Generally, the reason TIVTC is getting lots of praise and noteworthiness right now is for many of the same reasons DGIndex/DGDecode have become standard in place of DVD2AVI/MPEG2Dec3 - except that TIVTC isn't an evolution of Decomb. Like DVD2AVI, Decomb hasn't seen an update in a few years - whereas TIVTC is still being actively developed (and has already shown itself to garner better results in most cases).
Case in point: I've always absolutely hated Telecide because I could never seem to get good clean results with it - even if some frames were ok, others had lingering artifacts, sometimes it was interlace lines sticking around, or color glitching, and sometimes even bad color gradients. After scanning through TFM's readme, setting it for some of the most aggressive settings I could (which is the source of why the order=-1,mode=5,PP=7,field=-1,slow=2 settings are oft-cited: I mentioned using that on RahXephon back in March or April last year and getting success with those exact settings on other sources as well), and running it through, I couldn't see any of those things - the only thing was maybe some jagged lines which at first I dealt with by calling TIsophote, but more recently figured out that some of TDecimate's more advanced settings* helped minimize that (and with how fast such scenes were going to be played, it would probably not be that noticeable, if at all).
*in particular: mode=1, nt=2, m2PA=true, denoise=true
I wonder how this should work. With "PP=0" you tell TFM to do nothing:
