CCE encoding settings-Interlaced source?

[koplingeros]

Hi all

I want to encode a NTSC HD transport stream to NTSC mpeg2 suing CCE, but none of the settings I used(and I used them all) are good enough for me. the source is a 29,97 interlaced 16:9 source.

I also tried Fielddeinterlace avisytnh setting, bicoubicrezise, deinterlce in CCE, invert 3:2, but the output is still crappy.

Does anyone here have enough time and expericence in using avisynth plugins or preprocessing techniques, to hel me out here.
I want a progressive output, but all I get from CCE look like interlaced, crappy image. And a LOT of FLICKER.
I know there are some anti flicker avisynth plugins, but now I have a lot of hard time using CCE as it is. Though is not the first time I'm using it.
Regards,
Atolica

Post an unprocessed source sample of the problematic area.

Hi Donald

I got my old account back, though my first account(username atolica is still here and can't remember the email)

I'll get on posting a sample right away. Where shall I post it? Rapidshare?

You made multiple accounts here? Have you read the forum rules?

I prefer megaupload.com.

EDIT: I banned the koplingeros account. Please do not make multiple accounts.

I also deleted your cross-post of this thread. Read and follow the forum rules or strikes will follow!

I can't get file sharing sites at work, so I can't look at this until this evening.

Don't use RapidShare!

After you download one then they won't give you other because you have exceeded your bandwidth allowance.

I told you I prefer megaupload after you asked me, right?

And c'mon, a sample doesn't need to be 271 MBytes!

So if you make it difficult to help you...you may not get help.

[Guest]

I killed the download because I'm getting 20KB/sec from "Rapid" share.

Upload a single <= 50MByte sample to megaupload if you want my help.

[hardkorn]

The first file was already up and the 2nd one was uploading when I asked you.

[hardkorn]

I can't post a "just a <50 mb file". It's not a conclusive source for what I need your help. 50 mb is just too small. The source is 1920x1080 8gb file. So bare with me. The one I uploaded is 73mb ultra 7zipped, 45 seconds long.


When I said flicker, look at the first 3 seconds, and see what I mean. The original source doesn't look like this. This piece is demuxed with your dgindex. I looked for other demuxers, like bbdmux, but not much improvement. Maybe just a little bit.

edit: I just thought of demuxing the transport stream with bbdmux, and it seems to me that it looks much much better. In fact, improvement. Or it's just me? So here's another sample, this time less than 50 MB.

What are you trying to make with this source? Are you keeping it the same size and just want to deinterlace it and put it in an MPG program stream (rather than a tranport stream)? What is your intended final format? What is the reason for transcoding? I ask because you can just have the player deinterlace it when viewing it.

[hardkorn]

I want to encode it so it'll fit a 4,7gb DVD. Final format mpeg-2.

Try this script on your second sample:

LoadPlugin("dgdecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("video.d2v",cpu=4)
leakkerneldeint(order=1)
spline36resize(852,480)
crop(64,0,-68,0)

That will give you cropped 4:3 video. I would encode it with HCEnc as progressive 4:3, but use CCE if you prefer it.

You'll have to change the process if you want letterboxed or anamorphic video on your DVD. You didn't specify it so I gave you the simplest way.

[hardkorn]

What about anamorphic 16:9? I don't want any cropping or lettersizing. I'll look into HCEnc.
Can you please explain to me the simple36resize function? I don't understand how it gives a 720x480 output using those settings.

Thank you.

[Guest]

I've exhausted the time I have available for this, sorry. Maybe someone else will help. It's all covered in available guides!

[hardkorn]

I got it. Crop, crop and crop.

Thank you again!
