simpsons rips look like garbage... help?

XviD version 1.1.0-30122005
Method: AVS in Virtual Dub

i'm backing up all of my R1 (NTSC) simpsons dvds to XviD. no matter how i set my AVS script, i keep getting nasty ghost frames... they look awful! i've google'd my brains out trying to figure this out, and it seems as though a lot of other folks out there are having the same issue, but have not found a resolution.

anybody got any ideas? if you have a successful AVS script, can you post it here? please include links to any necessary plugins. thanks!

post a screenshot, your avs script and your xvid settings.

The Simpsons disks are hybrid - it's going to take a great deal of work. I just run them through AutoGK which does a fair job of them.

Your problem seems really to be a deinterlace problem. You should probably refer to the Avisynth section of the forum. Anyway I recently solved my problem of deinterlacing using the wonderful Avisynth script generator embedded in MeGUI.

This is the avisynth script that I use for the first pass of my PAL (R2) Simpsons encodes:

fft3dGPU(bt=3, plane=4, NVPerf=true)
vmtoon()
DeHalo_Alpha(rx=3.0,ry=3.0)
Undot()
DupMC(log="D:\SimpsonsMC.txt")

crop(2,2,716,568)

Lanczos4Resize(704,512)

Beware, it is very slow and it needs a dx9 graphics card such as a geforce 6600 or higher. If you have a Radeon x800 or better, just remove the NVPerf=true line.

I use DeDup to remove the duplicate frames that are very apparent in the PAL release. For more info: http://students.washington.edu/lorenm/src/avisynth/dedup/dedup.txt

Still, though they definately look better, it still isn't what it's supposed to be. Very poor dvd mastering on these simpsons dvd's.
