You mean deinterlacing. ;) I wonder how this should work. With "PP=0" you tell TFM to do nothing:
TFM description wrote:PP -

Sets the post-processing mode. This controls how TFM should handle (or not handle)
any combed frames that come out of the field matching process. Possible options
are:

0 - nothing (don't even look for combed frames)
1 - find/hint combed frames but don't deinterlace
2 - dumb blend deinterlacing
3 - dumb cubic interpolation deinterlacing
4 - dumb modified-ela deinterlacing
5 - motion-adaptive blend deinterlacing
6 - motion-adaptive cubic interpolation deinterlacing
7 - motion-adaptive modified-ela deinterlacing

And TComb states clearly in its description that is has to be done before any deinterlacing or IVTC.
Tcomb description wrote:It must be used before ivtc or deinterlace in order to work.
So in your case it works because you aren't doing any deinterlacing with "PP=0". Otherwise you have to use it before TFM.

Krisgo wrote:As for the rest... It's not nonsense.
Really? What about the SDDerainbow() ? Not only that you already do derainbowing with Tcomb(), you use it after cleaning, sharpening and FastLineDarken. I don't have a description, but possibly it must be used before deinterlacing too, if it is necessary after Tcomb() at all.

I don't really know. I just threw all that stuff in there and it worked.

TComb took out the dot craw as I said, but there was still a hell of a lot rainbowing and I think it was Scintilla who suggested SSDerainbow. And about the order... Zarxrax said it was in a logical order so I stuck with it o.O

The result is in the video in my siggy if you haven't looked at it yet. I'm just went with what the others told me (and they are respectible people)

Stupid question of the day:

What is the command "TFM"?

When I am editing the script in VMD, It doesn't seem to recognize it. I don't see this command being referenced in the Guides either.

What am I missing?

From Help File wrote:TFM is a field matching filter that recovers the original progressive frames from a
telecined stream. It does not decimate the resulting duplicate frames though, so to
achieve an ivtc you must follow TFM with a decimation filter such as TDecimate(), which
is also included in the TIVTC dll.


It does not work because you have not downloaded the TIVTC plugin. You can get it <a href="http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/">here</a> Just scroll until you see TIVTC. Download and extract to your AviSynth Plug-ins folder.

I'm still messing with it, but it seems to be one of the more used deinterlacing functions right now.

So (if I follow Scintilla's comments earlier in this thread) the typical:

Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=false,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)

Type functions are old hat now? Most people use this other one?

If so, does that mean Telecide and Decimate are useful but the this new thing is even more effiicent?

Myself personally, I tend to switch back and forth. I've had some problems getting TIVTC to work for me (since I'm still an AVIsynth noob) and then i go back and used the old Telecide/Decimate combo. But TFM is something to look into. All I can say is read the documentation and learn what everything does first. Then play around with it in your free time.

I find Telecice/Decimate to be a good place for noobs to begin so they can understand IVTC. TFM is kinda easy, but can be a bitch to tweak. I still run into some botched Inverse telecining myself so I can't explain how it is supposed to work. But I'm sure a more knowledgeable member will be around at some point and they can offer better insight.

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

That's Manga Entertainment for you. Did the same thing to the two Eva movies and Macross Plus: Movie Edition (the latter of which is 4:3 as it is, with gratuitous borders still equaling out to 4:3 and hardsubs). X/1999 isn't quite that bad from what I remember, but it's not much better either.

My script for FLCL:
Code: Select all
MPEG2Source("C:\FLCL_V1\FLCL_V1.d2v", cpu=4)
Telecide(order=1, guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2, quality=3)
Crop(8, 0, -4, -0) #(8) from the left is for ep 3 else (4) is ok
LanczosResize(720, 480) #adjust to fit your project

Godix: I see what you mean about the original Eva. I used the script on the AMVwiki site as a start and I still can't get that footage to look better.

My first 2 AMVs we're just ripped using a 3rd party program straight to M-PEG 2's. I was hoping that ALL of the ugliness of my footage was because of that.

Seems to be only part of it.

It did help alot to turn up the contrast and just add a touch of saturation using Tweak... it's still pretty ugly.
