DivX encoding - 2 questions

Yeah... go back and redo your d2v files.

The eva platinum discs are PROGRESSIVE so you can use Force Film and skip the IVTC section altogether.

You do not need to inverse telecine. Eva renewal is film, so just use force film when making the d2v file.

Although I don't have the dvd, here's a script I think would work fine after you force film:

mpeg2source("D:\EVANGELION_VOL_1_PLATINUM\ep1\ep1.d2v")
deen("a3d",4,5,8)
Crop(8,4,-8,-4)
LanczosResize(640,480)
VobSub("D:\EVANGELION_VOL_1_PLATINUM\ep1\vts_01_0")

I never use a3d mode with deen, so I'm not certain on that setting. I assume the parameters used are radius, luma smoothing, & chroma smoothing.

Oh, didnt realize that...

When I did preview in DVD2AVI it said NTSC and Interlaced, and I can see combing in scenes with motion...I'll go ahead and give it a try with forced film though.

Maybe I don't quite understand interlacing...I did forced film, but there now appears to be combing in the video. I took a frame from virtualdubmod:

And this one includes the FieldDeinterlace() command:

That one looks much more normal when the video is playing.

Theres a lot of this in different scenes. Keep in mind this is after LanczosResize was performed, and before any final compression.

Here's the script I am now using:

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("D:\EVANGELION_VOL_1_PLATINUM\ep1\ep1.d2v",ipp=true,cpu=4)
Crop(6,2,-6,-2)
ConvertToYV12()
deen("a3d",4,5,8)
LanczosResize(640,480)

Is what I am seeing in this frame called "combing?" If so, I am now confused as to the nature of the interlacing on this DVD. It makes sense that it would be progressive, seeing as how it is from the remastered Renewal set, yet it appears to me, from my experience and from reading the quide, that this is an interlaced source.

I guess my question is now what do i need to do to get rid of this? Sorry to sound like such a newbie but I thought I had it kinda figured out...

are you certain you remade the d2v file with Force FILM selected?

zapb42 · Post by **zapb42** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 6:58 pm

Yes, I just reindexed it to a new d2v file, making sure forced film was on, with the same results.

From checking around, it would appear that ADV fucked up once again and didn't encode the dvds as progressive. Further advancing my hatred for their company.

That sucks,

so i should put in FieldDeinterlace()?

no, in this case you should use Telecide and Decimate - the field pattern should be easily correctable with those.
