info on de-interlacing anime

[dani82]

as of now, i only know 2-ways of de-interlacing, de-interlace and inverse telecine, and a ran into a dvd (please save my earth) that can't be de-interlace given the methods i know

i'm not asking for help with this particular dvd, i want to know is, can all anime be de-interlace perfectly or near perfectly; i don't really want to learn any new methods, cause it's too confusing for me, but i'm going to have to

NTSC or PAL?

if it's PAL, then you might have a blend-conversion from an NTSC source (possibly hybrid 30p and FILM).

these can have _most_ of their detail recovered (IVTC'd basically, but it's way more complicated), but you'll lose a bit on pans.

what disc and what region is this?

[dani82]

ntsc, please save my earth, and whatever region the USA is

"please save my earth"... hmmm. not heard of that one.

well, if it's NTSC, and was made in the last 10 years it should be okay to IVTC properly.

it's a matter of whether it's all film (24fps sped up to 23.976 and 3:2 pulldown'd) or hybrid (pans and tweens done on computer at 29.97, combined with traditionally animated characters with 3:2 pulldown).

in either case, try smartdecimate in avisynth. the docs that come with it should be enough (i must confess i've not used it yet - not much call for it in PAL land)

btw, USA is region 1 (of course... centre of the world as it is :p)

But 0 comes before 1 so 1 is not the first. ;)

[unmei]

but 0 = "all regions" (airlines aso) :p ..or not?

[Mug Funky]

haha! "we're number zero! we're number zero!"

i think 7 is in-flight entertainment and 8 is reserved... hmm.

why do planes need their own zone?

[jimmy basushi]

because its illegal to show your normal videos on airliners and/or public places. well it is here in australia at least.

id assume that they would have to buy special licenced videos to show in the public forum of an airplane.
