Assistance in VHS color correction and restoration is needed

[Great Dragon]

Hello All,

I don't have much experience with Interlaced sources.
So I'm confused how to fix the issue like this

I've tried QTGMC( Preset="Slow" ) but it didn't fix those color lines flickering.

Could someone help me with this please?

Here is a short sample:

QTGMC is the wrong tool for this job. Also, the problem has nothing to do with interlacing. I suppose you might think interlacing is involved because the orange horizontal lines are "interlaced" with the normal lines. However, each horizontal line is many scan lines thick.

I don't have any suggestions on how to make it look a whole lot better although you might get a little improvement using DeFreq.

These are hanover bars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanover_bars), they're frequent for Pal. fftquiver may be the right filter for this job, i'll have to dig in my archives

I've removed those horizontal lines with ChromaDestipe from this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1746942#post1746942)
But now I need to figure out how to restore color on the top of some frames.

AVISource("H:\_vhs\vhs_trim_test.avi")
ChromaDestripe(top=576, blur=6)
ConvertToYV12()
QTGMC( Preset="Slow")
SelectEven()


johnmeyer, thanks for paying attention to this. I'll rename the thread to be more specific on the issue.

Funny things happen if you halve the resolution using pointresize.

But entirely useless.
