im not a newbie to encoding nor am i some sort of expert but i wonder why is deinterlacing or ivtc so tedious and annoying (at times. not always) yet a media player can.decode and display it flawlessly for example
i bought a new dvd (animated. no its not anime so dont get excited) and i wanted to encode the vobs to xvid which is simple even.if i need to deinterlace. but it takes tinkering and test after test to see if il filtering it to what i want and i just wonder why we cant set deinterlace ON and expect what we get at playback from the vobs
im not ignorant i knoe not one size fits all needs. but yes its been eating at me for awhile
oh and as for the dvd i mentioned it was 2:3 pulldown but then it was encoded as progressive :s
so i had to IVTC (manual)>deinterlace(manual)>resize (anamorphic source) and i still see faint duplicate/half fileds during playback they are hard to spot but you are like "did i just see a random blur?"
IVTC alone did not suffice which is where the deinterlace helped i was using an external.filter calld smar deinterlace (usually inbuilt one is great. but one size doesnt fit all  )
anyways if u got this far thanks for staying on board to the end 
edit: sorry for typos im using a mobile device

i think i should clarify my "rant" a bit better
when a Tv or software player plays back for example an interlaced VOB (mpeg2 stream)
it has to deinterlace and then display the frame , in the old days of CRT deinterlace wasnt neccesary i think, the refresh rate made it seem like whole frames
now when i go to encode the output is interlaced (yuck!) so then i must deinterlace
now why is it that when its played back from VOB it displays fine but when i deinterlace i get artifacts?
why doesnt the output to the encode match what i see when i playback the source?
i hope i have cleaned up my original question now |

What you see on the screen is alternating fields which come and go.
What you see on the screen in virtualdub is two combined fields into one.
How you combine the fields produces different results.
Some programs do it better than others.
I think in general, they need to eliminate the useless interlacing technology.
I know someone is going to chime in and say that interlacing produces better panning results.
A feature which you can compensate for and remove the headaches of dealing with such format. |

So even on my LCD monitor the interlacing is still there? i thought field alternating only worked on CRT 
and i do so agree it should just be progressive, we have the storage, the devices are capable and we are very much in the digital era most of these technologies 2:3 and Interlacing are/were suited to Analog and performance/bandwidth constrained environments
lol you may even find they use it just as a ripping deterrent
as for the IVTC is it sort of hit and miss like it is with Deinterlacing?
because my process above removes most but i see one blurred frame every 1-in-4 (i believe this is a bed reconstruction or something) 
i cud probably produce screenshots if that helps
(to show whats going on)
oh! and thankyou for your reply

it depends on what program is playing back the media.
if i play the same media with media player 12 and quicktime, i get two completely different results.
if you play it vdub, you see both fields.
if you play it on a tv, you might actually play interlaced media.
bottom line, different displays and players pamper the video differently.
i made this video for comparing deinterlacing techniques a while ago
try just compressing to xvid and see what the results are
http://evropej.com/deinterlacing/deinterlacing.html
you might have to do things in multiple steps |

great video
and in that video you have the same deinterlace filter as me (Smart Deinterlacer) altho i have some sort of beta version
altho my issue is Telecine related do you have any suggestion for that? |

Thanks
Sorry I cant help you with tc since I dont work with it much.
Have you tried other encoders to see what they do with the video?
Try for example freemake video converter
I have found that in most cases, it does a great job and take the headache out of messing with filters and settings.
Maybe some of the developers can help you out with this one as well.

i'll try it out, ill probably output it to something lossless (LAGS is good) then VDub it
and maybe they cna help, it depends how many are wandering around this subforum |

freemake didnt work :S
in fact it produced what i would call a bad encode 
the combed frames were ripped out (so it jerked on panning) also all the complete frames were blocked/fuzzed like deinterlacing without interpolation of any kind (think of a nearest neighbour resize)
in the images i previously posted there is a sort of prediction frame,
it half appears when the object is about to move in the next frame,
im not sure i can get rid of them (would cause jerking)
but i wouldnt mind if i could merg the two combed frames together and if needed interpolating them
maybe thats what im already doing with the IVTC filter, but i just wanna clean up my output as much as i can |

You ever look at MSU filters for options?

Hi to Everyone
I was searching Threads about deinterlacing filters in VirtualDub Forum, and with an similar video sample, I have a questions about this problem. How to remove 3:2 pulldown, as "cvx" member have done in it processing? If anyone know how I can do this procedure step-by-step, and with the best settings (I don't know how I could make this, or did it before. I have only applied basically sharpen and blur filters before), I would thank very much. I would like suggestions about my problem. Before, I was thinking that the video, since that is "Progressive", would be necessary an interpolation, that possible to make with "MVTools" (AviSynth filter), and with an interpolated video output, apply some deinterlacing filter, or processing with some technique. But seeing the case of "cvx", I can percept that an Progressive video can also be deinterlaced, and that being "Pulldown". I have collected two samples from YouTube for this same video. I have saw before other program for remove pulldown, the TMPGEnc, but this program expires after certain time, and no has all options as VirtualDub, and with the same quality. Links of reference:

I would like to know how can I process this video, with the better results, and what procedures is possible do that? I'm quoting "cvx", because his video is "Progressive", and have a similar case with annoying "pulldown". And since that the container is AVC, how to avoid green frames in VirtualDub, with fccHandler plugins, in that case too? If the video is not "pulldown", what kind of procedures can I fix this video?

Obs.: Maybe some video processing technique and configuration steps used by evropej member could help for my case, in the part of deinterlacing of the video interpolation. I accept also a best script of AviSynth, that possibly would be very helpful, as I have notified in many cases in this Forum for more complex situations. I also don't know if the video does not contain "pulldown", and how to identify this, what could be clarified with GSpot (but I tested and don't found it ), together the specific and detailed information about "Aspect Ratio". Maybe this video was originally "Interlaced", and was bad converted for "Progressive".

Hi to Everyone
Since I was having doubts about the video interpolation, and want an understood people to clarify about these media subjects information, I have decided to contact the General Developer of MediaInfo Project, since I'm registred in SourceForge.net, for reporting bugs. Below is the conversation quoted by himself via e-mail:
Me:
| QUOTE | Other question, this that can be clarified by you, since you is the general developer of the
MediaInfo Project, is about the Interpolation of the video. See this snapshot made by
VLC:
Snapshot of the sample:
http://s12.postimage.org/v0r8lpe0t/problem_video_progressive.png
I want to know if the video is only Progressive, or by one fault of the MediaInfo, is not
clarified if the same is \"Pulldown\" too? I would thank very much if you can help, because I
need to edit this video collected from the YouTube for an personal necessity.
|
General Developer of the MediaInfo:
| QUOTE | This stream is progressive, period.
You may have anything else before digitalization, but it is not something you can detect digitally.
No pulldown. BTW, Pulldown is commonly seen for 30 fps streams (to 24 fps), not for 25 fps streams.
Jérôme |
Seeing this situation, I can conclude that the unique way is re-interpolate this bad converted video from "Interlaced" to "Progressive" (in the type Interlaced Interpolation) that it was thus originally, and with this Interlaced video (done with MVTools e.g.), I can apply some deinterlacing filter (could be QTGMC too), such as IVTC, what could more simple and efficient with an AviSynth script, because all procedures is already setted itself. I know that Doom9.Org Forum has a lot of topics about knowledges of AviSynth, but I need a more specific script for my case.
Obs.: Some additions from PM message of the "IanB" member, in respect of video processing of this sample media:
| QUOTE |
This is an example of progressive resizing of an interlaced image. It is generally consider irreversible, but many have tried to unwind the mash, some even had some minor successes.
|
I will open a new Topic, if I won't encounter some Thread about these filter types mentioned by IanB member in this Forum, but is also accepted AviSynth by me, if this be more efficient and with the best quality result, as I really want. Maybe it will be more difficult, but is not impossible, in some form. Please, could leave some suggestions, some people that be able to solves my indicated problems, even if in reference from another Forum? Also I would accepts some commentary of people that understand this case, because I need to process this video for a personal necessity.
P.S.: I will move all comments for another Thread, depending of the discussion.
Could someone help me in these conditions?
Thanks.
I wait return,
L.H.V.F. . |
