Combing that wont go away!

[mahsah]

Well, I was gifted The Complete Monty Python's flying circus for Christmas, and have been trying to back them up to mpeg4 with meGUI and avisynth.

However, I cannot seem to get rid of all the combing in the encoded videos.

For example, this is with fielddeinterlace() in the avisynth script:

Using meguis avisynth script maker (which autodetects pulldown) produces the same output.

Anyone have an idea about how to get rid of this combing? It is only noticible in sudden motion (after the deinterlacing/pulldown).

Thanks.

Post a link to a short unprocessed clip of a problematic section of your video. Also post the AVS script you are using.

Alright, here is a clip (unfiltered, just cut with vdub and compressed with xvid):

Sorry, but as I clearly said, I need *unprocessed* source, not transcoded. Use DGIndex to set a range, demux the video, and then post the M2V file that results.

The problem with your method is that I cannot see the RFF flags in the original MPEG, not to mention I don't know how you decoded the MPEG to make the AVI.

And I don't see your AVS script either.

OK, sorry, I don't know much about pulldown....

Here is the link to the video made with dgindex:

And here are my 2 scripts (both could not completely remove the combing)

Mpeg2source("source.d2v")
fielddeinterlace()

and
Mpeg2source("source.d2v", info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
edeintted=last.AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
TDeint(order=1,edeint=edeintted)

Sorry about that!

And here are my 2 scripts (both could not completely remove the combing)

Mpeg2source("source.d2v")
fielddeinterlace()

When I do this with the M2V you just uploaded, the frame I get looks just fine and not combed like the one in your first post. Are you changing the problem description, or what?
