I've taken 10 consecutive screens from the last 2 rips & uploaded them here....

No Forcefilm & Field Interlace no blur. If I got to do it again then so be it, but the quality of the DVD is pretty bad & on this monitor it looks better than the other.

I'll use the method you suggest above V V if these screens look bad to you.

I meant from the source, which is why i mentioned using gknots preview window

Anywho... Looking at the vob, I'd agree with vae.. i'd say you need to ivtc... Don't apply force film and check the ivtc box on the save and encode menu, and then on the next menu, check the box that mentions ivtc -> alter frame count. If one of your rips is already like that, and you still don't think the video is right in high motion, you'll have to post another sample.

Here you can see a pppii sequence:







And here's a text book example of needing to ivtc which is very similar:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic. ... 1088#81088

and here's what you need to do:




As i mentioned, if the video isn't playing back right for you, you'll need to provide a sample of that (nandub, video>direct stream copy, audio>no audio, then mark in and out so there's a segment and file>save as)

A little tip: there are versions of GKnot that don't have the IVTC box anymore (instead there's Tom's MoComp IIRC which is not what you need). If you happen to use a GKnot version that doesn't have it, you'll have the hit the 'edit' button and remove the '#' in the Telecide line.

is that an old version of gknot? why would you use an old version without all the bugfixes for Xvid and other problems?

The latest version is 0.35.0:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=77391

If I leave as 29.97fps the box is there for me to tick, but if I try to convert to 23.976 its blanked out. So basically I have to leave it 29.97fps ?

you mean on the main window by the bits/pixel and where you have open?
Yes, that's the source fps... don't ever change that! Its only for when you want to assumefps() iirc, say if you've got some whack pc-avi with a high fps, like some concatenated jpegs or something that a program might produce.

Ahhhh, ok, oops lol
Its encoding now so hopefully we'll have one worth releasing in 2 hrs.
If I wanted to convert to 23.976fps does gknot allow you to do that?

Nope, I have 0.35.0 and it doesn't have the checkbox.

The thing I did notice, was when using DGIndex with forcefilm, it created an avs of 23.976. When done without forcefilm it was 29.97.

Yup, ForceFilm pulls it down to 23.976 but it's rare to use it, at least in my case

yes, that's because forcefilm = IVTC method, if you use forcefilm its already done the ivtc for you so its at the right fps, it essentially puts in the d2v to drop a sequence of frames and deinterlace others.

But you can't always force film, as seems to be the case here.

I assure you it does

Check it out:


the box is only there if you select input resolution -> NTSC, and your not forcefilming... since you would only possibly need it if you had ntsc and weren't force filming. You sure your not trying with a non-30fps d2v? It will hide it if you are.


Are you sure your not doing pal or force filmed projects atm and just not seeing the option because its n/a?

A checkbox to convert 29.97 to 23.976? I didnt see that either, which tab is it in ?

What are you talking about? What checkbox? i don't see anyone mention such a thing in this thread.

i think rogue has chucked something into the mix by adding doubt on the existance of this checkbox... he says he doesn't see it:


To which i've replied the reason he doesn't is because he's either working with PAL material or he's forcefilmed i suspect Its there in 0.35.0, and many versions prior. If it isn't there, and its not force filmed, and NTSC is selected, then rogue, I have no idea why your's is different

But no one has mentioned anything about a:

Thats where I got confused.

yeah, i read through and figured it was rogue and me holding a different conversation.

Just incase, here's a quick summary:

DVDdecrypter -> hdd
Load your vobs in DGindex, make sure you've got honour pulldown checked. Save the d2v.
Load your d2v, it should say 29.976 FPS in the Frames section of the gknot gui since its not yet been ivtc'd. This is right, its just telling you what its read from your d2v. If you force film its already been ivtc'd, so the d2v says its the correct FPS.
Setup your rip how you want, make sure its all cropped.
Click save and edit, make sure you check this box:

Since your doing that you don't need to deinterlace.
Apply any noise filters, etc of your choosing.
Click save and encode.
Setup your audio how you want, go to the video tab and then check this box:

Setup your first and second passes how you desire, make sure they match. Here's a snapshot of mine atm for a big rip:


(take note of the red bits since that's what will differ with yours, you can get jawors 1cd here )


You aiming for 744mb?

hehe, i've done it before... gknot has a dynamic interface so you can't select the wrong option... they quesiton now is, have you force filmed and ivtc'd one of your rips in the past?

I hate you.



Both actually, with a nice pulldown forcefilm in the d2v works great, I used it on Bordello of Blood and Demon Knight IIRC. With shitty telecining IVTC is the better choice. Used it on Raped By An Angel.

I've been ripping lots of progressive PAL lately though.

Besides, being the 1337 ripper that I am, I don't use the fucking radiobutton but edit the script.
