Scan lines in the rip.....any help would be good

[Spinal_Core]

I just ripped Fast and the furious to svcd and I get scan lines while it plays. I'm sure I won't notice them on a standalong player but unfortunally I don't have one. it really bugs because the quality is pretty good but the damn scans ruin everything
I've used Safey's tutorial for newbies, SmartRipper > DVD2AVI > TEMPGenc

have no idea how to fix it or why it's happening, help would be greately apreciated

thanx

i'm guessing you me interlacing artifacts or horizontal lines......

while Sefy may tell you different. however, i've personally ripped Fast and the Furious and i believe it's either 100% FILM or close to it. so, turning off forced film in dvd2avi and making the video output interlaced, rather than 3:2 pulldown prolly wouldn't be that good of an idea in this case

so basically, just stick to using forced film in dvd2avi and enable the de-interlaced filter. the best i believe is either double (adaptive) or blend (adaptive) depending on which version of tmpgenc you have.

btw...can you describe which scenes you see those lines...cuz i didn't see any when i was quickly browsing my rip.....?

enable software bob in your dvdplayer. 3:2 pulldown will reintroduce interlacing artifacts same as the original dvd

poopyhead, why are you speaking for me ? I wouldn't get involved in something I don't know, I don't even use Force Film, all my movies are in NTSC or PAL standards, not a single one is Film, and I have no problems, but I don't force my opinion or the way I do things on anyone else.

So regarding the "while Sefy..", I won't interfer with something I don't do, so carry on without me

ah poopyhead, thanx a lot it worked like a dream
whenever I put it on force film, the lines dissapear

thanx a great lot

[poopyhead]

heh...my bad Sefy...

i just just referring to you saying that anytime there's interlacing artifacts, there's a better way than to use the "de-interlace" feature.....and if you read my post more carefully, it says you would prolly suggest NOT using forced film in this case

[Sefy]

poopyhead, when did i ever get involved in de-interlace ?
I leave those topics for the experts in the field, the only time I got involved with something similar it would be with using or not using Film

but don't worry about it, i'll give you guys this post, I can't help around here

[poopyhead]

Sefy,

heh..i was referring to the time you helped me to encode pure NTSC dvds. i was using FORCED FILM w/ de-interlace and the video was really jumpy and unclear. you told me that i shouldn't have to use de-interlace to get rid of the lines and that i should turn off forced film.

[Sefy]

poopyhead, in that case, my apologies, when i'm wrong, I can admit i'm wrong, basicly I try to stay away from something I don't know, but in your other case, you used Force Film on a movie that was pure NTSC. in most cases when movie is jumpy, you need to change the Field Order.

Understanding Scan Lines

After viewing some of my DVD rips through Boxee, VLC and other media players I noticed the scan lines. I also noticed the problem when i converted the rips to video files (MP4, etc.). I use DVDFab to rip my library and I feared the problem might be with DVDFab and the ripping process. (The thought of ripping my entire library again gave me a horrible feeling). So I tried ripping the same DVD with DVDFab, DVD Decrypter, MacTheRipper and MacX DVD Ripper Pro. All displayed scan lines on playback through VLC.

However it turns out the problem is not with the rips (phew!!!) but with the way the software media players work. Let me repeat: the problem is not with the source DVD files but with the media players themselves.

These scan lines wont appear on a TV. The media players like VLC and Boxee will normally have an option to turn Deinterlacing On which will fix the problem. This is also the case with the DVD converter software like Handbrake. Look for a setting in the conversion process to turn on deinterlacing for the converion. Problem sorted.

Also check out this article from the Handbrake website for some further enlightenment: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/DeinterlacingGuide

Happy ripping!

Are you new to the internet? Just because the question was originally raised 9 years ago doesn't mean people don't experience this as a new problem now. This is one of the top google results for scan line queries. So dumb@ss, until this domain is closed down people will continue to see your contribution to the world. I contributed to help people. You contributed to throw an insult. Says a lot about you doesn't it. Dumb@ss
