Problems with interlaced video and DVD-R

[KillerLoop]

I'm trying to burn on DVD-R a video track extracted with 0sex from a DVD video. I have tryed almost any kind of setting on ffmpeg, dvision, afropic, ecc. but I ALWAYS get interlaced noise (horizontal bars in fast moving scenes) when I try to burn with DVD studio pro e read it on TV DVD.

I have uploaded the video track I can't work with on my site.

If anyone could help..

I have the same problem with video recorded on a Hitachi DVD-RAM camcorder. (The footage is recorded as MPEG-2.)

Combing galore. Looks not too bad when played back with an interlaced system, but it is terrible in progressive scan mode.

I'd be interested in any insight.

I had this exact same problem with ripping to a svcd. The only real fix I found was using the deinterlace option in Afropic. Mediapipe supposedly can also do this but i never got it to work. Interlacing is the problem, hopefully KaiCherry & Bilestyle's new GUI will have this option built in.

What are your settings? For DVD, I'm trying:

Auto Size: NTSC DVD 720x480
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Frame Rate: 29.97
Denoise: Unchecked (Slow)
Deinterlace: Checked
Change Interlacing: Unchecked
Progressive Deinterlacing

It takes quite a mod amt of time (GHz TiBook), but the video quality ain't so great. At least it's deinterlaced.

These are the settings I used for SVCD.
Check VBR box, set to 1, Quantisisation redux set to 1, motion radius 20.
Reuction factor= 2X2 set to 1, 4X4 set to 1, GOP min 8, max at 16.
High Quality Filter set to maintain. Now this should produce a high quality product, but take forever. So feel free to mess with some of them.

Hmmm... I might see some improvement on stuff coming off my MPEG-2 DVD-RAM camcorder, but using the original poster's file, the image quality is always significantly degraded.

What do all the settings mean? What do you set up for your Decoding tab?

I've tried various permutations similar to this:

Decoding:
Auto Size NTSC DVD
Aspect Ratio 4:3
Frame Rate 29.97
Denoise unchecked
Deinterlace checked
Change interlacing unchecked

Encoding:
Stream Type MPEG-2
Bitrate 8000
Interlace mode Progressive
VBR checked 1
Quantisation Reduction 1
Motion Radius 20
Mutithreading 1
Video buffer 230
Reduction factor 2x2 1, 4x4 1
Verbosity 1
Enable 3:2 pulldown checked
Header at every GOP checked Min 8 Max 16.
High Quality Filter Maintain
