restore24 results seem great but have 2 ?'s

[jhr1948]

hi scharfis_brain had helped me w/a pal dvd that i wanted to convert to ntsc. found out it had blended fields. so he helped with this script:
import("restore24.avs")
loadplugin("masktools.dll")
loadplugin("tdeint.dll")
loadplugin("leakkerneldeint.dll")
LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")
loadplugin("avisynth_c.dll")
loadcplugin("smartdecimate.dll")
loadCplugin("ibob.dll")

Mpeg2Source("3.d2v",cpu=4)
a2=r24kernelbob(0)
b2=TDeint(mode=1,type=2,tryweave=false,full=true)
restore24(a2, b2)
LanczosResize(width,480,0,2,width,572)

great results, but have 2 questions.
1. when fade out & fade ins happen, it's blocky. i though it was the mpeg encode, but it actually is in the avi i made w/the restore24 script (i used lagarith lossless codec). the dvd doesn't look like that so i know its not the source. i'm really new to this level of video. any recommendations to my restore24 script that may take the blockiness out. (a pic is attached)

2. there is a wierd well... i hear the word ghosting thrown around and it think this is what is meant. so every so often frames have that ghost look. i assume there is nothing that can be done considering the source i'm working w/is a blended field dvd. but if there's a tweak that can help i'm all ears.

thanks for all, especially neuron2 & scharfis_brain

you could try lowering (i think) mThreshL in tdeint. the blocks are _probably_ coming from there, but to be honest i don't use restore24 unless i have no other choice (speed reasons...).

thanks for the reply
this is pretty new to me, so i fiddled w/the mthreshC&mthreshL numbers. when i went lower, it didn't do anything. then i changed the numbers to 20 and its perfect. no blockiness, now i'm not really sure if there are drawbacks to going too high or so. so i didn't try any # below 20 since that seemed to fix the problem.

as far as the ghosting goes, is there really nothing else i can tweak to make some of that go away or be less obvious?

thanks for the help so far
