Deinterlacing Methods for Capped Video

Just curious what kinda deinterlacing people do, perhaps give a full sample script from AVISynth or whatever. I hope there is some unrealised magical deinterlacing method I havn't heard of because Telecide is really annoying and I feel that there is a proper way I am missing. This is deinterlacing of captured VIDEO only. Not DVD as results are different, hail artifacts.

100% ack. I'm currently using seperatefields() and deinterlace smooth afterwards. One question I never asked: Do Vdub filters other than deinterlacers usually process the whole frame or the single fields? I'm asking for a reason. Imagine a simple filter chain like this: Deinterlace - unfold spatial smoother - 5,5 Deinterlace - fold Deinterlacer of your choice It gave a different result from this, compared via Paint Shop Pro: spatial smoother - 5,5 Deinterlacer of your choice If Vdub filters would be processing field wise, the results would have to be identical, wouldn't they? Despites that, the first chain gives pretty good results, just check the sample of drowning in my post regards the frame drops.

I don't deinterlace anymore :) . Unless I capture some blended fields crap ;) ... Say "no" to deinterlacing! :D I always got the best results with the Area based deinterlacer, but that has been ages ago and probably due to my laziness to learn other deinterlacers properly. You can find dozens (probably hundreds) of postings, articels etc. so you can forget about the "magic way". There is none... If there would be, then you would have no variables and no different algorithms :) . Cheers, Mijo.

Yahoooo! Just read that the new DivX 5.0.3 can save interlaced video. From now on, at least me will never deinterlace caps again! I'd rather use some DS based deinteracer when watching on the PC. Is there something out which does this job good? /*edit Found something, ffdshow! edit*/

>Just read that the new DivX 5.0.3 can save interlaced video no news..... so can xvid or even divx3

I was kidding. :rolleyes:

I use a DirectShow filter to deinterlace on the fly during capture, called Leadtek YUY2 Deinterlace -- came with my card, Leadtek Winfast 2000XP. After removing the noise (via Convolution3d) the result is much nicer than capturing interlaced and trying to deinterlace with AviSynth/VDUB. I capture from digital cable via S-Video. I tried to do this method with the tuner, but there is too much noise to eliminate.

I've found FFDshow's on-the-fly deinterlacing option works well also :'>
