Problems Deinterlacing The Storyteller
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to fix Sony's disastrous NTSC DVD of The Storyteller, Jim Henson's mythical 1987 series. The first problem I have with interlacing. Supposedly the series was shot in 35 mm, but with a inverse telecine I don't get good results. Neither with filters such as QTGMC, TDeint, TMC ... I cannot eliminate residual images, ghosting, saw effect in the contours and other artifacts. Could anyone help me to fix and restore the video? This is a sample of the uncompressed DVD: https://mega.nz/file/LJwUnRpA#HU7b-P...TGjpupOyGKshP4 Thanks in advance. |

You need to use inverse telecine. QTGMC and TDeint are NOT inverse telecine.
For most 29.97 DVD movies that were telecined, all you need is the TIVTC package, and your script may be as simple as: TFM() TDecimate() |

But the 2nd is really there It's not perfect, you can't always perfectly deblend all sources. You can try playing with the settings |

Finally I'm using the PAL DVD, it has less quality but less interlacing problems.
After trying different combinations of filters I have used this script: Code:
MPEG2Source QTGMC() SelectEven() MCDegrainSharp() f3kdb() Grainfactory3() But McDegrainSharp produces some very unpleasant artifacts around the letters (like mosquito noise) and Grainfactory3 produces excessively intrusive grain. I have tried less aggressive settings but I find there are artifacts. Any ideas to improve the script? This is a sample from the DVD: https://mega.nz/file/XAhQVSyB#Jxtjpk...Ej7JVs4x1O3f-k Thanks! |

You could reduce the sharpening for McDegrainSharp, McDegrainSharp(csharp=0.6) = default, maybe try 0.3,
or switch off altogether using Mcdegrain(). EDIT: Here is latest test version of both script functions:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...03#post1926403 EDIT: With linked version, You could also try tm=false,Glob=true [tm==truemotion, some swear its better false].

A question, what do you think is better? McDegrainSharp or McDegrain + LSFMod combination? |

Sorry, dont know. I usually just use McDegrainSharp.
(By the way, new version McDegrainSharp not limited to Frames=3, wgere Frames=temporal range).
