Interlacing Question

[balbrain]

Hi

I riiped a disk and DVD2AVI says that it is fully NTSC (I dont see any percentage of FILM) and its fully Interlaced. I have never dealt with such a movie b4 so I just wanted to make sure of the settings.

Do I turn on IVTC?? Automatic in DVD2SVCD doess not turn on Force film. Does that take care of Deinterlacing also? All options in DVD2SVCD for deinterlacing say PAL in parentheses. Please tell me if I am missing something.

Thx

I've been using blendfields (all of mine are NTSC) for the few instances of interlacing. Like for concert, music, and mini-DV sources. I really need to test out which ones give the best quality. I think doom9 mentioned in his dvd2svcd guide that telecide provides the best results. I was just too lazy to edit the .avs. Only reason I use blendfields is it's the fastest and slows it encoding down by about 10%. But to me it looks great. IVTC is usually for anime.

Ok I can use bBlendfileds for De-interlacing. But what do I do about force film. Since it is fully Interlaced (DVD2AVI just shows INTERLACED in film type when i preview) Force film is not activated. Shouldn't I do IVTC to get 23.976? Wouldnt it remain 29.97 if I dont do anything?

Its never a great idea to decimate true ntsc interlace. In fact, if you are going to encode for watching on a standalone, some would make the point to not deinterlace at all and to leave the frame rate at 29.97

If you would like to try deinterlace with decimation edit the avs script. [edits]

Add these lines before resize:

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\InverseTelecine\Donald Graft\decomb.dll")
FieldDeinterlace()
Decimate(cycle=5)

Check that you got the edit right by pressing the save button and then playing the avs before you click ok. I don't know if you will like the results so try it with a chapter or two first. See the help file that comes with DeComb for further information.
