In a Bit of a Jam...

[CodeZTM]

Ok, so long story short, I'm an idiot that was trying a new clipping method to get footage and it didn't go very well. I edited directly with an unprocessed Mp4 [with the intention of post-processing most of the issues], but forgot that you really can't pull that shit with IVTC very well. [Told you I was an idiot!]

I have the DVD's, and I can get the footage looking great otherwise, but it would essentially mean I'd have to re-do the entire AMV or spend days reprocessing the entire DVD footage through ZarxGui [imagine that nightmare of 2hours processing with a IVTC script...]. Considering its about 3 weeks in the making, I'd prefer not to have to do either of these.

So right now I've got footage like this:

Without Processing
With Processing

Code: Select all

AVISource("C:\Users\Zackary Murdoch\Desktop\Sequence 01_1.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
TFM(slow=2, pp=5, clip2=TDeint(mode=2, type=3))
TDecimate() 
naa()

Any assistance would be fantastic. My knowledge of Avisynth can be put into a tablespoon, so any assistance would be very greatly helped. This is also the LAST time I ever try something so ridiculously stupid without thinking first. xD

oh .. I love you've done with Frame-Rate while ripping ^__^
.. you must let me know "how you did that"

.. made the same mistake a few times like that myself .. actually

you've ripped it at the wrong frame rate.
( have you seen the zarxfag-#-ripping.mp4 video's on this site .. on ripping ? )
(( there's like 6 video's in all .. ))

-- just an idea!

Are you sure about that? I'm double checking it with a quick re-rip, but I'm almost positive that I ripped at 29.97 [which teh source footage is].

What's your source? Most anime DVDs index as FILM (23.976).

Fruits Basket Slimpack DVDs. DGindex read it as 29.97, so that's where I ripped it as.

... since when? For anything that's not a movie, I haven't noticed this becoming common until very recently with Bandai's releases of things like Code Geass and TMoSH. I'm used to always having to IVTC everything.

I missed the word recent in there Sorry - last 23 or 24 discs i've ripped have all been 23.976. Skewed my perception a bit since that's all i've ripped in the last 3 years.

well you could just use a deinterlacer like Tdeint and leave the fps as is...

I think that's pretty much beyond repare now.
If you don't want to re-edit it, but are fine with processing the dvd again, I would suggest using tfm but not tdecimate or anything else when you prepare your clips from the ripped DVD, then use these clips to re-export the video and tdecimate that.
Since you edited the video at 29.97, doing IVTC first would fuck up bad the sync and everything, you'll have to decimate later due to that. Aside for that, though, that should work.
And no, 2 hours of processing without much else to do is far from a nightmare in my experience, so I can't really feel for you. Besides, just running tfm and no other filter should be pretty fast.
