Just FYI, Stargate SG-1 Season 7 NTSC discs 1 and 2 and 4 are Bottom Field First, unlike seasons 1-6. I was trying to compress this to XviD and the resulting file came out undeinterlaced and jerky, and after reading the Decomb manual I figured out that Telecide just wasn't able to lock on to the pattern due to it being bottom field first rather than top field first.

(Disc 3 season 7, though, is top field first.)

All you have to do to get Telecide to deinterlace it correctly is add the following to the Telecide part of your avisynth script:

Telecide(order=0)

rather than

Telecide(order=1)

so here's what my final script looks like:

SetMemoryMax(40)
LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\decomb.dll")
mpeg2source("project.d2v")
crop(6,0,708,476)

#--Works on Seasons 1-6, Season 7 Disc 3
#Telecide(order=1,guide=1,gthresh=25,nt=40,post=0,show=false)
#Decimate(mode=3,threshold=1.0,show=false)

#--Works on Season 7 Discs 1,2,4
#Telecide(order=0,guide=1,gthresh=25,nt=40,post=0,show=false)
#Decimate(mode=3,threshold=1.0,show=false)

hopefully this thread will save some time for anyone who's wondering why their SG1 isn't deinterlacing correctly :)
