Redness

My method consists of smartripper, dvd2avi, vob2audio, guardian knot, and then virtual dub.

These 2 scenes are from out of sight and entrapment. I believe that they both were NTSC @ FILM 95% 16:9 ratio in dvdavi and in turn i enabled forced film. In guardian knot i enabled fast deinterlaceing and neutral bicubic filter. For some reason in scenes with alot of extensive bright colors and or bright text the frames tend to blur or have this sort of effect....

From that size it does'nt seem to be much of a noticeable problem, but when its maximized to full screen you can really see it.


Does anyone know why this happens and/or what i can do to fix this?

Any help is much appreciated.

All I know is that the color red has always been the most difficult color to encode. What the technical background is I don't know.

Why did you enable de-interlacing?

If you enabled force film, then thats all you need.

hi grug2k..

I hv used fast-deinterlace for PAl and Smart-deinterlace for NTSC
Check this in doom9's guide.

Yes, but you should only enable IVTC/interlacing if you're using an interlaced source.

Normally, if you're encoding a movie, you should enable force film if its an NTSC movie (23.976) and disable force film if its PAL.

As he said both were NTSC @ FILM 95, force film should be enabled and thats it.

Im confused. I thought that if the source was NTSC @ FILM 95% or higher you should enable force film and then deinterlace. What if its NTSC and its under 95% or if it just says "interlaced". Should i just deinterlace and not enable forced film? What about with PAL and when its interlaced.

I live in Region 4, so I only have around 10 NTSC discs, but as I understand it:

NTSC:

If you're encoding a movie, then most likely its 23.976 NTSC. And most likely FILM 95% or higher. In that case, force film, and thats all you have to do.

My friend had a disc from Hong Kong that was 29.997 NTSC. This was interlaced. Force Film was turned off, then the framerate was manually set at 23.976 and IVTC was done in VirtualDub.

Secondly, when you're doing PAL, do not trust DVD2AVI. I think it says "interlaced" on every disc I have. Just look through the preview window for interlaced lines, if there aren't any, don't de-interlace. Generally, movies will not be interlaced, and only TV shows converted from NTSC will need de-interlacing.
