MPEG2 and DVD Playback

[substrukt]

No matter what DVD I play or MPEG2 video I play in my computer, I get scan lines instead of good looking edges. I'm trying to rip a DVD to avi which I have no problem doing, but these scan lines get transfered over to the new avi file. Anyone have a solution for my problem?

Hi-

Anyone have a solution for my problem?

Yeah, learn how to do it right. You're encoding the full complete interlaced 29.97fps output by, probably, just dropping a VOB into an encoder. If a movie, the true framerate is 23.976fps. Either do a Force Film in DGIndex and use the resulting D2V project file in an AviSynth script for frameserving into your encoder, or make the D2V using Honor Pulldown Flags and perform an IVTC in the script. This is thoroughly explained in the documentation that accompanies the DGMPGDec package and in the docs that are included with the various AviSynth IVTCs (particularly Decomb). If the source is interlaced video, apply a deinterlacer.

Or just let AutoGK do the whole thing for you. It will first analyze the video to determine what it is and how to treat it, and then encode it properly. The result will have no interlacing.
