meGUI failed interlace detection, how do i determine it?

[ExperimentalAnimations]

I followed the guide on interlace detection (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Interlace_detection) for a film source mpeg2 dvd (babysnakes) that i can never get to sync, in which meGUI returned this script that gives me a 17fps video:

DirectShowSource("D:\Movies\BabySnakes\Merge.mpeg", fps=29.970, audio=true, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(30000,1001)
LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Workstation\Desktop\MeGUI_2050_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
TDecimate(cycleR=1)
#crop
#resize
#denoise


Using Info() in vdub claims it as a 29.97 progressive, using separatefields() doesnt show any jerky motion, using dgindex with either honor and ignore pulldown flags selected gives this:

Ive also tried the ivtc plugin in vdub which doesnt work, the video is always faster than the audio and desyncs immediately. I'd upload a sample of the mpeg but i dont know of any way of breaking off a piece without encoding it into something else.

Make a sample clip about 10 - 25 sec and post that for getting a better response.

I already said i dont know of any way of making a sample without re-encoding it, which would defeat the purpose of making a sample.

What really frustrates me about this is that mplayer plays it fine without any combing or sync issues, if there was only some way of capturing the output.

dont know of any way of making a sample without re-encoding it

- Open mpeg in DGIndex

- Select a range via keys "[" and "]"

- Choose "File > Save Project and Demux Video"

- End up with an *.m2v sample file to upload

I did mention how to make sample clip, but it was removed regarding spam.

You can also just use any binary splitter, such as DGSplit.

Thats about a minute, 32mb total.

Well i did a video capture of mplayers output using camtasia which worked well until it hit a snag halfway through which desync'd the whole thing. I'd edit out the duplicate frames but i have no idea which duplicates are part of the film and which are not. Is there no way to convert mpeg2 footage without it changing the videos length?

Doesn't seem that atypical. Just a constant AV delay. Normally you would enter the value reported by DGIndex for delayaudio (it's written into the audio filename), but for some reason it's not quite right

You can preview your avs scripts and use +/- keys in a media player to figure out the value of the delay (shift audio realtive to video). I roughly approximated it to be 150ms here

You mentioned something about glitches: if your original DVD has glitches, you may have to process your video in segments with different delays for each segment (e.g. divide up using trims and join using aligned splice). If you are not re-encoding the audio , you can use delaycut or enter the AV delay during muxing instead of including audio in the script


MPEG2Source("Merge.demuxed.d2v")
AssumeBFF()
TFM()
TDecimate()
vid=last

aud=FFAudioSource("Merge T81 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY -83ms.ac3")

AudioDub(vid,aud)
DelayAudio(0.15)

Here is a guide from neuron to get you started, instead of relying on some autoanalysis which can make mistakes

I tried the guide and vdub said theres no function named mpeg2source. Tried directshowsource with separate fields as before and it appears to be progressive video according to the guide, but thats obviously not true as framing through it normally in vdub reveals sporadic combing.

Every program is giving me different frame rates for it so i dont know what to do. Does anyone here have any clue how to determine what this is?

[ExperimentalAnimations]

Vdub speeds up the footage if i output it at 29.97, which is what it claims it is, and it slows it down if i output at 24fps. Mplayer also claims its 29.97 but then plays it at 24fps. Framing through it in mplayer shows that combing is once again completely random, sometimes not appearing for up to a minute then showing a few frames at most.

Place dgdecode.dll in the avisynth plugins folder or load it manually with LoadPlugin()

There are instructions in the dgmpgdec package, read the "quickstart.html" guide

nevermind, ill just download it from somewhere else. Thanks for nothing.

'Thanks for nothing', when pdr went out of his way to try and help and you weren't willing to meet him even halfway? Then you promote warez by saying you'll download copyrighted material?

Maybe you had better reread our rules, particularly rules 4 and 6:
