SNL 25 years

I just was wondering why my cce is going so slow with this one. Less than half speed of what my other backups are.

---AVS Begin---
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\AVISYN~1.5PL\Mpeg2dec\MPEG2D~1.DLL")

Telecide()
Decimate(5)
BicubicResize(720,480,0.0,0.6)

chipvideo, easy one. Note telecide and decimate. Your script is using decomb to deinterlace and decimating your fps to 23.976

Try following Neuron2's hints on how to improve speed on Decomb's documentation. Telecide(guide=1) works for me very well when a Telecine was done (which seems to be the case).

Also, I wonder if you really need the resizing. If the source is a DVD you likely don't. Even though AviSynth resizers are supposed to do nothing in this case, try removing it to see if it helps.

on an aside.. i wonder.. is SNL really FILM.. i would think a live show, particularly SNL would be pure ntsc (why do it 24 fps just to have to convert it immediately) i couldnt find any links with info but just seems odd to me. i think i recall d2s picking ivtc on some source that was hybrid on me before. helped bitrate but the ntsc scenes were jumpy. snl i would think would be mostly ntsc (except for maybe logos and the prerecorded stuff they air)

Well, that's a good point, even though some shows (Friends, for instance) are shot at 24 fps.

@chipvideo, the best way to tell is to follow the IVTC guide:

NTSC. . .
SNL is pure interlace. I've done many every Saturday nights :)
