Jagged Edge Of Video Picture

[kenryuakuma]

Well, I am encoding a Chinese series...However as you can see, the picture below contains jagged edge. I am just wondering if there is a way to fix it. Hope somebody could help me out. Is there a script that could get rid of it.

The bad thing about this video is that it is progressive instead of interlace.

You can improve it by using an antialiasing filter. Avisynth has about a dozen or so, try a few out, some work better on certain material

Santiag(2,2)

Awesome pal...With just a bit of script...The vid looks completely different. If I have any more questions, I will let ya know. Hope that won't bother ya.

The problem is that an interlaced video was captured, one field thrown away, and the remaining field duplicated to fill in. You could also use:

WhateverSource()
PointResize(width, height/2)
BicubicResize(width, height*2) #or whatever resizer you want

Another option is nnedi3():

WhateverSource()
Nnedi3(1)

Or:

WhateverSource()
PointResize(width, height/2)
Nnedi3_rpow2(rfactor=2, cshift="BilinearResize", fwidth=width, fheight=height*2)
