How to remove blended frames from NTSC 29.976?

[midts]

There's a 6 second long, 4 megabyte size sample attached.

So far I tried yadif and qtgmc for deinterlacing and tfm(order=0).tdecimate() and I get nice output, but there's blends on movement scenes.

srestore(23.976) or 24/25 gives skips.

Here's a result (look at the arm):


This is the result of:

QTGMC(Preset="Slow")
SelectEven()
tfm(order=0).tdecimate()

I also just noticed it has skips. No skips with Yadifmod2(order=1) tho.

Ha, looks like I solved it with srestore and yadif. Pretty sure I was getting skips with just srestore with no deinterlacers.

Anyway with default srestore and yadif I was actually getting duplicate frames, but adding mode=1 to yadif solves everything.

Final script

Yadifmod2(order=1,mode=1)
srestore(23.976)

Not sure how mode=1 was the whole game changer.

mode=1 is double frame rate: 29.97 fps interlaced to 59.94 fps progressive, like QTGMC at default settings. You (almost) always want to do that for use with SRestore(). QTGMC + SRestore should give cleaner results.
