Deinterlace correct?

[asarian]

I have the following interlaced DVD source (see below). How do I deinterlace this properly? Is this the correct method?

DoubleWeave()
Pulldown (0, 3)

The output still looks mighty interlaced to me, though: output (http://www.mediafire.com/i/?elch7aphahyyah3)

715 posts and you don't know that we need a source file and not your output file???

Why, if i may ask? I'm not asking people something like: "Please, help me clean up my vid." Rather, I'm asking for the correct way to deinterlace a source, and supplied the relevant MediaInfo for it, such a frame rate, scan type, scan order, resolution, etc. Is there anything else you could determine from the source that MediaInfo does not tell you?

Or did you mean you want an output vid, instead of an image?

Ay any rate, I'm having good results with QTGMC now.

You just answered why we need a SOURCE sample. And unprocessed source file will allow us to determine whether or not you have done anything correctly. We don't want to "clean your vid", you want us to help you see if you correctly de-interlaced a source, and to do that, we need much more than pictures or mediainfo. You should know this, being a member for as long as you have been.

Indeed. As Nightshiver says, MediaInfo does not provide nearly enough information to know what your source actually is. Only a human brain can properly analyze the source material. So we always ask for *unprocessed* source material.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I thought deinterlacing would be pretty straightforward, based on a few parameters as to the way it was encoded. Seems it's a little more involved. :)

Well then, here are both the input- and the output file, encoded with the script below:

Strangely enough you post a sample of your output. Why bother, using your arguments, it only sufficed to post some mediainfo logs :) :)

Strangely enough, you didn't read until the end of the thread.

You've posted an MKV, not the original source material.

What is the original source material? If you say it is an MKV, then where did you get it?

If it is not, then what is it? Knowing that we can tell you how to split it to make a sample.

The original is the DVD, which I used DVD Shrink on, just to extract the main feature to a single VOB. Then I used eac3to to convert to a mkv, in which container I input all my projects (very compatible, and eac3to automagically adds fps info to the mkv header; besides, it can't convert back to VOB anyway -- nor do I need it to).

[asarian]

As per this forum's tradition, here is a sample of the original VOB (http://www.mediafire.com/?h39t54qj2axxa3x) files (a small 100MB segment). It still contains audio tracks too (as I just used a file spillter on it); but that shouldn't be a problem.

It's standard "NTSC" interlaced video. No pulldown! Good quality too. Any deinterlacer will handle this just fine (or at least, to the best of its abilities). QTGMC is an excellent choice.

Cheers,

Thanks. Yes, I'm getting awesome results with QTGMC . Especially its repair and deshimmering functionality yields fantastic results!
