Issues with BBC Blu-Rays

[ArcticFox]

Ive got Torchwood Season 1 Blu-Rays and i want to make a digital copy and archive it on my server but im having problems with the video.

Media Info says:

Format : VC-1
File size : 7.29 GiB

Video
Format : VC-1

Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16/9

Ive tried deinterlacing it but the resulting video has really bad ghosting and motion blurr, ive been told to use IVTC but it hasnt worked either.

Heres a sample of the encoding using the following AVS file:
directshowsource("video.grf",framecount=92008,fps=29.97,audio=false)
converttoyv12()

TDeint(order=1)

spline36resize(1280,720)

Can anyone tell me why theres bad ghosting or help me create an AVS file to proper handle this video?

Don't give your encoding. Give us unprocessed source.

[ArcticFox]

I cant the file is 9Gb in size. It looks exactly the same as the encoding.

I cant the file is 9Gb in size. Use DGSplit to cut off a segment from the start of the stream.

It looks exactly the same as the encoding. LOL! Then why bother applying TDeint()?!

[ArcticFox]

because mediainfo says the file is interlaced, nevermind.

[Guest]

I'm not sure what your "nevermind" means. You want us to disregard your thread now?

So TDeint() does nothing (identical before and after) but you do it anyway?!

Well, if you want help I'd suggest you post the unprocessed source. Your encode is useless for diagnosing the problem.

First 10Mb of the first episode of Torchwood

Thanks for the help.

[woah!]

it seems to be VC-1, 1080i60 /1.001 (16:9)

There should be no reason to deinterlace TV shows as they are usually broadcast in 480i/1080i. The only reason I could see deinterlacing one is if they put out the BluRay as 1080i but broadcast in 720p. I'm not sure if this actually happens or not as I am quite baked.

[ArcticFox]

Is there any way i can fix the motion blurr at all?

How would i go about encoding this?

You should try importing you rip into "MeGUI", and create an AVIsynth script. You'll have lots of options for deinterlacing. You might want to use the tomsmocomp or the TDient.

LOL...I guess if you are going to watch on PC than you would need to de-interlace or can your media player not do real time de-interlacing? What are you trying to watch this BluRay on? Again...quite baked so I might be TOTALLY wrong :P

Blame the idiots who are responsible for the mastering. The source is fieldblended. Sadly there is nothing you can do. I'd return the discs.

edit: oh, and don't deinterlace. The source is 29.970 fps progressive. Just encode it as it is.

edit 2: This is the third time I've seen such a unnecessary blend conversion now. Why can't the mastering engineers leave the original framerate intact? I though that every LCD TV could output both 50 and 60 fps?
