Strange freeze/flick problem

[FreierGeist]

I'm posting this sample http://hypokeimenon.hypermart.net/sample.zip that shows what i mean...
i used this .avs:

ps.: i used Decomb 1.91
the source is a 4:3 @ 29.970, NSTC (always), frame type: Interlaced (always)
the movie has 91min and it was encoded (both passes) directly thru GKnot (DivX3.11a), the .avi file has come with 553MB

you'll notice a freezee/flick when the man drink the wine
if someone have a clue on how to solve it, i'll be thankfull
the .d2v was @ 29.970FPS and i calculate the settings to fit a 23.976fps (changing the FPS besides the "Open" (the .d2v file) buttom)

Thanks!!!

maybe it's my eyes, or my video card... but I don't see the problem. Using ATI Rage Mobility on a laptop. Used BSPlayer and Vdub.

Can't get the video because it downloads with size 0, but I can tell you that the Crop line is wrong. You have to have your width a multiple of 4. Also, you'll get faster performance, believe it or not, if you put null parentheses on Telecide:

Telecide()

Finally, if it is pure interlaced material, use FieldDeinterlace(true) instead of Telecide(). And why would you want to Decimate a pure interlaced stream?

hmmmm
ok neuron2, thank you very much!
but, try to download my sample @ http://hypokeimenon.hypermart.net/sample.zip , please, then you can analyse what's causing the flicker/freezee
will try with the right settings now
:)
and... i'm using Telecide because i want to IVTC also :)

thanks again!

@Freier

That appears to be the processed OUTPUT clip. I can't do much with that now can I? Give me the source clip, please. Thank you.

Yes, I do see the little jerk. But without the source clip I cannot definitively diagnose the cause.

You may *want* to IVTC, but if it is pure interlaced video and not telecined film content, you SHOULD NOT decimate, because it can cause exactly this kind of problem. Tell me again slowly, why do you *want* to IVTC this clip? Remember you said it was pure interlaced video. And note I asked why you are using Decimate, not Telecide.
