Deinterlacing

[bubbamagic87]

What is a program i can use to deinterlace my vob files that im converting to mpg for use on my comp? Im told that having interlaced video causes problems on progressive scan monitors (which i have). So to view them correctly on my pc i need to deinterlace. I tried TMPGEnc, but it created more problems deinterlacing then the ones already there

Better use software dvd player - it will deinterlace on-the-fly - such as PowerDVD.

ding, ding, ding - we have a winner

[Abond]

Huh?

[bubbamagic87]

I want to have the choice on which player i use (WMP, WinAMP...)

And i think my version of powerDVD only reads DVDs no files.

[VCDHunter]

Huh?

You answered the question correctly

Friends don't let friends deinterlace

So there is no fail proof way to deinterlace?

Not really but you could try ...

I'm sure it will make sense to you all

Does doubling the frame rate fix this problem?

[bubbamagic87]

If software dvd players can deinterlace on the fly there must be a program that will deinterlace it for me with out looking bad (compared to watching it on a software dvd player).

[lordsmurf]

If you don't see it at one of those two sites, the answer is "no" pretty much.

Is there a program that will open my mpg files in separate fields for use in virtualdub?

I know of Avisynth for avi files but i have vob or mpeg files.

If it is MPEG-2 VOB or MPEG then you can run it through DVD2AVI to get a D2V project file which you can then load in AviSynth ... then open the AviSynth AVS script in VirtualDub.

But back to the original question I guess ... what format are you targeting? For instance DivX or Xvid or SVCD or DVD etc.

Ah. And the winner is prized...

My final format that i want it to be in is .mpg.

[gshelley61]

PowerDVD and other software players deinterlace .mpg during playback. There's little to be gained from deinterlacing the original video file except maybe winding up with a softer, less detailed image.

Rename .vob -> .mpg. Done!

That does not work. You have NAV info, and possible multi-audio streams, subs, etc.

I want to deinterlace because the only place im going to watch this is on my comp using some player like WMP or WinAMP. I want it to look just like it does when i play the dvd in PowerDVD. Is there a way to use the same deinterlacer as it does (unless there is a better one).

The 100fps site helped me out alot but the files they were deinterlacing were AVI and i have .vob or .mpg. So are there any tutorial out there that can help me with the mpg files or a program like AVIsynth but for mpg files that will allow me to open my videos different fields into VirtualDUB.

[lordsmurf]

Same rules apply, no matter file type.

[FulciLives]

Run the MPEG-2 or VOB files through DVD2AVI to get a D2V project file. This can now be loaded into an AviSynth script.

The AviSynth script can be loaded into VirtualDubMod and you can then do what they tell you to do at 100fps.com

Is it correct that de-interlacing a movie (film) DVD will have good results (since the original was "progressive") while de-interlacing TV series and the like will not succeed because the original is Video recorded (interlaced)?

All my attempts to de-interlace, back a year a go, have practically failed. Any de-interlaced video I've made play worse on the PC and is practicaly unviewable on TV.

What I have come to suspect is that if the video file is interlaced with Top Field first then s/w players play it fine. If it is bottom field first, then s/w players on the PC generate a combing effect (probably because they assume the file to be TTF).

Do you believe I am correct - or am I just saying nonsense?

[lordsmurf]

Maybe nonsense. The program does the same no matter what.

I tried to get DVD2AVI to work on my vob files but it only makes a 1 to 3kb file when i save it as AVI what am i doing wrong?

I said make a D2V project file not an AVI.

I mean you even quoted me so what gives!

[bubbamagic87]

LOL. sorry i got it working.

[bubbamagic87]

Ok i got it into virtualDub and tried all the things it said to do in 100fps.com but i cant get rid of the bobbing. The only one that kinda workes is the field bob in virtualdub but that still has alittle bobbing when im done.

Is there a deinterlacer like the ones used in powerDVD?

The only thing i found to actually work is removing every other frame.

Did you try Avisynth BOB() method?
