MENCODER: How to discard deinterlace??

[RogerTango]

I am wanting to do a discard deinterlace, akin to what VLC can do by using Video-> Deinterlace -> Discard

The results are EXACTLY what I want to do with Mencoder, however I do not have enough technical knowledge with the terminology detailing Mencoder's switches to determine how it is done.

The source video is MTS files (AVCHD) from my JVC HD camcorder, and is 60fps interlaced material.

Thanks much!
Andrew

I GOT IT! Mencoder is POWERFUL MOJO!

mencoder -ovc lavc -of avi -ffourcc divx -lavcopts vcodec=libxvid:vbitrate=8000:aspect=16/9 -nosound -mc 0 -ofps 30000/1001 -fps 60000/1001  -vf pp=fd,scale=1280:720 -o "output.avi" "input.mts"

The trick is to not use -noskip and add pp=fd to the -vf section, which is from what I can tell FrameDeinterlace.

Now there is NO BLURING what so ever, every frame looks like a Kodak moment.

HTH,
Andrew
