Hi everyone,

I'm trying to restore and encode an old 90s anime DVD using VapourSynth.

My biggest issues are:

* Figuring out the correct deinterlacing/IVTC workflow.
* Dealing with frame blending/ghosting, as some scenes appear to have blended frames.
* Improving the colors, which look quite dull and washed out due to the age of the DVD.

I'm looking for the best modern VapourSynth workflow for this kind of source. Are there any recommended plugins or filter chains for handling these issues while preserving as much of the original detail as possible?

I know every DVD is different, so I'm not looking for a one-size-fits-all solution—I'm just interested in the workflow experienced anime encoders would typically start with.

If it helps, I can also upload a short lossless sample for analysis. http://titant.free.fr/tmp/GoldenBoy01.zip

Thanks!
