I say the source is interlace 29.970 because playback on my PC, I notice these lines across the screen as the individuals moved. Mediainfo also says the original VOB file is 29.970. I also want to deinterlace because I don't like seeing the lines on my ipad during playback.
Do I need to change the encoding FPS from 29.970 to 59.94 by adding -r 60000/1001 to the beginning of the code when I deinterlace? If the source is 23.976 (fps=24/1001), should I add -r 50000/1001 to the beginning of the code when I deinterlace?
After I encoded the vob file to an mp4 file, mediainfo shows the following:
vob: 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS
mp4: 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS, constant framerate mode, progressive
I thought I read somewhere where you're supposed to increase the FPS when deinterlacing to get "proper" progressive. Secondly, what about the -vf yadif part, should I have written it like -vf yadif(x2) or something?
Just for the sake of completion, the code/.bat file worked. The video is deinterlaced, it plays back fine, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Should I add in -r 60000/1001 and -vf yadif(x2)?
Side Note: I followed the instructions in this video to create a .bat file. All I have to do is have copy this .bat file into the folder with videos that I want to convert, double click on the .bat file and it'll start the ffmpeg cmd conversion. Very simple.

The following are .bat files where I double click on them and they batch encode all video files that I have in the folder. Makes things easier.

If you have lines on playback, simply enable "deinterlacing" in your media player. No need to change the video itself.
-
I understand I could do that with VLC, but I simply prefer to deinterlace so I don't have to worry about it. I'm keeping the original VOB, but encoding the video to a smaller size for playback on my 12.9 ipad which only has a maximum capacity of 512GB.Originally Posted by johnmeyer

I think it's "-vf yadif=1" or "-vf yadif=mode=1" to get double frame rate.

IVTC? I guess I'll need to do some internet/forum search to see what that's all about. I thought all deinterlacing method were universal (i.e. just pick one and go with it -- that's kind of what i thought initially).
I've got Seinfeld, Will and Grace, Frasier, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond that I can recall off the top of my head that I would like to encode to smaller file size.

Not reliably ; it just tells you metadata or how it was encoded or stored. It does not necessarily tell you anything accurate about the actual contentOriginally Posted by strawberryshortcake
Knowing what the source genre is will usually provide clues on what it will be most likelyBasically is there a flow chart of sort to determine what causes the interlace and from there use ___ such and such technique?

Basically dramas, films, theatrical series will be shot on film or film equivalents . They are actually progressive content. Only because of DVD standards or some types of broadcast, do they need to be stored and transmitted in an interlaced format . IVTC means inverse telecine . Basically you're reversing that process to recover the original progressive frames
You don't want to deinterlace progressive material, because you degrade the picture unnecessarily. It becomes more blurry and you get deinterlacing artifacts
Things like sports, soap operas, news, are often shot on video (or at least a higher sampling rate) , they have a higher chance of being interlaced if distributed on DVD -
Good to know. So do I not use yadif=1 for any of the above sitcom DVDs (frasier, friends, seinfeld, will & grace) because everyone of those episodes playback on VLC media player (using the VOB file) have "lines." I'm using the term "interlace" to describe them because that's all I know. Maybe that's not the correct term?Originally Posted by poisondeathray

So all of these I need to use the IVTC (inverse telecine) technique to remove these interlaced lines during playback. Looking back at those codes that I posted, the only one that said progressive was Frasier.
Any example of an IVTC technique command line? -
All those series will likely be progressive. Mediainfo is useless for this, because you can have progressive content encoded interlaced, or interlaced content encoded progressively. You can have pulldown cadences within interlaced or progressive encoding. All that matters is the actual content. So you have to examine the fields and use your eyes to determine what you actually have
Unfortunately , ffmpeg is *still* very unreliable for IVTCing. Much of the code is ported from avisynth - so it should work in theory - but you can get messed up frames, sometimes dropped wrong frames, and sometimes duplicated frames in the wrong position. I revisit and recheck this every few months to see if it's fixed, but ffmpeg is way too unreliable for this. There is more than one way to IVTC in ffmpeg, but none of them work well. The errors are reproducible on many sources all the time. Consistently unreliable. Just Brutal. It is that bad, no joke. I'm a huge ffmpeg fan and use it almost everyday, but this is one area that is unusable
I think the reliability with avisynth comes largely from the indexed source filter. People typically use DGIndex for mpeg2/dvd sources and it the most reliable method by far. It cannot be the field matching and decimation, because the exact code is ported from avisynth.Last edited by poisondeathray; 23rd Apr 2018 at 21:52.

So am I suppose to use DGIndex to reencode the VOB files or which reliable program do I use to 'deinterlace' those lines? What about MeGUI?Originally Posted by poisondeathray
Using DGIndex, under frame type,
Will and Grace flickers continuously between progressive and interlace
Frasier keeps saying interlace
I also get this error message when I load the MeGUI converted Will and Grace file. Maybe the program only works on original source? How do I determine the source if it's a file that has already been encoded?
-
You can check quickly to see if your exported 29.97 file was actually 23.976 "filmrate". You can open it up in vdub2 or avidemux and go frame by frame. If the rate was supposed to be 23.976, you will see every 5th frame is a duplicate . The playback will be jerky . You're also encoding 25% more frames for nothing (it's not 25% worse, temporal compression doesn't work like that , duplicate frames don't "cost" very much) .
Frametype there just tells you how it's encoded. Again, it's not confirmation of what it actually is in terms of content. But in that 2nd Will and Grace screenshot, if it's >99% film and progressive, you can probably "force film" . All this stuff is covered in other posts, there should be some guides as well
Sometimes you can have bizzare things, mixed content. IIRC Some seasons of Frazier were very tricky with aliasing
Yes you can use Megui ; it also has an "auto analysis" but it's not always correct either. -
I haven't used megui in a few years but not sure, never seen that before. Maybe it wasn't decrypted properly ?Originally Posted by strawberryshortcake

[Attachment 45335 - Click to enlarge]
You can use megui on anything, but it uses avisynth in between, so you need a script. It should create a script for you if you use it correctly
megui is not the easiest to use, but there should be step by step guides out there -

That 99.34% film and "progressive" encoding screenshot of W&G is the 1 case where you can be reasonably sure automatically, because it's soft pulldown. This means it's encoded progressive, and "flags" signal repeat fields to output 29.97 interlaced. But it's actually progressive content, and progressive encoding.
The other ones that say "interlaced" are likely progressive content, but interlaced encoding - that's known as "hard telecine" because the actual field repeats are hard coded or actually encoded
I use avisynth. For mpeg2 sources , like DVD, dgindex.I'll be running around the internet to read about IVTC, but in the meantime, what program do you use to IVTC? -
Just post samples of them, 10 seconds with steady motion taken from the body of the episodes (not intros), perhaps M2Vs demuxed using DGIndex. You don't know how to interpret what you're seeing. Rather than pdr trying to explain it to you, and you getting it wrong, untouched samples will be much more valuable.Originally Posted by strawberryshortcake

Maybe I'm not doing the test correct, but I simply loaded each video VOB file into Avidemux, use the right arrow on the keyboard (or the blue arrow, next frame). I tried it at zero, then went to 29 seconds, etc.

Am I suppose to be looking/using those .... just using the right next frame arrow for many frames in a row and nothing is duplicated.

Geez, it says you're in the US so I can only assume English is your first language. Did anyone say anything at all about YouTube? Please upload the M2V you got from DGIndex here. To this site. There's an upload button. And 10-15 well chosen seconds will be plenty. Two minutes is neither wanted nor needed.
Move the DGIndex slider to an appropriate start place and hit '['. Move the slider further along and hit ']'. Go File->Save Project File and Demux Video. Upload the resulting M2V file here.
Edit: The Fraser YouTube video has duplicate frames every 5th frame. From that we know it was shot on film. What we can't learn is if it's soft or hard telecine. Which it is determines how it's to be treated. Hard telecine has the 3:2 pulldown encoded into the video and is encoded as interlaced 29.97fps. Soft telecine has the 3:2 pulldown added as flags telling the DVD player how to display the fields and is encoded as progressive 23.976fps. There's a big difference there and a YouTube version is worse than useless in telling which it is.Last edited by manono; 24th Apr 2018 at 01:20.

A couple more, probably not necessary, but Frasier supposedly is "different" from what I may have read.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Thank you. The first one - Frasier S01E01 NEXTTEST.demuxed.m2v - is hard telecine and just needs an easy IVTC:
TFM().TDecimate()
That's from TIVTC. I couldn't tell you if you can IVTC in ffmpeg as I don't (and won't) use it. If you're serious about your video encoding hobby, in my opinion it's in your best interests to learn your way around AviSynth.
I noticed from the YouTube one that the intro is real 29.97fps. I don't know if it's pure interlace or progressive (probably the former). In any event, the part where the buildings are drawn will be slightly jerky. It's very short and, in my opinion, doesn't matter. I would make my D2V file in DGIndex using 'Honor Pulldown Flags' and then IVTC it in an AviSynth script. Maybe others have other suggestions. If the goal is to make another DVD, then there's other solutions that can keep the 29.97fps parts as 29.97 and the 23.976fps parts as 23.976.
Now to check the others... -
Will And Grace was shot on film and isn't hard telecined. However, it was edited as video and that presents problems. I'd make the D2V using 'Honor Pulldown Flags' and make the script like this:
TFM(D2V="Will & Grace S1 D1 Ep2 - A New Lease on Life NEXTEST.demuxed.d2v").TDecimate
That allows TIVTC to treat the soft telecined parts as film (no IVTC needed) and just IVTC's the video portions. It's not a bad way to handle everything as, unless the bottom of the D2V file shows as 100% FILM, and you can Forced Film it in DGIndex and get an immediate progressive 23.976fps video file with no need of an IVTC, you might be better off doing it this way. The D2V setting is thoroughly explained in the docs included with TIVTC.
Seinfeld was shot on film and hard telecined, like Frazier. It needs a full IVTC to return the original progressive 23.976fps frames.
Friends, same thing, hard telecine.
Note that none of these get deinterlaced (except for some orphaned fields and any intros that might be pure interlaced 29.97fps). The fields are reassembled into their frames and the duplicate frames are removed. As pdr mentioned earlier, you do not want to blindly deinterlace when it's not necessary. However good the deinterlacer is, it's still not as good as getting back the original progressive frames. -

I tried to install it but coming up with an error message. I simply aborted the installation process.
The following Windows System folder has AviSynth.dll present. How I came upon this was googling the error message
windows\system32\avisynth.dll forum issues
xtrill user of videohelp mentioned deleting the AviSynth.dll file. Instead of deleting I simply moved it to the desktop. I didn't want to mess anything up. But the installation process still prompted the error message.

I can open avsPmod, does that mean I already have avisynth installed? Youtube tutorial is few and far between for beginners when it comes to Avisynth.
I've got to go to bed soon/ like now. But I'll be back.
EDIT: I also downloaded the TIVTC file all the way at the bottom. Unzipped but not really sure what to do. Basically trying to figure out how to even start using avisynth. Is it a program like handbrake, megui, or ffmpeg typing command lines.

If your avisynth is installed correctly, just extract tivtc.dll to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins".
To answer your question, Avisynth is a frameserver program that is controlled by scripting. Think of it like program that's doing something in the background and you feed output of that to some other program for encoding. It doesn't have its own GUI but you can use avsPmod that you mentioned as an editor and to preview the avs output. On the first page of the official site, there's section that explains the basics, it's not that hard.
And don't mind if someone is a little impatient with you, guys like manono, poisondeathray, jagabo are very knowledgeable users that helped many people for many years and they probably answered this particular topic ("how to deinterlace DVD") probably hundreds if not thousands of times so it's a little tiresome for them to repeat common knowledge for the nth time. Everything is already answered here about DVD and IVTC many many times.
