TS to lag to mp4

[koitsu]

So, yeah, I've got my hands on this TS source and was trying create a lossless resized raw from the 1440x1080 TS file(to 1280x720). I have noticed some significant blockiness etc in the lagarith itself... is this common and what should I do differently to avoid that. New to avs so any help would be great. Regular television quality, not animated. 29.97 fps. I have no idea what fft3dfilter is, but it sounded shnazzy, and a lot of sample TS avs scripts I went through had it, so I figured, wht not. End goal is to re-encode the lag into an mp4 with subs I produced, but from the looks of it, the lag isn't a huge improvement on the re-encoded stuff I'm seeing out there, so I assume I'm doing something wrong. the tfm stuff is to deinterlace, right? What else do I need to change?

DGDecode_mpeg2source("blah.d2v")
tfm(order=-1).tdecimate()
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)
fft3dfilter()
Trim(1452,15405) ++ Trim(17563,24899) ++ Trim(27058,39165) ++ Trim(41324,76254)

The Lagarith file is lossless and so can only show blockiness that was in the original: It will neither improve it nor worsen it. TFM/TDecimate is for pulldown removal, not deinterlacing. I think it would be best if you were to post a short sample of the original TS for folks here to check out [Open the clip in DGIndex, set an in and out point, choose "Save Project and Demux Video..."]
