Deinterlacing problem

[naz69]

I'm having hard time palying with The Matrix Revisited DVD.
I've ripped a part of VTS to my HD and I'm trying to convert it into XviD.
My problem is that the material is interlaced pal, and everytime I'm trying
to deinterlace it, it comes out with the jerky playback.
This is the list of deinterlacers I've used and effects they gave:

TomsMoComp - jerky playback + ghosting

Kernel Deinterlace,Field Deinterlace(no blend),Smart Bob, TDeint all gave jerky playback.
Only the Field deinterlace (with blend?)gave quite normal effect but the picture wasn't to sharp.

Is there a way to deinterlace it correctly so the picture would maintain its sharpness and the motion would be smooth?

Here is the LINK (www.jotem.net/pub/test.vob) to the cutted out part of the vob (8MB) so that you could see whats the problem.

ps. I also spotted that when I load the vob to powerdvd the run time is about 12 mins and when I make the d2v project and open it in Gk it's 17 mins.

Please Help!:(

The problems are in your source material. First, it is field blended (do a search for "blended fields"). It is always difficult to get smooth results deinterlacing blended-field video. There's no good solution. Second, there are skips in the source video. I used DGMPGDec to frame serve the video via Avisynth. In the script I just sourced the MPEG stream and then did:

assumetff.separatefields

Then I step through the fields using VirtualDub. You can easily see the blends and skipping.

It's just tough source material coming from a cheapo conversion to PAL. Do the best you can with it and be happy.

So could you, plase sugest me some avisynth script couse I'm a total noob at this point :rolleyes:.

Ok I've tried restore24, and it removes the blended frames so the motion gets smooth, but it also couses jerkyness in places where motion was smooth before.

That source cannot be de-blended. Not by Restore24, and not by anything else I knew of.

Restore24 is designed, as the name implies, to restore content to its original 24fps FILM state. Therefore, it only works *IF* the source originally was progressive 24fps (or progr. 25fps PAL, for that matter).

But your sample seems to originally have been interlaced 29.97fps NTSC (I only d'loaded the first 4MB, though) :

There is blending in almost each and every field, which is a clear sign that 29.97 video content was blended down to 25fps.
If a telecined stream is blended down to 25fps, only every 2nd field (over the thumb) has blending, the rest is clean.

Nothing to do with that one. Either FieldDeinterlace it (with blend=true), or bob it to 50fps.

Or just leave it as it is, and watch it on your TV set only ;)
