How to perform IVTC in CCE

[Commander XJL]

If I have a movie that is NTSC so I can't use Force Film in DVD2AVI, how do I perform IVTC if I want to encode with CCE?

[TRILIGHT]

Frameserve via Avisynth and use the Decomb plug-in in the script. Do a search in the Avisynth forum and you'll find more info.

Is it really necessary to perform IVTC?

[TRILIGHT]

It depends. Does it look like ASS when you burn it and play it back on your standalone? hehe :) Trust me, you'll know. You'll get a headache from hell with the result. I have used the following script with very good results on all NTSC sources I've worked with...

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\decomb.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\MOVIES\TAHS\project.d2v")
Telecide(guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5)
Sharpen(0.3)
ResampleAudio(44100)

Wait...am I helping you? I could have sworn you said some really nasty and uncalled for things about me recently. ;)

Trilight,
Use the same .avs as you when needed.
However don't use "sharpen"

How does this help from a digital source?

Both of the NTSC items I've done looked just slightly blurred on the edges on the originals. The 0.3 on the Sharpen helped clear this up and made the video look better. It's your call really. That line is not really a necessity.

No I've never said anything nasty about anyone, I love all people unequally
