Deinterlacing problem (video link inside)

[chiu]

From what this looks like to me, is that it's a PAL source
converted to NTSC 29.97i.

Now, I've tried over and over again but I cannot fully get rid of the interlacing.

Also I want to keep the file 23.98p when I figure out how to get rid of the interlacing.

Thanks in advance.

There is no chance of deinterlacing this. The individual fields are themselves interlaced if you look at it closely.

Edit: What I bet happened was that it was 1) telecined to NTSC, then 2) blend decimated to PAL, then 3) blend upconverted to NTSC.

Edit2: Hey cool, TFM(mode=7).TDecimate() almost doesn't look like crap (but it still does).

Edit3: Looks like the "best" output is to just bob it and then do SRestore(23.976).

Both the RePAL filter and Srestore at default settings do a good job on this. Both need a 'smart bobber' applied first.

But the base framerate isn't 23.976fps. To get that you'll have to add an AssumeFPS(23.976) afterwards which will also mean stretching the audio to maintain the audio synch.
