Interlaced and no where to go...

Aximifuwanna · 02-22-03, 08:56 PM

My progress has done a 180 and I seem to be heading further away from the goal of easy rip/encoding. The central problem, it seems to me, is that all the guides out there are telling you how to work with everything BUT interlaced NTSC video.

I've looked carefully at both guides up on PocketMatrix, the IVTC guide at doom9.net, DIVX Digest's DVD to DIVX conversion guide, and I just seem to be getting more and more confused.

I want to use DVDs that are in NTSC 720X480 Interlaced format. I want to convert them to 320x240 non-interlaced DIVX 5. The de-interlacing and IVTC processes seem entirely too complicated. So I'm stuck.

I think I have all the software I need(and then some).
Someone please help!

I've never tried it with DVD, so I don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not, but my ATI video card will take any video source and record it to the HD at any resolution in wmv, mpg1, mpg2, etc.

Just having TV on screen is cool enough, but it might capture your source.

If you are following my guide in this thread,

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...&threadid=3692

Simply add the following...

Before you do step 1 or 2 (the instructions with the numbers...)
But after you are in the Video -> filters menu

click on "add". Select "deinterlace" Choose "Blend both fields together" click "ok"

Then proceed to steps 1 and or 2... At the end you should have 3 filters on your display...(or 2 if you skipped step 1)

After all are installed, open up virtualdub. Go to "file" and open the video file you want to reencode for your axim.

That's what your guide says. However, I have interlaced VOB files that are ripped from my DVD. They contain audio, video and subtitle. Since VirtualDub does not support these files, I have to make VOB into usable AVI files. Everything I've seen about converting these files involves a number of different apps but I don't know which to use or how.

If VirtualDub uses AVI files, does that mean I have to convert my VOBs to AVI without changing their framerate, bitrate, interlacing or size? If so, how does audio or subtitles fit into that equation?

I posted a new guide that might help you convert stuff with deinterlacing etc etc.
