View Full Version : Family Guy... damn sloppy Telecines

I am so damn fed up with the horribly crappy method used to Telecine Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons, etc. I've yet to find a solution to it, but I'm absolutely someone here has it. So if you're that person, please please read this.

Allow me to explain this completely: I am attempting to rip my Family Guy DVDs to XviD-Ogg MKV. I like MKV. Anyway, as with every other attempt I've made at converting Fox animation in the past, it's coming out horribly. DGIndex is unable to do an IVTC on it -- at least without making the video incredibly jerky -- and the Telecide-Decimate routine built into GK leaves behind jaggies. (Or is that called "combing"?) I've updated to the latest Decomb as well; no luck. I've read a few guides on possible IVTC procedures but I'd rather ask if anybody knows, offhand, what filters and settings work for Family Guy before I start guessing and checking. And I am of course open to advice. Advice that doesn't involve Deinterlacing. :P

I'm working on season 1 and 2 of those myself(R1), most of the visual problems are caused by blended fields, which are readily fixed with the restore24 script... Now if I could just fix the jumping lines that appear in some scenes, anyone have any ideas?

Hrrm, I tried out restore24 and it came out with massive pixelization whenever there was movement, atop jerky motion. I'm sure I used it right; I plugged in the proper numbers and got the correct framerate, even used the best and slowest render method. For some reason it's not liking my source.
