if you see combing), keep interlacing by letting all filters OFF, setting Framerate (FPS) to "Same as source" and adding the parameter tff=1 or bff=1 (it looks like people often forget it) and detelecine by madVR at playback ( *). Hard-telecined movies: Detelecine at encoding with Detelecine: Default and Framerate (FPS): 23.976. (Enabling Detelecine: Default is no harmful, of course.) Soft-telecined movies: Detelecine at encoding. with madVR, add the flag "deint=film" in the file name of a film). Otherwise you have to select either type manually at encoding or video playback (e.g.
HANDBRAKE TO DVD DRIVERS
Right now only GPU drivers can differentiate them and apply the proper deinterlacing method, IVTC or video-mode deinterlacing. So hard-telecined film DVD is the same as video-based DVD: both are physically interlaced 29.97fps. There are repetitive fields (because originally there are only 2 x 23.976 fields per second) so that they have to be decimated, where Detelcine filter plays a role. Hard telecined: interlaced 29.97fps, or 59.94 fields per second. When encoding, select 23.976fps framerate and you will be fine even if all filters are off. Mediainfo would say Scan Type: Progressive. Most recent NTSC DVD movies (and all PAL DVD movies apart from 24fps vs. Soft telecined: actually progressive 23.976fps, only considered as interlaced 29.97fps by flags (whence 'Soft'). I am looking at HandBrake Wiki in Japanese. MO (Deinterlacing Mode): 0=diabled, 1=yadif, 2=Blend (Lowpass-5 Blending Interpolation) etc. Instead, you could choose Decomb with Custom settings, that requires even 17 parameters: MO:ME:MT:ST:FM:BT:BX:BY:MG:VA:LA: DI:ER:NO:MD P:FD. Of course don't forget to select Video tab > Framerate (FPS): 59.94 (Constant Framerate). QP (quantization parameter): 1 is default.įor example, try "15:-1:-1:1". MM (mcdeint mode): -1 means disabled, 0 (16x16 macroblock motion compensation), 1 (8x8), 2, 3. YM (Yadif mode), 15 is the proper one (resulting in 60fps)įD (field dominance, parity): -1 is auto, 0 is TFF, 1 is BFF.

Should you want to do deinterlacing at encoding, you have to choose "Custom" in Filter tab > Deinterlace and add the parameters YM:FD:MM:QP (a set of four parameters, each separated by colons) To do so let all filters OFF in Filter tab, add the parameter "tff=1" or "bff=1" in Video tab > Extra Options and select Video tab > Framerate (FPS): Same as source. music concerts, documentaries), I would keep interlacing and only do deinterlacing at playback. a 23.976fps progressive file that is properly IVTCed.Īs for video-based interlaced DVDs (e.g. Just select Filter tab > Detelecine: Default and Video tab > Framerate (FPS): 23.976 (Constant Framerate). Depending on your content, detelecine bight be advisable too.Ĭlick to expand.If you are re-encoding DVD, I feel why not deinterlace it, at least for "film". I'm not positive, but I think decombing is only useful for content that was interlaced, then converted to progressive, without actually deinterlacing.īut the short answer to your question, is when I'm ripping interlaced content with HandBrake, I just use the "Fast" deinterlace setting, and that's it for the filter page. If it doesn't autodetect, then deinterlacing progressive content is going to cause similar problems (it will likely appear blocky, instead of combed) So you'll be hard pressed to find a one size fits all solution. (i've never found an answer, nor have I been interested enough to test it myself) But there is a chance it detects for interlaced content, and disables the filter for progressive scan, but I'm skeptical of that. Click to expand.I've seen people recommend leaving the default settings for deinterlacing on for HandBrake, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend that without knowing how HandBrake actually deinterlaces.
