Interlaced DVD

[leftspeaker2000]

Hey

I riped the movie Identity to an MKV using 0.9.5 on the High Profile, the output played very well on my astone ap300 media player untill i got to about two or three sections of the movie in which seemed to play very slow ie a reduced frame rate. I went back to my rip and played it using VLC and it seems to play fine so i went back to VOB for the movie and the sections in which are playing slow seem to be interlaced, which is weird considering the rest of the movie is not like this. When i encoded the movie i didant have any deinterlacing on although it does not appear any interlacing translated into my mkv. Does anyone have any idea or any comments on my situation ?

It's not uncommon for VOB files to switch between interlaced and progressive encoding. Just because a video is encoded interlaced doesn't mean it will have comb artifacts (you can encode progressive frames as if they are interlaced -- think of any still shot in an interlaced video -- there are no comb artifacts). Your encoder probably assumed the entire video was progressive (since it started out that way) and just screwed up when it hit the interlaced parts.

Hey thanks for your reply i ran deinterlace on the vob and i will test the new mkv tommorow when i get the time to see if the problem still exists.
