Deinterlace script

[rjc7394]

I'm trying to deinterlace an NTSC clip (29.97 fps) using Deinterlacesmooth.vdf V1.1 (Gunnar Thalin?). I want to keep the output clip NTSC. The imported clip must have individual fields at 50 or 60 fps. I guess I have to use "SeparateFields", I never understood how it worked. If you separate the fields you cut the height in half. How do you end up with a clip with the original resolution? What should I have in my script to use this deinterlacer?

I was using this (default parameters, no blending).

loadplugin("C:\dgmpgdec146\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\KATJA\VIDEO_TS\KT.d2v")
Lanczosresize(512,384)
Separatefields()

If you double the frame rate doesn't that mean your bitrate should be doubled for comparable quality?

You'd do a lot better to use a newer deinterlacer like leakkernetdeint or tdeint, or even mvbob if you have a lot of time on your hands. They can take and give frame-based video so you don't have to worry about that, and have much clearer output as well.

As for background on deinterlacing, if a bit dated: http://www.100fps.com/
