressive frames captured out of phase. Use TFM() instead of QTGMC().

That did it, thanks!
