[HELP] I need to fix an old anime ghosting issue

[andiandi]

Hi

The source I'm struggling with is DBZ OVA 2 from 1993, encoded in Dragon Box DVD.

Among may issues, it has TTF interlacing, but even if I clean it with QTGMC or another (like EEDI2), there're still ghost frames.

Please look at the raw interlaced sample, you can download it if you want to do some tests.

I can use Avisynth and Vapoursynth, but I don't know what to use nor if I must do it while de-interlacing, before, or after.

:thanks:

This is the standard old Japanese blendy telecine transfer. Since you're ready to deinterlace it, try animeivtc(mode=2) to remove most of the remaining blends. And keep in mind this will replace any QTGMC step you already have.

Thank you, this gives great results

But if I understand correctly, AnimeIVTC deinterlaces the video as well, so no need for QTGMC after ?

Correct. Animeivtc() is already doing the deinterlacing.

Ok. but I have an issue. i found out that with AnimeIVTC, there are still interlaced artifact that are not there with QTGMC

How can I use AnimeIVTC while getting rid of them ?

[SaurusX]

AnimeIVTC can use QTGMC as its deinterlacer. Animeivtc(mode=2, bbob=4).

This works, but adding bbob=4 creates this visual issue, which remains on the encoded video

What is that ?? :confused:
(PS : It only appears with bbob=4 not 3 or others)

Maybe a version incompatibility? Try QTGMC 3.33 at the bottom of this page: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/QTGMC

There are a LOT of dependencies in QTGMC so it could be any one of those. It could take some testing.

I have this error

Maybe I have to change a parameter


EDIT : Nevermind, it was an MVTool issue, I downloaded Mvtools2 2.7.46 and it works

Thanks for your help !

That's great!

That's great!

Unfortunately I found an issue on on-screen text...

Edges moves like crazy, and it's not because of bbob4, but because of mode=2

I wonder if there's another filter (Avisynth or Vapoursynth) that could achieve the same results as AnimeIVTC but without these flaws

My suggestion would be to freeze frame that section of the video after the deinterlacing has been run. You'll not find anything else with the performance of animeivtc for a task like this. It's one of the top two mega-scripts for AVISynth.
