HDTV deinterlace result in shorter movie

[tormento]

I am not very prone to encode interlaced material but this is the only HD source I own of this movie.

It comes from a HDTV mastered to laserdisk AFAIK.

I tried to give it a try with a simple deinterlace=1 parameter in DGSource and the output is a shorter movie.

I really don't understand nothing of IVTC and deinterlacing, to my limited knowledge if I deinterlace a video, it should remain of the same lenght.

Can somebody please help me to understand how to feed it to AviSynth with DGIndexNV without losing lenght?

This (http://www35.zippyshare.com/v/dqTGw30w/file.html) is a small sample.

Thanks.

The video is telecined, not interlaced. Your sample has audio delay problems.

Open:
Use MPEG2Source for .d2v or DGSource if you want
Or you can use LSMASH or FFMS2.

Inverse telecine:
AssumeTFF().TFM().TDecimate()

The result will be 23.976 fps.

Frankly, I'd leave it as-is and the audio as well. What's the purpose of your project?

Noise reduction and conversion to original material without losing time lenght. I will try your combination of pugins.

Audio has delay problems as the original video comes from hdtv in english, while italian audio from a dvd.

I'd buy the BD, if only it would exist...

There are so many things wrong with your clip that I don't know where to begin giving advice. Therefore, since it is a widely available Hollywood movie, just buy the BD or DVD, watch it, enjoy it, and then get on to something else.

If you are trying to replace the English audio with Italian, that can easily be done with a DVD re-authoring tool, and you won't have to re-encode any of the video.

So, if you main goal is to end up with Italian audio, start with an English audio DVD or BD, then remux the audio, save it on a BD or thumb drive, plug it into your TV, and watch the movie. I think you are wasting your time trying to clean up small amounts of noise on a DVD or BD released by a major Hollywood studio. They generally do a pretty good job, especially on a classic sci-fi movie like this.

LaserDisc ceased to be an option before HDTV appeared. Surely lab testing and demos at various shows existed before 2000, but the regular Joe had no access to HDTV until HD broadcastings via SAT.

Films are HD by definition, or UHD or whatever marketing slogan they can ad hoc invent, for they have no pixels and can be scanned at whatever resolution they want.

There is no BD...

...is available to download on the internet under the copyright act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. section 107.

Yeah... don't think that counts, really.

There is no fair use for entire movies still under the copyright. You have to wait until Cameron dies and yet a lot of decades after that :):) hoping the studios won't manage to prolong yet another time the copyrighted duration :) :)

I understand that you try to replace the original English audio with an Italian one?

Most quality DVDs are PALspeed-up (if of course designed for PAL countries), so the audio tracks must fit, considering all the other factors (versions, cuts/censure, logos etc etc). Just get the DVD of your likeness and add the Italian sound.

As I believe you have none of them, you're very much flirting with Rule 6.

It don't look interlaced or telecined at all for me, just a lot of blocking.

A very simple dgsource("abyss.dgi",fieldop=1) did the trick ;)
