Deinterlace 25 FPS DVD to 23,976 FPS Progressive

[masagrator]

It's my first time with 25 FPS Interlaced video. I don't know how to take this.
Video players are deinterlacing it without issue, so it's not that video is screwed.

I tried QTGMC, TFM, yadifmod, DGSource. In every case is 25 FPS Progressive or 50 FPS Progressive, both are smoothing with interlace artifacts.

I guess you could just (after Deinterlace)

Last=Deint.AssumeFPS(24000,1001,Sync_Audio=true) # play clip a bit slower, whilst keeping audio sync
Last=ReSampleAudio(Deint.AudioRate) # original sample rate
Return Last

But above will result in change in audio pitch, might wanna look up TimeStretch here on forum.
On Wiki:- http://avisynth.nl/index.php/TimeStretch

EDIT: Maybe see here:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...35#post1810135

Demo using Colorbars

Function TimeStretchTempo(clip InC,Float OutNum,Float "OutDen") { 
    # http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...35#post1810135
    # Returns Timestretch() Tempo arg, to change playback tempo when changing VideoFramerate, without changing pitch: 
    Num    = InC.FrameRateNumerator      
    Den    = InC.FrameRateDenominator
    OutDen = Default(OutDen,1.0).Float
    Assert(0.0<OutNum,String(OutNum,"TempoAsPercent: 0.0 < OutNum(%f)"))
    Assert(0.0<OutDen,String(OutDen,"TempoAsPercent: 0.0 < OutDen(%f)"))
    Return 100.0 * OutNum * Den / (OutDen * Num)               # All are Coerced to Float (v2.58 Incl)    
}


InC=ColorBars
IFPS=25.0
InC=InC.AssumeFPS(IFPS)                                        # Input simulated FPS : Audio No Change
InC=InC.Trim(0,-(25*60)) # EDIT: Added, make 25 FPS 60 second clip (25*60 frames)

ONUM=24000 # More Accurate than 23.976
ODEN=1001  # Ditto

Tempo=InC.TimeStretchTempo(ONUM,ODEN)                          # Calc Required Tempo keeping same pitch as InC

OutAudio=InC.TimeStretch(tempo=Tempo).ResampleAudio(InC.AudioRate)   # Stretch and back to Original SampleRate
                                                               # SSRC() can fail with some ratios, 
                                                               # ResampleAudio() almost no different to SSRC() for some years.
                                                               
OutC=InC.AssumeFPS(ONUM,ODEN,Sync_Audio=False)                 # Output Video rate leaving Audio as was

Last=OutC.AudioDub(Outaudio)                                   # Result Explicit assign to Last (no reason)

#RT_Subtitle("InFPS=%f : OutFPS=%f : Tempo=%f%%",InC.FrameRate,FrameRate,Tempo)
Subtitle(String(InC.FrameRate,"InFPS=%.3f") + String(FrameRate," : OutFPS=%.3f") + String(Tempo," : Tempo=%f%%"))

EDIT: Removed RT_Subtitle requirement.

EDIT: NOTE, both clip and audio will change length (due to lower FPS) showing ~62.56 seconds.

EDIT: An alternative is to miss out a frame every second or so, but that would produce a jerk every second,
or interpolate to lower framerate which will likely look somewhat worse than original.

What do you mean, "interlace artifacts"?

[StainlessS]

Thanks kuchikirukia, guess I was focused on the 25->23.976 rather than the deinterlace thing.

I note that MediaInfo says Bottom Field First (nearly every PAL DVD I've played with was Top field First).
Perhaps needs Clip=Clip.AssumeBFF() prior to Deinterlace. [or set whatever deinterlacer option is to choose BFF field order]
EDIT: Can never remember what the default field order is.
You can check for field order with

AssumeBFF
#AssumeTFF
SeparateFields

Resize in Vdub2 to about correct size and look for backwards forwards jumping, if so then try the alternate field order.
When true field order ascertained, remove the SeperateFields, and keep the correct field order for deinterlace.

Default is BFF.

Same question. How can you have interlace artifacts after deinterlacing?
And why does the frame rate have to be 23.976? Is this a film-based movie?

I think we need a sample of this video.

No one should have to guess. Nor should we even have to ask for a sample from the source. 10 seconds of steady motion will be plenty.

[masagrator]

Ok, sorry for delay.

Here is the sample of file.

It's an anime which is always in 23.976 (with few old exceptions). That's why it should be 25->23.976.

Flapping lips are not 'steady motion'. And not an MKV. Demux the M2V from the VOB using DGIndex.

Edit: However, there's probably enough there to tell what's going on. It's standard field-blended garbage:

Yadif(Mode=1)## or the better bobber of your choice
SRestore()

Then I can virtually guarantee that something went horribly wrong during the original NTSC -> PAL conversion and your DVD footage itself is fuxx0red.
