How does DGIndex deal with interlaced content?

[Inventive Software]

Since I've started ripping DVDs, I've become more acute to interlaced content, and the ways of dealing with them. This is especially apparant with concert DVDs, as I have 2 that are interlaced. Previously I've dealt with them by using Neuron2's Decomb filter pack, adding "AssumeTFF()" and "FieldDeinterlace()" to the AviSynth script, and that's solved the serious interlace/combing issues for the most part. However, there's a DVD of mine that has interlacing artefacts that are not immediately apparant, however there are some flashing images that bring out the interlacing quite noticably. What I'm wondering is how DGIndex deals with interlaced content. Before I started to care about interlaced stuff, I'd just let DGIndex do it's thing, correct the field order if necessary (but only with recent DVDs as it's only been around for a few months) and accept that combing artefacts are there because they're there. The DVD in question is one I'm not willing to post screenies of because of decency laws that'd mean I'd probably be struck (you know the sort I mean!;)) I tried applying the decombing filter mentioned previously, and changing the strength to stop it bleeding (I think that's what it is), however it doesn't seem to work. DGIndex states that the DVD is interlaced, but I don't know what to do about it. Suggestions?

What I'm wondering is how DGIndex deals with interlaced content. The only thing DGIndex does is honor or not honor pulldown. Your content is likely pure interlaced material and so you should use "Honor Pulldown Flags" and do any required deinterlacing in Avisynth.

The DVD in question is one I'm not willing to post screenies of because of decency laws that'd mean I'd probably be struck (you know the sort I mean!;)) You can upload an unprocessed VOB fragment to my FTP site and I will try to help you with it. If you want to do that, PM me for the password.

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)

There's more than one sort of deinterlacing unfortunately. There are a number of ways to tell them apart but I've grown exceedingly fond of MeGUI's interlace analyser & suggestion mechanism. You input a d2v and out pops an analysis and suggestion for best deinterlacer. nifty!

That sounds really interesting, where do I fint this feature? tools menu?:o

it's part of the avisynth creator dialog

That did the job very nicely. Thanks neuron2!
