Deinterlacing Blu-ray (Anime)

[Taizenshū]

I'm having a really hard time deinterlacing this anime, I tried using things from ITVC to QTGMC but the lines would sometimes look weird.

Here are some samples (I used tsmuxer to split them):

FFVideoSource("EP1.split.1.m2ts").assumefps("ntsc_video")
separatefields() #QTGMC()
Dup(Threshold=6.0, blend=true)
tdecimate(mode=2)
NNEDI3_Resize16(1920, 1080) #or not

TFM().TDecimate(mode=1) should work on this

How lines look weird? Please provide some examples.

The fields are slightly different. I think at least some of the fields were upscaled from SD to HD without being deinterlaced. I can't really tell, maybe it all has.

I've being testing out Jagabo's scripts from this VideoHelp Thread:

http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/370175-Problem-with-deinterlacing-and-edges

but it gives terrible aliasing and generally looks like crap.

The frame rate in this one is even further off, there's fields lost in editing and I'm pretty sure some of it is full NTSC frame rate.

-edit- there's no setting in Dup that will merge the fields without destroying frames it shouldn't, I tried fiddling with QTGMC and ReDup to see if I could get something working but after being deinterlaced some of the derived top/bottom field frames have more differences to each other than they do against some of their original frame neighbours.

Look at the characters right hand here:

Also the subtitles:

FFVideoSource("EP1.split.1.m2ts").assumefps("ntsc_video")
separatefields() #QTGMC()
Dup(Threshold=6.0, blend=true)
tdecimate(mode=2)
NNEDI3_Resize16(1920, 1080) #or not


Your script probably gave me the worst result, the lines just looked terrible.

I'm not sure if this will work:


orig = last
_deint = tdeint(emask=orig.TMM(),slow=2)
#also try without the emask parameter
tfm(slow=2,clip2=_deint).tdecimate(mode=1)


or a 2-pass encode


#1st pass

tfm(slow=2,pp=1,output="tfm_file.txt")



#2nd pass

orig = last
tfm(slow=2,pp=1,input="tfm_file.txt")
tdeint(hints=true,clip2=orig,slow=2)
tdecimate(exPP=1,mode=1,tfmin="tfm_file.txt")

My attempt:

LoadPlugin("C:\Portables\MeGUI\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll")
LWLibavVideoSource("C:\Users\Isra\Desktop\EP1.split.15.m2ts")

complementparity()
separatefields()
supaa2()
assumefieldbased.weave()
qtgmc(preset="fast", fpsdivisor=2, lossless=2, sourcematch=2)

@DeathAngelBR your script was sped up at the end.

@Overdrive80 Your video would keep playing and pausing.

All scripts seem to have that subtitle line issue I mentioned earlier. Why is this source such a pain to work with?

[kuchikirukia]

Some idea of what file you're working on would be useful. "Try2" tells me nothing.

Moon runes can be a problem because it detects them as combed. Try turning off postprocessing.

tfm(pp=0).tdecimate(mode=1,hybrid=0)

You can play around with santiag for the residual combing.
A deinterlacer is the wrong tool here. This is just telecined.

Because it's crap source which should never end up on Blu-ray.
Resize it to half resolution vertically and upscale back with nnedi3.

Which part is it, in your samples?

I'll upload it now. It's from another episode, I just wanted to test out to see if it works with other episodes.

No, it's not. None of us are miracle workers and your source is borked. Anyone assuming it's simply telecined or hybrid isn't paying attention and any script that doesn't involve either blending or downsizing is wasting your time.

If I could finish ReDup blending may be an option, but since that's not happening you have no choice but to downsize or live with the messed up lines.

@Taizenshu
Please upload the source of try1.mkv, anyway.
Maybe other people would help.

Damn, really disappointed in this release. Oh well, thanks for trying.

tfm(order=1, pp=0).tdecimate(mode=1,hybrid=0)

It's not perfect, but I'm not finding antialiasing that's working to clean up the rest and that seems to be the core of what you need so it's good enough for me.

[cretindesalpes]

These are typical artefacts from an Interlaced SD master → Imperfect IVTC/Deinterlacing → Upscaling → Interlacing/Pulldown process. The problem is that a “smart” deinterlacer is used, trying to detect which parts of the picture should be field-matched and which parts should be deinterlaced. Sometimes the detection fails and the wrong processing is applied.

The best thing to do is to IVTC without caring about the residual combing (just TFM/TDecimate with basic parameters) then reduce the resolution to something close to the original so the combing is removed, leaving just slight ghosting, or run DAA3 on the result if you want too keep the upscaled resolution.

[Taizenshū]

I should've mentioned that I actually wanted to downsize the resolution to 768x576. Would that make it easier?
