Blended Fields (PAL)

[Amaze]

need some suggestion to the proper way to deinterlace this movie.

Clip

please confirm that your suggestion works before suggesting it. I have tried a few without success. namely:

fielddeinterlace(blend=false)


restore24()


leakkerneldeint(order=1,threshold=8)


leakkernelbob(order=1)
repal()


I may have tried some others that I forget right now. please help!

FYI - For those curious about the clip, it is a 25.1MB download.

What is the ultimate goal of this exercise ? What format will the new progressive version be encoded to ?

[Amaze]

the ultimate goal is to make a copy. xvid avi.

[guns1inger]

use AutoGK and let it take care of all this for you

[Amaze]

oh yeah? you tried it and it gave good results?

[guns1inger]

It is the recommended software around here for conversion to Xvid. I don't use it simply because I don't have a need to convert to Xvid.

Nothing to lose by giving it a test run in a short clip. Use your demo clip to find out.

[Amaze]

not an awful result, but like the others it leaves a jerky playback

[guns1inger]

Are you sure it is the deinterlacing that is causing this ?

Jerky playback can also come from incorrectly changing framerates or formats, or having the wrong field order.

[Amaze]

field order is correct

In AVISynth

LeakKernelBob(Order=1)
Decimate(cycle=2)

wasn't too bad. Unfortunately the source is in pretty poor condition (partially blended fields) so the result has some ghosting.

There is a filter called RePAL that can remove a lot of that ghosting but it assumes the source is a partially blended PAL->NTSC conversion. So it won't work properly with your source.

[Amaze]

ok, I will give this a try. thanks

edit:

gave pretty much the same result as my previous best. not good enough to keep as a copy.
why do they have to make things so hard? damnit.
