>>2249This is a typical hard telecine/3:2 pulldown. The reason you're having issues is you need to run it through a detelecine filter to correctly get it back to 24fps with fields in proper order. You aren't seeing the top of one frame and the bottom of the next. You're seeing the fields changing every scan line during the 2 frames where multiple frames are combined in each set of 5 frames. This was done so the 24fps source material plays back at the correct speed for the 29.xxfps speed of NTSC video. This is just the typical film -> NTSC video telecine done on pretty much everything that was released on home video from the early VHS days up until today.
In fact, most modern BDs using these old sources for the upscale don't even bother doing the detelecine before they blow the frame up to 1080p+ and send it off to be pressed on the disc. There are so many shows where the BDs are not usable as a proper source because they didn't bother doing this. Then they did yet another telecine on top of the existing one for the BD release. Since BDs are still stuck with the old NTSC fame rate/standard and hard telecine is still being used for stupid reasons even though modern playback devices can do a soft telecine process where raw film (24fps) frame rate can be stored on disc and the player can do the telecine on the fly.
Long story short. You need to either use avisynth or vapoursynth with appropriate filters to get the frame rate back down to 24fps while pulling the out the correct fields for each frame. From what I see from that clip this LD is actually a decent telecine and not one of the really horrible ones where the pattern changes at every scene thus requiring manual flagging of individual frames instead of being able to do it automatically.
The Domesday would get rid of all the dot crawl and probably the wackiness happening with the colors as well. If not that's easy to deal with using proper filters. Which is most likely what was done with the BD release of this show. Since these studios are dumb and a bunch destroyed the original tapes years ago.
Very few studios are going back to the original tapes to 're-master' their stuff and release it as "HD". Most are doing a simple upscale using either LD, VHS or DVD sources. Since the average consumer knows nothing about video quality and is willing to pay for warmed over garbage.
I don't know why they refuse to hire anyone competent to do this sort of work (or subtitling/translation). I guess everyone with skills isn't willing to work for the salary they're paying. Or they refuse to hire gaijin for these jobs. I've never seen any native Japanese hanging around the usual hang outs where this type of software is discussed and created. I could go on all day about how horrible the work in the industry is with BD releases and how ignorant the people doing it must be about basic concepts. Suffice to say most of the BDs coming out are so bad you're better off finding an old analog source and starting from that instead. Then doing your own upscale if you really want it in 720p/1080p. The results you get are much much better. The only redeeming feature of modern BD releases are the increased bitrates compared to the DVD-era stuff. Which was also generally bad. But not as bad as what they're doing today.
Hence why LDs and VHS/VTR sources are so highly desired. They don't suffer from the lack of bitrate with digital sources. So at least you aren't fighting against the encoder shitting itself on top of whatever else is wrong with it.
I don't understand how they manage to mess up BDs so badly with the encoder. There should be amble bits with them releasing so few episodes on a disc. But they all use some kind of filter to inject artificial grain that eats bitrate like nothing else. Then they refuse to tune the encoder to deal with quick scene changes and colors that eat a lot of bits (mostly reds). So the end result ends up looking really really bad.
Oh one last thing. This issue with fields/frames doesn't matter on your CRT in the first place. Since it's displaying fields instead of full frames at 29.xxFPS. Hence why telecine works in the first place. It only becomes an issue when you "digitize" it and attempt to play it back on a modern display device and/or CRT hooked up to a system attempting to output true 24fps/30fps.
