Help with IVTC

[Ábudos]

I have converted some DVDs to MKV (Full Metal Alchemist Anime), the source is 29.97 fps and watching on the computer the interlacing is very distracting. It's my impression that these animes are drawn at 24 fps and then teliclined with 3:2 pulldown to create the 29.97 final product, so shouldn't IVTC give me back a perfect 24 fps with no interlacing? That was my impression anyway.

I opened ffdshow filters and turned on the avisynth filter and added "tfm().tdecimate()" Sure enough pan motion isn't as smooth, as you would expect, and 90% of the interlacing is gone, but there are still some times when I notice it. Whats the deal?

Take a look at AnimeIVTC. And if you want more help, post an unprocessed sample, preferably with high motion.

Well, getting AnimeIVTC is being a major pain in the *** to get working. As of right now its telling me that it cant load Reduceflicker.dll, even though I've tried all 3 version that were supplied.

What's the best way to determine what types (if any) of telecine and/or interlacing are present in a video?

You look at it, perhaps after having separated the fields. Merlin7777 has already suggested you make a sample available. If you don't know how to tell what you have, that might be a good idea.
