Fixing issue on badly converted DVD

[samf88]

Hi everyone - been a while since I've visited the forums but I have a query that I'm hoping somebody can help me with!

I recently bought a DVD and noticed some dodgy skipping every few seconds when playing it. I've ripped it to HDD and have been attempting to fix it but have so far had no luck. I've had a search around and attempted a few things myself such as converting framerates, pulldown, different deinterlacers, etc. Hopefully somebody here has seen similar issues in the past and might be able to help me fix it!

I've uploaded a sample m2v from the DVD http://www.sendspace.com/file/jyi8qw there.

I really hope somebody can help me - I want to watch this DVD badly but the skipping issue (which is as best as I know how to describe it) makes it unwatchable. The DVD is PAL 25fps and I'm in a PAL region, but the original material for the DVD was presumably converted from film to 25fps. I would post my script so far but as it does nothing at all to the video I doubt it would help anybody.

:thanks: Thanks in advance!

nothing very spectacular.

This is a pretty 'normal' fieldblend conversion of 3:2 Pulldown NTSC Film to Interlaced PAL.

you can revert it to 23.976 fps using srestore() and a decent bob-deinterlacer.

I hate to sound cheeky or break any rules regarding "do it yourself", but would you be able to suggest an example for which I should use SRestore? I have SBDeint for smart bob... but have no idea which order to use any of these in, or what parameters to use. Thanks in advance...

Yadif(Order=1,Mode=1)#or your favorite bobber
SRestore()

@manono: it is better not to use the order-parameter, as it will caus you trouble if using nnedi2 or other interpolators.

Nice to know that. Thanks.

In this source that combo yadif+srestore works like charm! (good envy) lol
