Is this video field blended?

[Logan9778]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to encode an old batman: TAS DVD. It's really weird. It looks kind of like NTSC telecine, but I think it's field blended, It's like they field blended it rather than telecined it ( I recall someone saying on another forum that this was popular in the '90s). And this would be a show from the 90's.

It looks like they field blended c with D, then d with the next A fields. Then de-interlaced it all, and turned it into progressive to make some kind of weird field blend telecine. Is this double field blending? And if so, is there any way to undo it?

On many frames both fields are blended, and there is no regular Telecine pattern. I don' think you can fix this without introducing even worse artefacts.
You could still try IVTC followed by vertical blur to reduce the residual combing, like

TFM(d2v="batman opening.d2v").tdecimate(mode=1)
blur(0,0.5)

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to hack at it, and see what I can do.
