  1. Hey all. I recently lost my entire kodi media library of a few hundred films and tv shows to a spectacular hard drive malfunction (it blew up... don't ask) so I got myself a new drive and I'm back to redoing the entire library again from scratch. Most of my content is 1080p so nothing difficult about that, but I have a handful of dvd's (both pal and ntsc), mainly tv shows that have the tell tale interlacing lines. I put most of them through handbrake using deinterlace set to decomb with default preset and default detection and using same as source frame rate. For all but one tv show this works fine, the resulting videos I got were all deinterlaced to a nice dgeree and ran relatively smooth. I know from looking through this forum a lot of you pros seem to consider handbrake to be a pile of wank when it comes to deinterlacing videos, and I do have avisynth with a load of plugins instealled if needs must.

    The one PAL dvd I was never happy with I put thru handbrake in the same way as the others (same as source frame rate, decomb on default preset and default interlace detection), but the result is the video is slightly jerky in motion in some areas (barely noticeable admittedly but it is there).

  2. Where's the sample cut from the DVD?

  3. If you want to use Handbrake set it to use Yadif + Bob. Then set the frame rate to 50 fps. That's about the best you'll get from the program. Better results can be had with AviSynth but we'll have to see a sample (not reencoded).

    selur's Hybrid is far better for this task.
    It uses Vapoursynth or Avisynth and QTGMC, all options available.
