Deinterlace is not working

[halfbakedj14]

I am trying to convert a .vob file to a .avi with xvid as the codec. Under Post Processing I have "deinterlace" checked, but my final converted video still has the interlaced lines, it isnt smooth like it should be. I have selected every deinterlace mode that is available in the drop down menu in the Video Filter settings and still get an interlaced video. Any idea on how to solve this?

First you need to set post-processing to enabled.

I just did a test conversion from VOB/MPEG2 to H.264 with deinterlace enabled and it did not deinterlace. This used to work in older version. I suspect a bug has crept in.

My conclusion is based on visual inspection rather than analyzing the movie but I'm pretty good at spotting interlacing. In fact, I came to the forum to check and see if anyone else had this problem.

So I'm voting there's a problem here.

Can you help do this:
Switch to expert mode, and paste me the text in video command.

First you need to set post-processing to enabled.

That is what I was doing. I went to "Picture" then clicked "Post Processing" then clicked "Deinterlace", and still got an interlaced file. I switched to expert mode and click on the Video Options tab at the bottom and here is the text it display's:
".\mplayer\mencoder.exe" "$(SourceFile)" -vf scale=496:400:0:0::,pp=ha:cva:cal:c/lb,harddup -ovc xvid -xvidencopts threads=1:trellis:chroma_me:chroma_opt:hq_ac:quant_type=h263:max_bframes=2:me_quality=6:bitrate=$(VideoBitrate) -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=2:q=6:highpassfreq=-1:lowpassfreq=-1 -o "$(DestFile)"

I even select "Video Filter" -> "Postprocessing" -> "Deinterlace" -> "FFmpeg filter" or other deinterlace option(Sure also had the postprocessing option enabled at the "Picture" tab). It seem no deinterlace process were performed. The output video(Xvid .avi) still seeing horizontal lines around image.

I have done exactly everything you have aas well and still end up with horizontal lines too. Glad to see I am not the only one who has this problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I don't know, just leave MediaCoder alone until someone can answer this question. This app is much like for testing only, currently can't be relied on for serious purpose.

With deinterlace enabled:

The "/lb" is the only change I see but I haven't done a thorough analysis. Thanks for taking a look Stanley!

I have deinterlacing on in this configuration but it is clearly not deinterlacing.

I'm converting these to FLVs so I'l deinterlace on that step.

Code: Select all
