Deinterlace filter for mencoder pp=lb not giving me what I need

[M3mbr4n3]

Hello all,

I'm trying to convert my DVB caps to avi with mencoder.

I have an interlaced source so obviously I want to deinterlace it..




I'm using this part of command line

mencoder.exe %1 -field-dominance -1 -vf crop=%2,pp=lb,spp,scale=640:352


But as you can see in the screenshot it is not deinterlaced properly..


I tried yadif=0, yadif=1 but that doesn't give me good results either..

Any advice?

Try pp=ci or li

[intracube]

mencoder.exe %1 -field-dominance -1 -vf crop=%2,pp=lb,spp,scale=640:352

What are the %1 and %2 for? Are they variables so the filename and crop factor can be substituted in?

It's important to organise de-interlacing filters so they're first (on the far left of the filter chain) - using filters like cropping, scaling and blurring first can damage/screw up the interlacing and make it impossible for the de-interlacing filters to do their job.

Having said that, I would've thought that the only side effect of using the crop filter first might be a field order reversal.

Anyway, you might want to try something like:
mencoder.exe %1 -vf yadif=0,crop=%2,scale=640:352
(I'd try without the field-dominance option first)
