Badly Deinterlaced Cartoon DVD (Includes Sample)

[WooWoo]

Hi, I have some DVDs of the Rugrats cartoon (from Amazon Burn on Demand DVDRs). I wanted to encode them to x264, but I was very surprised to see what looks like the DVDs went through some type of deinterlacing process that made them look like crap. I haven't been able to find a way to fix them and make them look right, and I'm not really sure there is any hope to fix them.

I figured I had might as well see if any of the experts here wanted to take a look. Anybody care to give it a shot and let me know if you can produce any good results?

Here's a 47 second, 28.9 MB raw vob file of the intro:

Your link tells me "permission denied". Use a file name like "sample.vob" next time.

Whoops, sorry about that. Didn't know MediaFire would pull that. I've reuploaded it as Sample.vob to Mega. Thanks for letting me know neuron2.

This appears to be frame blended.. It would take a lot of work (arguably not worth it) to possibly fix this if some of the deblending tools around here can't help.

But I should let someone more experienced than I, speak to what to do with this source.

[WooWoo]

Thanks for the reply osgZach. Anybody have any recommendations?

the link dowsn't work.
it says: temporary not available.

Strange, it's working for me (I tried it with Chrome and Firefox).

Anyways, I've uploaded it to Google Drive (in RAR format). Hopefully this will work right, but let me know if it doesn't.

Sorry to double post, but anybody having any luck? I've tried out several filters to fix frame blending issues, and the best results I am getting are with FixBlendIVTC and SRestore. The results aren't terrific in a lot of spots though, so I'm hoping someone will be able to come along with something better.

[osgZach]

You may have to do this manually. I would do a test on a small range of frames you know to contain trouble spots, and tailor FixblendIVTC and Srestore settings to try and adapt to those sections. (or if they support applying different settings to frame ranges do it that way)

In the end you may have to process independent sections and then recombine them.

Your first linked file (mega.co.uk with weird name) produced a message from somewhere (maybe Firefox v21.0) stating that the site was trying to
store a file greater than 50MB for offline use, this made me nervous (file is supposed to be 29MB) and I withheld permission.
2nd link works OK.
