Interlacing/Ghosting

[Hagaren Viper]

You know, I usually don't have THIS much trouble with footage...

Spoiler :

So I ripped some footage from my shiny game disk, but some parts come in pretty interlaced. That's not so bad itself, but when I try to fix it, I either get some ghosting/color blending, or the interlacing gets worse. I've tried pretty much everything from the guides, but this is the best I have gotten it.

So, am I basically gonna have to deal with the ghosting? I'm not sure if that's really a part of the footage, or a side-effect of the deinterlacing. Hopefully it's the latter.

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("01 Burn my Dread.m2v")
ConvertToYV12()
AssumeFPS(29.970)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)
LoadTDeint()
TDeint(mode=1,order=1)
BlendBob()
FFT3DFilter()
limitedsharpen(strength=100)
fastlinedarken(strength=50,thinning=0)

I don't know why, but the second screenshot made me think "Persona 3".

Why do you have Deen *before* the deinterlacing? I'd think that would screw up the deinterlacers quite a bit.

So the footage doesn't match the usual telecine pattern (three okay frames followed by two combed ones)?

Bingo!

I was just informed that was a bad idea, actually. Which actually helped a freakin' LOT. But the footage still has oddities that pop up.

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("01 Burn my Dread.m2v")
ConvertToYV12()
Telecide(1)
Decimate(5)
Assumefps(29.97)
awarpsharp()
fastlinedarken(strength=50,thinning=0)
limitedsharpen(strength=100)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)

So the interlacing problem is pretty much gone, but there's still some bad chroma going on, which I really don't know if it's fixable or not.

Jeez...the more I go through my Persona 3 footage after ripping Persona 4, the more I realize how bad some of these scenes look quality wise...

Why would you sharpen then smooth your footage? deen goes before the sharpen plugins.

Try this:

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("01 Burn my Dread.m2v")
ConvertToYV12()
Telecide(1)
Decimate(5)
Assumefps(29.97)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)
awarpsharp()
fastlinedarken(strength=50,thinning=0)
limitedsharpen(strength=100)

Thaaats a good question actually. Guess I wasn't paying attention, I usually don't have my scripts set up that way.
