How to ivtc 1080i60 Blu-Ray source?

[onlym3]

I got S12 of South Park on Blu-Ray yesterday, so i tried to encode them to xvid. However no matter what i try, i can't get rid of the ghosting. I tried tivtc, decomb, even animeivtc. Anyone has any suggestions how this could be done? I have posted a sample of the source here: http://megaupload.dk/881sample.rar

That video has been produced by blend-deinterlacing a telecined source video. If it's directly from a Blu-ray, the disc has been authored poorly.

Recovering unblended frames is an AviSynth topic. Search for srestore.

Just curious, is the whole season on a single BD.

No (http://www.highdefdiscnews.com/?p=12784), apparently it's three single layer discs

Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to rip mine and I'm about to just not even go through with it anymore, if I can't get rid of the blended frames.

Who the hell encoded this? I need to yell at them. For a post house to create this kind of garbage is unacceptable in 2011.

Especially for such a great season of an utterly hilarious show. ><

It was done in 2008. It's not that it's interlaced, it's the fact that it was done improperly and it's probably going to be impossible to get a true progressive source without blended frames.

Any ideas? Here's a sample: spsample.264 (http://timramich.com/crap/spsample.264).

Wow, that is a disaster. And they even lowpass filtered it, to add small insult to injury!

[ramicio]

Any ideas? Rippers have got the frames deblended well enough, I just want to know how.

[ramicio]

Yes, no, hello?

Just SRestore it, as I already suggested to the original poster two years ago. Example:

LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
LoadPlugin("Average.dll")
LoadPlugin("mt_masktools-25.dll")
LoadPlugin("nnedi3.dll")
LoadPlugin("RemoveGrainSSE2.dll")
LoadPlugin("RepairSSE2.dll")
LoadPlugin("TIVTC.dll")

import("Srestore.avsi")
import("daa.avsi")

FFVideoSource("input.mkv")

# Put SRestore to double-blend-removal mode
srestore(omode="pp3")

# For some reason SRestore alters the framerate slightly although it shouldn't
# change the number of frames in omode="ppX"
AssumeFPS(30000,1001)

# Remove duplicate frames that SRestore put in place of blends
tdecimate(mode=1)

# Anti-alias
daa()

Btw, this topic was also discussed in this thread in 2009: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145623

When I do I get 12.5 FPS. And I can't get that sample to download. It requires a log in. And this is kind of no-go for me as I use 64 bit stuff.

That can only happen without omode="ppX". You did read the script I posted and compared it carefully to whatever you tried earlier, right?

And I can't get that sample to download.

Odd. How about from here (http://hattivatti.dy.fi/video/south_park_deblended.mkv)?

And this is kind of no-go for me as I use 64 bit stuff.

What is a no-go and how is it that? I encoded that sample on a 64-bit system with a 64-bit x264 and the OS doesn't even have Windows in its name. I did use 32-bit AviSynth though.

[ramicio]

I use a 64-bit avisynth, but i just installed the base package to throw it back down to 32-bit, and downloaded the 32-bit x264. I was referring to the fact that there is no "Average" plugin in 64-bit. Thanks for the help!

It's possible to put the 32-bit AviSynth dlls to some directory with avs2yuv and pipe to a 64-bit x264 binary. Then you can keep the 64-bit AviSynth installed to the system and use both at the same time.

[ramicio]

Oh well, it's too late now, all are encoded. It's less work to just run the 64-bit install batch.
