Chroma bug in anime

[EruPii]

Hello,

I have an anime DVD source which looks like interlaced video but it's not. The problem is the same as in this archived thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163937. I tried the code Didée wrote in it but didn't help (after encoding the source the result will be crappy with only chroma frames).

I bobbed the source and saw that the chroma is swapped between frames. Can't we solve the problem somehow if we Bob it or use SeparateFields, swap the chroma of the frames and use Weave or change the frame rate back to 29.970 fps in any other way?

I attached wrong frames from the bobbed source. Also, the source can be downloaded here: https://mega.nz/#!cc53iYCb!rg_42zzJwkY1qV1Oq2uQcbbiPUuKjNnEFtQK2HpG4co

Thank you for your answer in advance.

try this
orig = last
sanimebob()
chroma_rep() (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170364)
getparity(orig) ? interlaced60or50 : interlaced60or50(bff=true)

You should've cut a sample using DGIndex or another tool instead of posting the entire 800MB episode.

The problem is that they took the hard-telecined source and encoded it in progressive mode, BTW:

@chidragon... exactly.
Interlaced source encoded as progressive, with the chroma expanded between fields. There isn't much you can do to fix it... :(

this code can (in most frames)

Yup, I know my source sucks much a**, but it's my only source.
Thanks real.finder, I'll try your code as soon as I can.

[EruPii]

It's almost good, the problem is that I get these kind of frames in part of the video. Maybe chroma_rep doesn't work fully correctly. Does somebody have some kind of solution for this? Thank you for your reply in advance.

I'm using that script real.finder pasted here which contains the script you linked here. My problem is with this code block:
orig = last
sanimebob()
chroma_rep(10)
getparity(orig) ? interlaced60or50 : interlaced60or50(bff=true)
FrameCache(10)
I think the function in bold characters might not work correctly, even with its default parameter values. When I commented it out, that frame was correct, but some frames directly after scene changes were wrong.

yes, it will not work in 60i, it work only in pure Telecine

that why I add other code in bottom

Oh, thanks. But could you tell me where I can get "Hqdn3dY"? I googled it but I got no download links.

Dont know about hqdn3dY (The Y is unknown to me), but Hqdn3d can be found here:- http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters#Spatio-Temporal_Denoisers

EDIT: I dont see hqdn3d in this thread anyway (apart from your prev post [with/without the Y]).

This line needs hqdnd3dy:
smam(filter="daa3mod()")

I upload the last one I have in Attachments

[EruPii]

Thanks. I put the line smam(filter="daa3mod()") into the script, but when I try to pan or encode the source Avisynth returns with an error: RequestLinear: internal error (frame not cached)! after some frames. What can I do against it?

this should not happened since I add FrameCache(10)

anyway this is normal http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1779901&postcount=81
