whats the best way to ivtc?

[jerets]

ive tried so many different methods for deinterlace its not funny. lol. but i like ivtc and tmpge seems to be the easiest way to go about it... im wondering if i can frame serv from tmpge into cce so i can get my 4passes or is there a better way to set settings in vdub and frame serv into it from there? in vdub ive tried "vidio->frame rate" and set it to "inverse telecine: Reconstruct from fields - adaptive" and then frame served into cce but that never seemed to work out right either. lol. any suggestions?
Thanks

The best methods to IVTC are via AviSynth. Decomb is very good, although some people claim IT gets better results, at least compared to older versions of Decomb. However, with Decomb you also get excellent documentation and help resources since our own Avisynth forum mod neuron2 is the dev.

If you want to use Tompkins you can. Just save a project file after you have setup your video and then use VIP to convert the .PR to a fake .AV file. Using this method you can use Tompkins's manual IV interface along with all the other filters it offers. However, last I checked Tompkins auto-IV left much to be desired so to get results as good as Decomb you will probably have to do a lot more work.

Decomb is a plugin for AviSynth, which is a script based frame serving program.

Check out Doom9's guide http://server4.doom9.org/mpg/d2a-mpeg2dec.htm for setting up Avisynth frameserving. Then go to the AviSynth forum and check out the sticky thread "AviSynth filter collection" to find Decomb, there should be a link to the latest version which includes good documentation.
