Animatrix top and bottem fields switching

[gavo]

hey,

I have my own copy of Animatrix, I through the rip in DGindex, It said 98 film, then at other parts it said progessive. It also was switching at one point from bottem to top fields. I'n very confused on what itvc method to do in AviSynth. I'm also ever more confused at what to do when I bring it into premiere and edit. As I'm not sure if I should resize all of it to something. I also want to project the final copy on a projector. Would I need to convert all footage to 4:3 or can I leave it at 16:9? Here are some jpg samples.

The field order info box is set based on the TFF of the first picture of a decode operation. If you change the start point, or if you single step on the timeline while the info box is up, you can change the order shown. I plan to improve this behavior in a future version. To get an accurate indication, load the VOBs, hit F5, and read the order box.

You have a high film percentage. You should use Force Film in DGIndex as your first and preferred option. If there are a few stray combs, then you can add a postprocessor like FieldDeinterlace(full=false).

there shouldn't be any non film bits in the animatrix - after all, it got a cinematic release, and is therefore (at least in theory) completely 24fps.

the bits that show as progressive are probably showing that way because they are static scenes and the original encoder didn't catch any 3:2 in that spot (it would look identical to progressive if the scene is static).

btw, has anyone seen the PAL version of this? it might be worth my getting, but only if it comes off a good master (funny i can be snobbish about that when i've encoded a fair number of field-blends myself...).

The 98 percent reading ...

There are sopposivly 9 films on this disk. I have the VHS version,
but only because VHS is my hobby on the side of other things, and
besides, it'w widescreen too, and I espcially love WS vhs sources.
.
The last time I captured the VHS version, it was all film, and there
were no problems with the IVTC process for each film. The percent
number you posted ( 98 ) is probably due to those 9 film's beginning
and ending credits between each film. (I did each film separately)
.
So, it should be film, and ok for all the other 9 films to be processed
as film w/ an IVTC method. Even when you see < 100 percent, and
based on above example excuse, you should be fine with setting to
Force Film. (I espectially liked the first film)

I have it at home (R2 of course) - haven't watched it in a while, but don't recall any serious badness. I think it was all 25p - I'll check again if you want.

*note that i suck a interlacing stuff*
but my way of overcoming switching tff\bff is with yatta's auto-switch function
so you may want to try it with whatever is your favorite ivtc filter
