I need help with VHS capturing

[klavz]

I recently bought a decent VHS player, DMR-ES10 for pass-through and Hauppauge USB-Live2 for connecting to laptop.
I installed AmarecTV and HuffYUV for capturing on my laptop but I came across big problem. While everything is showing correctly (I have good picture and sound), the recorded file is not okay. I can watch deinterlaced picture on preview (50p), but the file that comes from AmarecTV is always deinterlaced at 25p no matter what.
I'm confused because the output file is in fact 25i, but I can't deinterlace it to 50p, it always comes out as 25p. I also tried recording directly to Cedocida DV Codec, but same result.
Can I somehow fix this or do you maybe have some other software suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Without errors on your side, the captured file should be 50 interlaced fields per seconds, 25 frames per second. If source is telecine, the 2 fields are coming form the same moment in time, so they are not really "interlaced" but the numbers do not change.

Post a sample of your raw capture and the AmarecTV settings you use.

The source is definitely 50 fields per second and not telecine, because it was a TV broadcast. The file is indeed interlaced, but it's not deinterlaced properly at 50p.
Even when I try to convert it to interlaced H.264 or MPG, it's still 25p.

The TV boradcast of a movie is telecine.

The file is indeed interlaced, but it's not deinterlaced properly at 50p.

By who?

Post a sample and the settings

When I view the video on any media player or editing software (Premiere, Vegas), it comes out as 25p.
Here are the files.

The file is ok. You can deinterlace it with QTGMC, or set, for example, VLC to deinterlace in real-time while watching (Yadif (2x))

That's a nice capture you've there, Klavs. It is interlaced.

Your statement "When I view the video on any media player or editing software (Premiere, Vegas), it comes out as 25p." is incorrect. It's being displayed as Progressive because the player (or Premiere/Vegas, I expect) are deinterlacing it on the fly. VLC Player does it automatically (not very well, actually; you need to set the Deinterlacing to ON for best results).

The next part of the process for you is to deinterlace it (to either 25P or 50P; 50P looks smoother but the file size is bigger), denoise it, crop it, resize it and encode it into a codec that your can pass it around or watch on your TV. Lollo will give you instructions about how to do that stuff. He's a master at it.

He's a master at it.

What I won't do for sure is to tell him to resize and to single frame rate deinterlace. That's your specialty.

[Alwyn]

I never single Lollo, you know that.

[lollo]

I never single Lollo, you know that.

But you resize.

I am joking, my friend!

I "accidentally" opened the video in DScaler and it was playing without any problems.
I then used StaxRip for QTGMC deinterlacing and some corrections. I'm very satisfied with the results!
Thank you guys for all the help!

Splash is fast and has a decent built-in deinterlacer.

That's a nice capture you've there, Klavs.

I agree, Live-2 performing well! A light restoration can further improve the quaity.
