Pokemon Troubles

Postby Hiro The Dragon King » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:46 pm

I have honestly never seen a DVD this bad before. This is worse than R1 Evangelion. They literally just ported the tapes onto DVDs. Can you guys give me some advice on how to clean this up?

Here is a three frame sequence that pretty much speaks for the whole disc.

I'm terrified, though, that you'll respond with "What script? This is straight off the DVD!".

You have not worked with PAL encodes, have you?

It is straight from the DVD. Although I do have a script for it already, I was just going to find out what you guys would have recommended.

Hmm... no.

Not having worked with encodes this bad before (that second frame screams "we resized this vertically AFTER interlacing it"), my first instinct would be to try a standard IVTC and hope that the bad frames would be the ones to get decimated, so something like this:

TFM(d2v="[your filename here]")
TDecimate(mode=0)


(I usually use mode=1 with TDecimate, which decimates one frame in the longest run of duplicates in each cycle, but that is not appropriate here because we are more concerned with getting rid of bad frames.)
