Hi, a question about interlacing....

I am at the part of ermacs and absolutedestiny's guide about analysing your footage. I stick the avs script in virtualdubmod and run through it but Im having a hard time determining if what im seeing is interlacing or just some type of faded image. Most of the episode no movement is shown with interlacing or this faded image type thing. In the f5 preview in dgindex, it also told me the whole episode was NTSC and progressive. Is there anyway before I start to extensively edit in adobe premiere pro to know 100% sure im not dealing with interlaced footage? Thanks!

just open your avs script in WMP or something and watch it. skip to a part where theres alot of movement like a fight scene. you'll be able to tell if it's interlaced

The faded parts are probably blended frames sometimes put there by the animators on purpose to enhance the illusion of movement.

btw, what is the anime you are using?

Ah ok yah see what I think im seeing is just blended frames. Im using hellsing, Im ripping episode 2 now, and Ive seen this blended frames thing at various parts in the episode but it is the male/female vampire duo, and the guy is yelling at Alucard. His mouth uses that blended frames sorta thing. Ill try to do what you said too minion. Thanks for the help!

Actually one quick question since I got your attention hehe, In DGindex the automatic setting for me in Video IDCT Algorithm is 32-bit SSE2 MMX but the guide says to use 32-bit SSE MMX. Is there a difference for it to matter? If so which should I use? Thanks again for your help!

It will depend on whether your CPU supports SSE2 or not. The difference is probably not that great either way.

Cool ill check to see if it does. So not a big difference? Kk Im not worried about it then, Ill probably just stick with what the guide says anyways. Thanks!
