Gee whizz! Look at what I stepped in![reconstructing frames]

I stepped in the X movie DVD.

First, I want to say that this movie must have been interlaced by Satan himself. I want to reconstruct the original movie frames and I'll do whatever it takes to acomplish it. What filters/scripts/unholy chants from the necronomicon must I use to get it back to the way it should be?

Try checking with Beowulf, he did an amv with X and chemical brothers (although, he might have used X TV

)

I did an X AMV last year... and I promised myself to not do it again

The bottomline is: it's not possible to reconstruct the original frames, since the idiots who produced the DVD put interlace artifacts in both the even and odd fields (basically it's possible to reconstruct only 1 frame out of 5

)

My suggestion at this point would be just to not IVTC and deinterlace instead (or, if you are brave enough, do the IVTC and then deinterlace what's left).

I really, really, really share your pain man...

Isn't there a way to manually IVTC a movie in TMPG? I mean, there must be SOMETHING?? I just want it to stand on the record that I WILL sell my soul to the devil if that's what it takes.

You can't IVTC if they did the 'TC' part wrong

.

It sounds like they royally fucked the disc up.

would you like screens? I'd be more than happy to share the pain.

Any ideas for deinterlacing and then removing the extra frames?

If you want FILM FPS footage, do this...deinterlace and then remove 5 frames per second, although in most cases that gives jerky frames

Which is what I want to aviod. I only want ot kill the frames that shouldn't be there. (Which I'm guessing would be the frames with the ghosting after I deinterlace.) Which brings me back the the manual IVTCing.

a long while ago when I was just noob learning deinterlacing methods, I ran into the same problem when trying to rip and reencode the X movie. One method that worked...but I wouldn't recommend trying unless you were really...REALLY depserate...is to use Vdub's "Field Bob" filter, using smooth on both odd and even fields. As I said, unless you are really desparate and there is no other way, then you should try this, cause your not gonna get the best results from it.
