SP12 Blurays

[MovieRipper]

OK, First off all, I did quite a bit of reading on this yesturday in a manor that my head started to spin like crazy. Second, sorry if this question has been asked numerous times before but after a search on this board, I couldn't find a nice streight forward answer or guide.

I've been re-encoding blurays for quite a while now and never had any problems doing so. I recently obtained the South Park Season 12 blurays and those turn out to be a bit of a drag. They seel ti ve ubterkaced, encoded at 1080i60 (according to eac3to). After extensive trying, I wasn't able to re-encode them to 1080p24. Whenever I let megui do an analyse on the video it says that the source couldn't be determined. When I run the video thru DGAVCdec it says that the frame structure is MBAFF (Haven't seen that one on Bluray before). Source video is AVC. I did a little remux to mkv (http://www.e-clypse.org/video-002.mkv) of the source for you to check out. My question is, how to easilly go about this? Because I'm a wee bit stuck right now.

Thnx in advance :)

So, complain to the publisher that the discs are poorly authored and try to unblend the video with srestore to 24p.

I did try srestore but it doesn't seem to work on all frames. Will look further into it but some more help would be welcome.

srestore(frate=23.976, omode="pp3")
tdecimate(mode=1)
Seems to work on your sample clip.

And as expected it was right under my nose again.

Thnx a mill man :)

edit:

pp1 does a good job aswell. :) If I put it on pp3, visual c++ debugger acts up. Anyone else had this problem?

I downloaded srestore.avsi and MaskTools.dll and put them in the AviSynth/plugins folder and added srestore(frate=23.976, omode="pp3")
tdecimate(mode=1) to my script but I still can't call srestore. Do I need to do something else?

Do you have the required plugins? From the documenation:

needed plugins:
- mt_masktools v2.0 (allways)
- TIVTC v1.04 or higher (only for cache>0, not default)
- RemoveGrain (only for double-blend-removal, not default)
- Average (only for double-blend-removal, not default)

[me7]

I have in my plugin folder:
-mt_masktools.dll (v2.0a)
-TIVTC.dll (v1.0.5)
-RemoveGrain.dll (v0.9)
-Average.dll (latest version from here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1129919#post1129919))

I get the following error in the command line
avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'input.avs'

I used RemoveGrain 1.0b. Did you remember to import srestore? Post the complete script.

To see the actual error message, load your script in VirtualDub (for example).

[me7]

I tried to load it in MeGUI, the error says "Script Error: there is no function named "mt_makediff" (Srestore.avsi, line 35)".

Script:
FFVideoSource("C:\encode\input.mkv")
srestore(frate=23.976, omode="pp3")
tdecimate(mode=1)
LanczosResize(1024,576) # Lanczos (Sharp)

Your masktools is too old. Get the latest version, which is currently http://manao4.free.fr/masktools-v2.0a36.zip

[me7]

Yes, that fixed the error. Thanks.
