Suggestions for my script

[DVDragon]

I have captured some video using my Media Center PC and I am wanting to burn it to a DVD. I believe it is interlaced because I see mostly interlaced frames with an occasional progressive frame. The result of the script I used ended up being fuzzy and had some ghosting. Can someone take a look and offer some suggestions? Thanks for any help.

I was going to try and attach examples but I have no place to host and the files were a little too big to attach.

LoadPlugin("...\LoadPluginEx.dll")
LoadPlugin("...\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("...\TDeint.dll")
mpeg2source("...\tdeint.d2v")
ConvertToYUY2()
TDeint(mode=0,order=1)
AddAudio()

Have you tried a different de-interlacer? I usually use Yadif, it's quite good. Experiment around with different ones and pick the ones with the best result (I hear TomsMoComp is good, too). Also, what's the capture source? If it's an analog TV broadcast, the "progressive frame" is probably just a low motion scene. If it's a DVD, some telecining may come into play.

Yeah, I might just try another one and see if I like the results better. I had just heard so many good things about the quality of TDeint. The capture source is a mpeg from a Media Center PC. I cut all of the commercials out using Cuttermaran and wanted to burn to a dvd but like I said I'm just having some quality issues. Thanks for the reply.

Not the deinterlacer's fault. By applying ConvertToYUY2() before deinterlacing, you're destroying the interlaced chroma all by yourself. ;)
Swap those calls like this:

mpeg2source("...\tdeint.d2v")
TDeint(mode=0) # 'order' isn't needed for d2v sources
ConvertToYUY2()
AddAudio()

Good deal. I was pretty sure it was something I was doing but I just wasn't sure what. I'll give that a go and see how it comes out. Thanks for the help.
