Interlaced... Strangely

[Velocity 7]

Okay, so I'm back from the Xenosaga problem. Now I've been video capturing MGS3 footage, and that has been giving me a tough time. Particularly, if I deinterlace using said (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=81530&highlight=xenosaga) method, it should deinterlace progressive 30 fps, right?

Well, MGS3 seems to be interlacing strangely; to put it more precisely, portions of the image are interlaced, rather than portions of the video itself are interlaced. I don't know what to make of this, guys. Any ideas?

Here's a sample video. (http://webhome.idirect.com/~tihhhuhv/test.avi)

EDIT: A better way to put it is that I'm dealing with video that's interlaced, and having a variable frame rate (rather than Xenosaga's consistent 30 fps).

The test.avi will not open in VirtualDub. What codec is it? Is it corrupted?

Take it easy with the rolled eyes please, Soulhunter. Is that any way to welcome back neuron2?

Ok, I removed this awesome smily... :p

Velocity 7:
What's the problematic part? Is it frames 32 and 33?

It's Xvid, so who knows what buggy version I have installed. What version should I use?

I get failed to decode frame 0 in Vdub. Error -100.

That version of XviD works for me too. Thank you.

Velocity 7, what exactly are you drawing our attention to? I don't see anything unusual.

Of course it is possible for only portions of a frame to show combing. The simplest reason is that there are static picture areas! Beyond that, you can have interlaced video overlayed on progressive video; you can have clips with different telecine patterns overlayed; the material may have been composed using a clip that was previously deinterlaced using a threshold, so that it retains some combs, but only in some picture areas, etc.

Neuron2, this clip real-time 3D rendered video game footage. The only overlaying going on is the text and status bars and stuff.

Velocity 7 - are you talking about like in frame 42 where only 2/3 of the screen is interlaced? I think this issue may be caused by "tearing" - it happens often in games when there's no vertical sync implemented in order make the game run a bit faster. It causes portions of the screen to be refreshed at different times on occasions, though, like in frames 41-48 in your example.

The framerate seems to be varying greatly, making the tearing uneven through time.
