Hello,

I am trying to deinterlace a 24fps NTSC video (anime) which happens to have 30i or hybrid sections...
Although I could handle most of the video with little problems, the intro is especially messy due to an extremely erratic interlaced-progressive pattern. While I am willing to make it as smooth as possible, even if it means manually editing each frame, this part here:

(sorry for using MU, I don't have a server)

is giving me a lot of headaches. The worst part is the girl with the scepter... I cant find a single deinterlacing function/plugin that can do the job (ie. deinterlacing without nasty artifacts). And I have tried it all; Decomb, TDeint, MCBob, MVBob (and all functions wrapped in it).

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Like you said, edit each frame. With deinterlacer that works best for it. For example, like that:

d1=<deinterlacer 1>
d2=<deinterlacer 2>
d3=<deinterlacer 3>
Lomf(d1,"<path to file>\deint1.txt")
Lomf(d2,"<path to file>\deint2.txt")
Lomf(d3,"<path to file>\deint3.txt")

Well, I actually use just sequences of Lom(d<x>,<frame>,<frame>). Easier to find the best deinterlacer and trace interlaced frames. But makes the script longer.

Sometimes it's good to use NNEDI(). TempGaussMC_beta1() gives nice results on some frames, but introduces ghosts on others.

Apparently that will be the way to go.

Developers, thanks for giving us overrides. :)
