What is with all the lines in my video?

[scottoinkingsburg]

Hello. Here is my problem. I am working on this video and DVD Shrink did not work. So then I used Smart Ripper and ripped a copy to my hard drive. The I used DVD2AVI to make my .d2v template for tmpeg encoder. Anyways I ran it back through TMEG encoder as a MPEG-2 file 16:9 screen format with no problems, and then authored it with Ulead DVD Movie Facotry. When I watched it on the TV the screen was nice and crisp, the 16:9 aspect ratio workd perfectly, but when there was fast motion there was some lines that looked like interlacing lines. I know they were not interlacing lines due to the fact that the source video was progressive scan. And I had the interlacing turned off in TMPEG Encoder. I remember reading about this in a forum not too long ago, but forgot the solution to the problem. Could the problem be something I did or did not do in DVD2AVI or TMPEG Encoder? One thing on my mind at the moment is that I ran is at 29.97 FPS in DVD2AVI and not 23.97. Could this make this effect? Please help!

When you're on the TMPGEnc step again, try Settings=>Advanced Tab=>Inverse Telecining.

What settings did you use in DVD2AVI? In other words did you use Force Film or not?

If the DVD truely is progressive then you can use Force Film and you get a 23.976fps D2V source.

However not all DVD content is truely 100% progressive so you need to NOT use Force Film thus giving you a 29.970fps D2V source.

So maybe you need to run the VOB files through DVD2AVI again and check your source.

Run the preview and watch the video type and see if it is video or film or whatever.
