Deinterlacing help

Hey, I've been following VicBond007's Guide to Working with DVD Footage for Use in AMVs
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... th_dvd.pdf

I'm working with Azumanga dvds right now. I've been trying to get the avs script for the first episode to open up correctly in virtualdubmod. It looks like this.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\Videos\Projects\azu_bestfriend\ep1.d2v", ipp=true)
Telecide(guide=1)
Decimate(quality=3)

This is what it looks like when I open it in Vdub.

Also, when I tried to give Telecide the Order variable, it would give a script error messege.

Any ideas?

Another thing I was wondering about which would make this all so much easier (and take up less space on the HD)...Is it ok to edit the dvd files directly in premiere pro 1.5 (by renaming the extension to .mpg so it recognizes them), make the amv, export it as a huffy, and then deinterlace with avi synth AFTER the amv is finished?

Thanks.

You could, but it can throw off your timing. And screw up any effects you do. So while yo can do it, it's probably not a good idea.

Try reading this.

I found that the reason I kept getting that error had to do with the version of avisynth i was using. Now I'm using version 2.5.6 and it's opening up right...now the problem is that it's not deinterlacing it (when I look at the frames in vdub).

Here's my current script. I looked at the guide you posted above. Thanks for that...I'll keep trying to get it to work.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\Videos\Projects\azu_bestfriend\ep1.d2v")
Telecide(order=0,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)

Ok, by using the show=true variable in telecide, I'm able to see all the info. It's correctly identifying all the interlaced frames as being interlaced, but I don't think it's decimating them correctly.

I tried
Decimate(quality=3) <---as the first guide suggests
and I tried
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2) <---as the other guide suggests

No difference really. Do I need to set the Dthresh as something?

Ok sorry for all the multiple posting (I'm sure there must be some reason for disabling post editing :p) but I got it working ^_^

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\Videos\Projects\azu_bestfriend\ep1.d2v")
Telecide(order=1)
Decimate(quality=3)

That's my final script. I think I just got the order wrong *feels stupid*
Anyways, look forward to an Azumanga amv with "You're My Best Friend" by Queen sometime in the future^
