Hey guys, I was hoping someone would help me out with a 'problem' I seem to be having when I keep my captured source (analogue, 25FPS, PAL) interlaced. First of all, here's the script I'm using:
--------------------------------------------------
Avisource("C:\capture.avi")
video = SeparateFields().LanczosResize(704,288)
evenfield = SelectEven(video).PeachSmoother().FluxSmooth()
oddfield = SelectOdd(video).PeachSmoother().FluxSmooth()
Interleave(evenfield,oddfield)
Weave()
ColorYUV(levels="PC->TV")
--------------------------------------------------
I've used three programs to convert this to DVD - TMPGEnc, CCE, and MainConcept - and have set them to encode the output as 'interlaced'. Once the conversion is done, I open up the file on the computer, and it plays fine without any wierd motion problems. However, when I put it in a stand-alone DVD player, there seems to be some 'wierd' motion problems, which I find very hard to explain what it looks like (it doesn't look like ghosting, and it doesn't look like it's dropping frames either), it sort of looks like the effect you see when you are in a disco or something (where the lights flicker on/off alot), and when you look at someone dancing, you only see 'half' of their "frames of movement" due to the lights flickering. At first, I thought it was my DVD player, but it seems to happen in all 4 of the DVD players I've tested it in :( I'm thinking maybe it's either my script or my encoding settings :confused:
But don't get me wrong, the 'wierdness' is only evident when there is high motion in a particular scene, but when there is hardly any motion, it seems to be normal? The output is definitely watchable, but I was just wondering if what I'm getting is supposed to be normal? Thanks in advance.
