Well Nifty, I recommend peeking at the sticky thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34696) directly above this one in the DVD2AVI forum. It will point you to a tutorial on film, interlacing, telecining ... and should be helpful whether you are working with PAL or NTSC video. It's designed for those who use DVD2AVI, AviSynth (.avs scripts), and, of course, Gknot.

Good luck!

thx gonna take a look now i did read in previous threads after i started this thread that if i tick de-interlace in g/knot it should work
well its on first pass now is there anyway i can test the first pass before i start the long and windy 2 pass?

It depends. If you are working with NTSC and Telecined content, it will only appear to have interlacing artifacts. PAL discs often have reverse field order, and can appear to be interlaced but are not. NTSC->PAL transfers can have all sorts of problems.Time to slow down, read, research, test, and think.

You can test with Gknot's Preview button. You need a level set on Gknot's video preparation and encoding process, and a feature that makes it quick and easy to test before encoding.

Gknot creates AviSynth scripts (.avs files). These are text files that can be edited with any text editor. But, when opened by an AVI player, or Vdubmod/Nandub, they will produce what appears to be uncompressed video. Gknot's scripting automates cropping, resizing, deinterlacing, Inverse Telecining, noise reduction, and other processes.

Gknot video encoding is done by VdubMod or Nandub. The video has already been resized and otherwise modified from the DVD MPEG-2 stream via AviSynth. The only process done by the encoder is to send the apparent uncompressed video to the codec.

When you press the Preview button, Gknot saves your current script in a temporary file called Preview.avs, and opens it with Windows Media Player. You can then see what your encoded content will look like before you encode it. If you need to look at individual frames, merely open that Preview.avs in VdubMod/Nandub. You can also press Save rather than Save&Encode to produce .avs scripts without encoding. When ready, merely use the Add Job button on the Encoder tab.

Lastly, punctuation will make your posts easier to read for the majority of our members, for whom English is a second language. Thank you.
