Problems with frame sequence

[naoto89]

I'm trying to encode an anime series from R1 DVDs (see VOB fragment). According to the DGindex results, the DVDs are "100% VIDEO", except for 4 episodes that apparently had a bad transfer and that is why the indexing result is "72.02% VIDEO".

I noticed a problem when playback the encoded video and it's most noticeable in panning scenes where there are 2 or 3 previous frames that repeat themselves, causing an incorrect frame sequence. I saw an encode made by someone else, it's the same anime series and its source was the same DVD R1 but it doesn't have that problem. What AviSynth filter should be used to correct it?

My AVS script for each episode looks something like this.

LWLibavVideoSource("MNTWDVD_15.VOB", cachefile="MNTWDVD_15.VOB.lwi")
A=Last.Trim(0,38099).TFM().TDecimate().Spline36Resize(640,480, 6,0,-6,0)
B=Last.Trim(38100,39026).TFM().TDecimate().Spline36Resize(640,480, 4,0,-4,0)
A+B

Use DGIndex to build an index file then Mpeg2source() to read the video.

Mpeg2Source("MNTWDVD_15.d2v", CPU2="ooooxx", Info=3) 
TFM(d2v="MNTWDVD_15.d2v") 
TDecimate()

Also note that some shots are 30p not 24p. For example the zoom shot that starts about 65 seconds into the clip.

I don't remember where it was and when, but someone made a comment about DGindex saying that it's a very outdated tool and makes errors, that's why another plugin was used to load the video. A while ago I had trouble encoding a TS I loaded with MPEG2Source after open it in DGindex but ended up using LwlibavvideoSource instead. Should I remux to MKV instead of using the VOB container?

MPEG2Source is the best source filter for DVDs. Some might say that DVDs themselves are outdated.

Not unless you want to make even more trouble for yourself. Follow jagabo's advice.

And if the SD source is from a Blu-ray. Would I have to use DGIndexNV/DGAVCIndex to index it and use its respective source filter? The answer may seem obvious, but as I said, I don't remember who the person was who made that comment about those tools, I thought there was another way and efficient to handle container sources (TS, VOB, MKV) that have video streams in MPEG format.

I was just saying that because I ripped DVDs with DVD Decrypter instead of using MakeMKV, I was wondering which of those 2 programs would work better

With mixed hard/soft telecined content be sure to use Honor Pulldown Flags mode in DgIndex.

Only if that Blu-Ray video codec is MPEG.

Between the two, always DVD Decrypter.

No. DGIndex doesn't always work correctly with MPEG2 video in MKV. When you have MPEG2 in MKV you should remux it to VOB or MPG first. Then work with the VOB/MPG.

SD blu ray might be MPEG2 , AVC or VC1 . DGIndex /MPEG2Source only works on MPEG2

DGIndexNV/DGSource would work for all of them, and in any common container format such as the ones listed if you have a compatible Nvidia card

DGAVCIndex is depreciated and broken for many AVC streams. Don't use it
