They've got a working capture setup, decent footage, and then they hit Hybrid or Avisynth and shut down completely.

My initial attempt to help the community has to create a Hybrid for Beginners video on YouTube, showing the most basic but required steps.

My new attempt to help is the VCG Deinterlacer Windows application.


[Attachment 92022 - Click to enlarge]

It's a Windows wizard-style application built for people with a capture device (a USB capture stick, a DV-25 camcorder) who need to handle the core post-capture workflow. It wraps QTGMC, the industry-standard motion-compensated deinterlacer, along with several other VapourSynth filters, behind a step-by-step interface. It's the software I wish had existed when I got back into video capture a few years ago.

What it does:

• Deinterlaces using QTGMC, configured conservatively to preserve analog character without over-sharpening
• Automatically crops switching noise from the bottom (and edges where applicable)
• Optional temporal denoising via SMDegrain (light or heavy)
• Optional upscale to HD resolutions using NNEDI3 -- useful because YouTube compresses HD uploads better than SD, so your final video actually looks cleaner online
• NTSC and PAL support with correct pixel aspect ratio handling
• Batch processing, drag and drop, no installer required

Advanced Options (all optional):

• Y/C Delay correction, Color Cast correction, Levels adjustment, mono-to-stereo audio mix
• Output formats: ProRes HQ, H.264, FFV1
• On first launch it downloads and installs FFmpeg and VapourSynth automatically (about 136 MB). Nothing else to configure.

I want to be clear about scope. This is not a replacement for Hybrid. If you need dehalo, advanced color grading, custom filter chains, or anything beyond the standard analog tape workflow, use Hybrid. I still do. VCG Deinterlacer covers the most important steps for the typical newcomer with SD or DV footage and gets them to a clean output without a steep learning curve.

I test every release on a secondary Windows machine to make sure it runs cleanly on a system other than my own development setup. That said, bugs are still possible. If you run into anything, please leave a note on the GitHub releases page or reply here.

Does it matter which? My thinking is the DAR flag as it will cause less 'disruption' to the original file... ]]> Video Conversion pooksahib https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420417-4-3-picture-in-a-16-9-frame https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420402-My-DVDs-to-diinterlace-x265-%28placebo-like%29?goto=newpost Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:55:59 GMT Hello,

i had a few DVDs, ripped all on an SSD, that i kept one audio language (French), except for Thriller in dual eng/swe with fr sub.

It's 576p PAL DvDs, except Thriller and Girlfight (480p is in sample filename). Girlfight is 4:3 (full image) the 16:9 BluRay/HdtV is crappy (proof, A-R not set).


A-R has to be managed by media player, a lot of the rendered DvDs i have output wrongly ! SShots of the A-R's:

I made 10 minutes samples of each too (when a serie, first episode) using direct steream copy, MediaInfo in txt aside:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1e25nKmFb92agbQio7th43SJR1WW3DANC?usp=drive_link

How do i manage to encode all this stuff correctly, i'd like to get rid of the MPeg2 originals but want perfect copies, even if size is same idc.

I'll use x265, deinterlace (decomb for 480p) and fix aspecxt ratio (LoL).

Help :p

MakeMKV, StaxRip, VidCoder/HandBrake, or even MeGUI are my tools.......

But the MediaInfo on some of these show framerates of 50fps. I know for a fact that most British video is 25 fps. And I've seen some annoying frame jumping in these upscale so-called 1080p versions. Can this be legitimately considered making the content worse for introduction of those artifacts ?
