Fixing Scaled Interlaced Commercial

[AstroSeedP]

I'm trying to fix the interlacing in this commercial and I'm certain it's been scaled.



I tried downscaling it to 480p before deinterlacing it and it seems to have helped, but I still have some artifacts.



Should I try a different resolution or is there a better solution to this?

If you're into AVISynth, have a go with PoisonDeathRay's script here:

I tried it on your video and it cleared up the jaggies (every 4 fields in 10, by the looks), which seem to be burned in (open in Vdub, Deinterlace Yadif Double Rate BFF and step through).

I set the Spline64resize at the end back to 1280x720. It looks a bit softer (and the dog's head-swivel is a bit messy), better than it was though.

The PDR script I used (video only):

LWLibavVideoSource("D:\VideoHelp\AstroseedP\Sonic꞉ 'Boom' [Vimeo].mp4")
ConvertToYV16()
Spline16Resize(400,300)
santiagmod(3,3)
QTGMC(inputtype=2)
Spline64Resize(1280,720)
