Last Exile

[mariner]

Greetings.

The animatio classic "Last Exile" was mastered in 59i interlaced, although much of the content appeared to be progressive. I'd like some advice encoding this into progressive.

1. Some segments don't appear to follow the standard telecine pattern. The mountain scene in attached clip, for example. Can anyone recognise what pattern this is and how to restore it?

2. How would the standard inverse telecine script deal with this?


DSS2("H:\BDMV\STREAM\00003.m2ts")
TFM()
TDecimate()
AssumeFPS(24000, 1001)


3. Can anyone kindly provide a link to the latest DSS2?

4. Much of the video appear to be soft. Is this an upscale from SD (or perhaps interlaced) source? Any recommended sharpening scripts to enhance it?

5. What bit rate would you suggest for the progressive encode? FYI, the nominal bit rate of the original is 25mbps.

Many thanks and best regards.

DSS2 is in the Haali splitter (http://haali.su/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe), but LWLibavVideoSource should be able to easily handle it. The BD is an upscale, sadly; it was mastered at 480i and they didn't care to go back and redo the CG for HD. There are lots of issues from the lousy job they did at upscaling, see this thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1684096) for some suggestions.

Thanks for the kind reply, foxyshadis.

Any suggestions for a sharpening script?
