Bad capture, hoping avisynth might be my saviour here

[tomos]

recorded an old vhs of mine onto a dvd via a standalone deck (not released on DVD afaik) and mostly it's fine. the problem is, there was a glitch on the tape and 30 minutes or so after this just suffers from 'jerkiness' for lack of a better term. it stutters like crazy.

i ran it through megui and let it try and sort out a way to treat the video but while it works fine for the video in general, i dont think it's up to the task of fixing this since it's down to the way the standalone dvd recorder messed up the video. i've tried a couple of times and it never does it cleanly so have to do with what i have. i figure i'll have to do 3 sections to this. part 1 = good, part 2 = goosed, and part 3 = good - then join up.

i've uploaded a sample and am hoping someone will have some suggestions on a good way to clean this up.

sample here (30 MB) (http://rapidshare.com/files/95183092/sample.m2v.html)

i did a search and the results for 'anime' was unreal so sorry if i missed a prev thread that would cover this.

That's quite a piece of crud you have there. :)

The problem is that every sixth field is wrong, i.e., jumps back. This script will remove them and make a passable 25fps progressive clip out of it:

MPEG2Source("E:\tmp\tomos.d2v")
assumetff
bob # use a better one if you like
selectevery(6,0,1,2,3,6)
fdecimate(25)
msharpen # to ameliorate the effect of bobbing a little

I don't know what you are doing with the rest of the video so you may have to alter the script to match. But the basic idea is to ditch every sixth bad field.

Maybe scharfis_brain has some ideas about it too.
