Telecide + Force Film: Thoughts Requested

[Asrial]

The project is 94% film so I run FORCEFILM on the project. Now, what are your thoughts about doing this in the AVS file?

Telecide(order=1,guide=0,vthresh=5,blend=true)

.

From prelimanary investigation, I can't see any drawbacks to doing that but I can definitely see some positive changes (no combs at all). I'm not seeing any serious blend issues either.

However, I'm still an average encoder and I'm seeking the thoughts of all you 1337 encoders.

.

My reasoning is that the FORCEFILM is doing the gruntwork and then the TELECIDE is running cleanup.

All you are doing is getting the benefit of the postprocessor in Telecide. It's arguably better to just get that directly using FieldDeinterlace. Your vthresh appears unnecessarily low. You'll probably be damaging a lot of good frames. Try this:

[force film]
FieldDeinterlace(full=false,blend=true)

Adjust thresholds as required.
