Is this fixable? ("Field blending"?)

bilditup1 · 31st October 2016, 20:20

Trying now to process my Tintin DVDs, and dealing with a trouble spot in the first ep. This is not regular combing, it's something else, some kind of weird intermittent aliasing effect on edges (pay attention to windows and window sill in upper-left quadrant). Possibly field-blending? - but this is a mostly 23.976fps source that was produced that way in Canada, and I thought this was more of an issue related to conversion to and from 25fps. Going through the video, the windows and window sills appear to look fine in combed frames but rubbish in the otherwise good ones. Can somebody please explain what's happening here and if this is something that could be dealt with? Thanks.
