Jagged edges in Anime divx

Hey.. I just created this anime divx (demo here: ) Now when you see the girl standing on the beach or whatever, notice her arms have jagged edges. Is there any way to fix this? This was my first NTSC rip, so I assume it has something to do with that. I did not use Forced FILM or IVTC because somehow that wouldn't result in a correct file :(

@ Egrimm This *seems* to be a PIONEER-DVD, because I've some Pioneer DVDs which has exactly the same points around edges and stuff. This is normal, don't worry about it. I think it's some special purpose feature of an encoder of theirs. This has nothing to do with interlacing, and I won't call this jaggies. As for the frame rate, I assume this is real 29,97fps progressive stream. So no need for IVTC or Force Film or deinterlacing or what so ever here. As for the interlacing in the walking scene, this is *FAKE* interlacing, well it's not interlacing at all, it's motion blur done with lines instead of... blurring! :D So all is right with your AVI. Just a small hint: push the audio bitrate a bit, it sounds awfull. Take 160k for example. And may be you should lower the resolution a bit, I don't think you're encoding only 2 episodes per CD aren't you? I would suggest going down to 512x384 for example.

DJ Bobo > nice avatar ;) I don't have a Pioneer DVD player, it's an AOpen... I did what jggimi said, and got these results: With fast deinterlace it gave me an error (error in log file or something like that). With field deinterlace it gave an acceptable result (still a little jaggy but less than with IVTC). Thanks guys ;) [edit] I'm making 4 episodes per CD... maybe I should lower that to 3 and up the sound quality a little though. [edit2] Omg hard to imagine some1 being so stupid ^^ The original DVD had some jagged edges as well...

@Egrimm: Fast deinterlace requires Gknot 0.26.1. @DJ: Those looked like interlace artifacts after resizing, but you may be right. (I did say I may be wrong, didn't I?)

@ Egrimm Thanks! :D I ment, the DVD itself is done by Pioneer may be, I don't mean the DVD player ;) Because I have some Pioneer DVDs that have also such points around edges! this has nothing to do with interlacing or jaggies! This is nothing you can really fix, you can reduce it though using filters like SmartSmoother, but this is very time consuming. And as said this is real 29,97fps, no place for IVTC or Force Film here. Still that walking scene is quite irritating, well may be you can try Telecide() alone, without decimate, since it reconstructs the wall in the background (this way you don't become blends) Are all scrolling scenes like that, or only this one? If yes, it seems that the fields are inverted, but it's originally 29,97fps progressive. [EDIT] @ jggimi You may be right about them being interlaced, that particular scene is indeed quite irritating.

You're right, the DVD is made by Pioneer... Where should I put this Telecide() ? In the avs file?

@ Egrimm Yes you put the Telecide() command on the AVS. You may post your AVS if you want more details.

With some content that's been Telecined, I've had very good luck with: Telecide(guide=1,post=false) Decimate(cycle=5) Just to see if this is an issue of fields, rather than of actual interlacing, you might try: Telecide(post=false) which will reassemble frames without doing any de-interlacing. If it works, you'll both save a lot of processing time and end up with more detailed images. If you try Telecide alone, see see if you get duplicated frames. If so, then you could try adding the Decimate line. In all cases, preview your .avs file with vdub, so you can scroll through frame-by-frame. Good luck!

Well, since the episodes are in Japanese I figured I always want the subtitles in there .. Hm, you say that line has to go, might I ask what it does then? ^^ I couldn't find the fast deinterlace anywhere in my file, where is that line? I'll try the new settings monday, then I get back (I'm not at my computer this weekend). Once again thanks for all your help :)

VerticleReduceBy2 = Gknot's "Fast Deinterlace" Putting the subtitles after resizing improves the clarity and readability of the text.
