FLCL on PAL DVD's: Hell on earth?

Post by LenWidleheyt » Sun May 01, 2005 10:16 am

I just got FLCL on DVD. In PAL format. To get straight to the point: is there someone else out there who has made the same mistake, and seriously tried to clean up the footage? In particular, have you managed to remove the interlacing in a decent way?

FLCL was, apparantly, converted from NTSC to PAL using Full Field Blending, which makes it very very ugly. AD's and ErMaC's guide is a quite discouraging read when you're stuck with this... Here's the best AVISynth script I've come up with so far to fix it:

LoadTDeint()
TDeint(mode=1,order=1)
Unblend(threshold=5, dthresh=0.03, show=false)
Decimate(4).Decimate(3)

This seems to get rid of almost all the blended frames (sort of), but instead leaves a lot of ghostly outlines (in the luma channel, I think) from frames before and after the current one.

Have you faced the same problem and discovered a better way to fix it? Or do you know of a good way to get rid of those outlines?
