[HELP] 25i to 29.97i with interpolation

[Selur]

Sure, you just will have potentially more interpolation artifacts.

I tried to create a file with the same settings, but it came out as 29.97 progressive.

[Selur]

you did set the encoder to output interlaced content right?

[Miranda]

I checked the interlace box in (De-)Interlace/Telecine. Are there oher settings I need to select?

[Selur]

I checked the interlace box in (De-)Interlace/Telecine. Are there oher settings I need to select?

Yes, that box does not do much.
The main thing is that the used encoder needs to:
a. support interlaced output
b. be configured to use interlaced output
So if you use ProRes as Output "ProRes->Interlacing" needs to be enabled.

Thanks, that would be it. I though that was for interlaced input. doh!

[Selur]

Nope, in the encoder you specify what the encoder should create and in return what Vapoursynth/FFmpeg/Avisynth/Mencoder need to output to feed the encoder.

[Miranda]

I tried this setting, but the job will not run: "Interlaced encoding is enabled in the encoder, but the input is progressive!"

[Selur]

What settings are you using exactly?
Try if enabling ' interlace box in (De-)Interlace/Telecine' helps.
-> Also, do not set 'Auto deinterlace handling' to 'none'.

I'm using these settings, from post #36 in this thread:

[*]loading your 25i source
[*]setting "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Script->Finter interlace handling' to 'QTGMC(preset="Fast")'.
[*]enabling "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Frame->Interpolation"
[*]setting "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Frame->Interpolation" to "Interframe/SVP"
[*]setting "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Frame->Interpolation->Interframe/SVP->FPS" to "59.94"
[*]setting "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Frame->Interpolation->Interframe/SVP->Tuning" to "smooth"
[*]doing the rest of your settings (make sure encoder is set to interlaced output)
