25i to 23.976p ?

[elguaxo]

I have this interlaced video:

With a 'normal' deinterlacing script (for example something suggested by MeGUI) I can get rid of the combing, but there is still some heavy ghosting left.

I had an experience doing 30i to 25p with this (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=864115&postcount=18). I wonder if this is a similar problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

not sure what megui is suggesting for a "normal" deinterlacing script, but if you're getting ghosts then it's probably mixing the 2 fields together.

try something like leakkerneldeint or tdeint, then slow down to 23.976 (along with the audio of course).

Why? It looks fine ;)

Seems like the "normal" fieldblending from Telecined NTSC -> PAL.

Generally, it can be restored either with scharfis_brain's method, or with an automated script like Restore24 or MRestore/CRestore.

Advantage of scharfis_brain's method is that it runs very fast. Disadvantage is that you have to manually check for pattern breaks ... there might be none, and you're fine ... there might be hundreds, driving you nuts.

Wow! Just only 'minor ghosts' left. It is sooo much better. I will go for that, and perhaps some tweaking will solve it completely. Thank you very much!!!

Some leftover "blending" often is caused by additional temporal smoothing that has been applied after the normconversion. If so, these can't be removed.
I did no frame-checking of the result, just watched it once in realtime, and once at 1/4 speed. Motion looked fluid without hickups, and also the bitrate histogram in Vdub showed none of those one-frame aisles or peaks that would indicate a false decision.

The used settings were almost default:
restore24(numr=2997,deno=6250,fra=1,frr=1,nr=-2,r24deint=4,ldmp=32)
