Star Trek Next Generation RC2 PAL

[LimpBiz]

Hi Freaks,

I have some problems with the CCE encoding of the TNG Box (european RC2 format)

The ripped streams are reported by bitrate-viewer as Interlaced, top field first.

When I reencode them by dvd2avi+cce, the authored DVD seems to be well (viewed by powerdvd on my PC) but when I burn the disc, something seems to be wrong with the movie: During motions, there are flickers and shadows.

I experimented with decomb.dll and telecine, here is my avs script:
====
LoadPlugin("......\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("......\Donald Graft\decomb.dll")
mpeg2source(".......\1.d2v")
Telecide(guide=2)
Decimate(mode=1,quality=3)
ResampleAudio(44100)
====

I used CCE 2.50

The results without decomb are the same...

can anybody report me the correct settings for reencoding ???

I read some posts about that, but they are mainly for NTSC and didn't help.

Thanks a lot,
LimpBiz

sounds like you got the field order wrong.

also can you tell me why you are using decimate/telecide ?

just as a test, cos I read in some other posts ....

I also tried "upper field first" unchecked and checked in CCE but the result semms to be identical.

which option do I need to set to change the field order ?

you have to uncheck it, then run a different program on it to fix it. the field order setting in CCE is rather broken, theres a post by mikeathome with more of an explanation.

you can use pulldown with the switch to not apply 3:2 pulldown, and the switch to change the field order from odd to even.

Hm, now I tried to reeoncode with the avs:
===
LoadPlugin("..\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("..\1.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)
===
I pulldown the result with
===
pulldown 1.mpv 1_pd.mpv -nopulldown -tff even -framerate 25
===

but the result is always the same:
the video is pretty good, but when motions are fast, a lot of flickers and shadows make it unwatchable...
