Help with decombing (hybrid?) Futurama with avisynth

[sikboy1029]

I'm trying to convert Futurama dvds, I run the vobs through DGIndex to get the fps right and have no problem with that. Sometimes when there's a lot of mouth movement there's extremely noticeable interlacing though. I try using the TIVTC pack but can't get good results. Perhaps one of you can be of assistance, I can upload a sample clip if needed.

here's an unedited clip from the dvd http://www.mediafire.com/file/3xxfat5beuycdik/test.avi

I used this script and it did alright but I bet it can be better

DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("fr.d2v")
Telecide(post=2,vthresh=30)

Post a cut from the VOB itself not a re-encoded AVI! You can cut the VOB with DGSplit. Give us the first 50MB.

I uploaded roughly the same section, hope that's sufficient. As the intro is not interlaced at all

Use the IVTC function in DGindex, under video/field operation, select forced film

Then save project using avs template

[sikboy1029]

I am using forced film, I always preview it to see what's appropriate.

[sikboy1029]

Anybody else have script suggestions?

DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("fr.d2v")
TFM()

That's better than what I was using, thanks. Still some interlacing traces but no ghosting in previous frames like I was getting.

Im having troble with those damn blendings too, IVTC is mostly not functioning is there is no definitive pattern.

But I think I got a "wonderscript" now. I have same Problems with a hybrid + blended source and my script works as best of all available.

This is my result (~9 MB) of your source:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/8lprgt
Rename the file from ".tst" to ".mkv" (its Matroska)

Some parts look a little bit awful because of deinterlacing.
I was only interested if it would work for your source too (and how good). It seem to break all other scripts in smoothness. But it needs still a lot of finetuning.

Please remember: My script is at lowest level now, it is only functioning, but it runs VERY GOOD as I think. But I need a profi for a corporate work on the script, because I dont understand those avisynth-scriptspeach ... If I find someone there maybee a better functionality.

Here a small update with much better quality. Should be Sourcequality (~7 mb)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/4yhj33
Rename to ".mkv"

I cant see any combings or artefacts anymore, so if there are some, they are very small ...

So the source is reparable, without loosing frames.

[sikboy1029]

That's very good, are you willing to share the script or are you still fine tuning it?

[mbcd]

I´m still finetuning, I dont like sharing bad stuff

But try QTGMC to deinterlace and then run Srestore after it.
Framerate is 29,976 (NTSC).

Try even to give srestore a special deinterlaced clip as dclip for better motion, that is what my script does. Try tfm for that.

I share my script when its "finished", but I still need some professional help for that. So it could take some time.

The framerate is 23.976fps. Make the D2V using 'Honor Pulldown Flags' and then:

TFM(D2V="E:\Test\Test.d2v")#Adjust for your path
TDecimate(Mode=1)

I used the sample from the third post down. But maybe I'm missing something. Where's the blending you're talking about?

[sikboy1029]

I'll give it a try, thanks. It's generally in the mouth movement.

[sikboy1029]

ok now I used that script on a different episode and the frame rate is 19.181, any ideas why?

You made your D2V project file with the Field Operation set for Forced Film?

[sikboy1029]

Nope, I used honor pulldown flags, can't figure out what the issue is.

Then, assuming only one IVTC in the script, either you're mistaken, it's not really 19.181fps, or there's some other framerate changer in the script (ChangeFPS or AssumeFPS, for example). Open the D2V in Notepad and check what its framerate is in the stuff at the top. If that doesn't explain it, post your full script.

Or maybe start over and make a fresh D2V.

[sikboy1029]

You are correct, deleting the D2V and starting fresh fixed it, thanks a lot.
