Hey guys,
Sort of a long post but I want to be very clear about what I have already done so I don’t waste anybody’s time later on.
I've been having some issues with deinterlacing a set of movies that have a combo of hard & soft telecine. (I tried DGpulldown first and ended up a couple milliseconds off on the audio which is how I figured out it's mixed). I'm currently trying to use avisynth using Captain Khajiit's HCenc guide and I'm not sure it's doing anything (still looks interlaced when I flip through it in virtualdub). I did get it to work on a version of one of the files previously that I copied slightly differently (as a dvd5 vs 9’s) which makes me think it should still work.
Summary of project so far:
Standard dvds
Used dvdfab to copy files
demuxed using pgcdemux
Used dgindex and saved as .d2v’s
This is the script I've been using:
This is from mediainfo:
They show as 23.976 fps in mediainfo but 29.97 in dgindex, which is expected, right?
Stuff I've tried:
Turning my computer on and off again (seriously)
Uninstalled and reinstalled avisynth
made sure the pgdecode.dll and tivtc.dll plugins are in the avisynth plugin dir
Rewrote my scripts several times by hand, checked file locations
Tried a different file from the set (I'm recutting the Hobbit trilogy)
Here's some kinda dumb questions I have:
I’m struggling to understand exactly how avisynth works. When I run avisynth on .d2v does it actually alter the mpeg-2? Should I start over with a pristine copy of the mpeg-2 if I want to try a different script?
Does it matter where i keep the avisynth script on my computer, or what I name it?
(Not quite related to the topic of this thread, but: If I'm trying to calculate the average bitrate for something that came from two dvds that I intend to put together after cutting bits of both, how does that affect encoding or how to approach calculating disc space?)
Like I mentioned, I have gotten this to work on a copy I made of one of these DVDs before, so I’m sure I’m just f-ing it up somewhere. I’m new at this so maybe if I understand things a bit better I’ll be able to fix it on my own. I’d like to think I’m pretty tenacious about things but I’m not sure how to handle this anymore, so thanks for any help!
