Ripping and Encoding DVD with mixture of Film and NTSC

[kmiura182]

I ripped and encoded season 1 epsiode 1 of the OZ DVD in SVCD format. The only problem is that while most of the episode is FILM, random parts (not entire scenes or anything) are NTSC. I ended up with a great file except for random parts with those scanline looking things. Is there any way to encode it better? Or am I out of luck because it's a mixture of FILM and interlaced NTSC? I've never ran into this problem before since my sources are usually just FILM or NTSC. Any help would be appreceated!

Ripped using Smartripper
Frameserved with dvd2avi. Forced FILM since most of it is FILM
Encoded with latest TMPGENC with SVCD (NTSC FILM) template

Thanks.

actually, this happens quite often....

first, what's the highest percentage of NTSC the vobs got (as shown in dvd2avi's info box)? you may hafta stare at the info box while you're running dvd2avi

if NTSC only got as high as 5%, most ppl agree it's safe to treat it as FILM...look below

ok..back to your forced film rip of OZ, during the scenes with the horizontal lines, was the video jumpy and stuttering, or did it just have lines? if it wasn't jumpy or stuttering, but only had lines, you can use the de-interlace filter in tmpgenc to remove the lines..best method to de-interlace would be double (adaptive)...it might take longer to encode because the adaptive process requires more CPU usage

now, if the scenes with the horizontal lines had jumpy and stuttering video, then it's basically acting like pure NTSC...if any part of your rip acts like NTSC, u just have to treat the entire thing as NTSC...here's wut u do:

1) disable forced film in dvd2avi
2) use NTSC template in tmpgenc (not NTSC FILM)...basically the difference is that the NTSC template makes the output video interlaced, rather than adding the 3:2 pulldown flags into your rip

Thanks poopyhead

No, the video with the horizontal lines isn't stuttering or jumpy. It just has the horizontal lines through it for about a second or so every so often. I'll try out the de-interlace filter in tmpgenc.

Ok, I just tried the de-interlace filter on a clip that had some of the horizontal lines and it fixed the problem perfectly. Thanks again poopyhead! Great advice as usual!
