un-deinterlaced frames with smart deinterlace

[nosaj]

a problem with smart deinterlace (or my ability to use it properly):

i encoded a vhs cap of my own private idaho with divx5.03. i used the default settings for smart deinterlace (frame-only,compare color,motion thresh15,scene change 100; 2.7 beta 2). a fraction of the frames did not get de-interlaced. only apparent during high motion scenes where i could see a frame messed up as often as every 1-2sec. when i used Vdub's deinterlacer (blend) these artefacts were gone.

other settings: 900kbits/sec encoding, bilinear resize 640x474 --> 496x368, light psych enhancements. also tried every combo of GMC & Bidirectional encoding and no resizing.

thanks for any insights...

Try decomb that way:

FieldDeinterlace(full=true,blend=false)

ive never had this problem with field deinterlace, using default settings. i only switched because i was getting ghosting effects with it.

Hi-

The default settings of FieldDeinterlace blend the interlaced frames, and DJ Bobo's settings won't. Jerkiness maybe, but not ghosting (unless you have blended fields to begin with). You might try it and see if you like it better.
