Hi-

A decent guide, I suppose. Looks a little weird in Explorer.

However, you used The Excorcist as the example? And The Exorcist is a movie? And you recommended deinterlacing it? Do me a favor and open the final AVI in VDubMod. Scroll to a place with movement and start advancing a frame at a time. Is every 5th frame a duplicate of the one before? If so, does that tell you something?

I suppose I should make the screen shots more generic. I'm not so sure why or how I have duplicate frames, maybe you could grace me with an explanation. I'm no guru, I just have found a method that works for me.

Hi-

So you did open it in VDubMod as I suggested, and found the dupe frames? If so, you got them by deinterlacing with KernelDeint, rather than running a full IVTC on it, as you should have.

I'm no guru, I just have found a method that works for me.

At the risk of sounding harsh, any method that encodes 25% more frames than necessary, resulting in a jerky playing video and lower quality video than you'd have had you done it right is not, in my opinion, a working method.

When to Force Film, when to Deinterlace, when to IVTC, are not easy topics to understand. This might help. It's outdated now, but the fundamentals still apply:

I was not aware that was the result of the (Kernel deinterlace), so I'll look into that. I fixed my site so it's legal, originally it was going to be a word DOC not a site, so I wasn't worried about copyright laws.
I changed my wording in that area to just describe the form window and not to suggest anything directly. The main thing I wanted to convey was the general process, because the app can be quite intimidating when first looking at it.
