Full Field Blended Sources

Lockstock · Post by **Lockstock** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 2:26 am

Considering my Australian origin all the DVDs that I own are PAL and like many PAL dvd's are all Full Field Blended Sources... frustrating....

anyway, I've been working on some Avisynth Scripts and such to try and clear up as much of the interlacing as posible however i've only been able so much.

methods that have been slightly effective so far:

unblend()
decimate(quality=3)
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true, doublerate=false)

This got rid of quite a bit of the interlacing (considering it was occuring every 2nd frame... however there was still quite a bit left...

unblend()
decimate()
Telecide(order=0,guide=1,post=4)

This left a bit of interlacing still and didnt blend the frames as well as the previous method...

I've tried quite a few things so if anyone else has a better method it'de be very much appreciated...

I have the same problem, and to be honest, there is no definite way for you to de-interlace full-field blended footage, you'll have to experiment for each source you use, but i do suggest you try some of the other de-interlacers in the amvapp, like tomsmocomp and kerneldeint (particularly the latter)

Also: telecide probably wont help that much in terms of de-interlacing, or at least i don't find that it does.

if full field blending means what I think it means (which is ntsc>pal blendconversion), you might want to try restore24 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75432). It can (if the effect is limited to once every two or three frames) restore the original frames of the film source. I've tried it on two different pal dvd's, but the blending was too bad to restore anything. It might work for you though.
