The video is interlaced because of the non-24fps nature of the films. So if your computer settings are set to "deinterlace", motion and stills present zero combing (the same is true of most modern standalone players/displays).

If your software is not set to "deinterlace" such material properly, stills and motion will be riddled with combing, which gives an unrepresentative picture.

This concept of deinterlacing is new to me. On VLC Media Player, I have several deinterlace options: blend, bob, discard, linear, mean, and x. Does anyone know if one of these options is preferable to the others?

That tells me you need to update VLC to the lastest version. Those options are all pretty terrible compared to Yadif and Yadif (x2). It is hard to tell whether video is interlaced or not with Yadif.

Thanks, I'll try that out.

So it is interlaced video as opposed to progressive video that has been telecined to adjust the relative fps? Am I right in thinking that these are two different things?

Are all your sub 24/25 fps silents interlaced then? I thought most of them were progessive but telecined or something to adjust the fps?

All SD DVD encodes of films that are less than 24fps have to be interlaced somehow. There are a number of ways of doing it. The real problems arise when interlaced PAL masters are then badly converted to NTSC, which compounds the problems. Luckily, we've never done this.

On SD DVD we typically issue pure interlaced PAL material as PAL encodes and thus, when a player "deinterlaces" it, it looks fine.

If you configure your DVD software to handle interlacing properly, you don't see any interlacing, and grabs don't have that combing.


I updated the grabs in the Lubitsch review to remove the interlacing on most of captures.

After having watched Ich möchte kein Mann sein, Die Puppe and Die Austernprinzessin I'm wondering if others had widely different experiences with each of them. I personally really enjoyed the first two but was a little cooler to the third.

After watching them for the first time, I felt pretty much the same as you. But I'm going to give Die Austernprinzessin a second chance. Maybe it will grow on me.

Nick,

If this has not gone out of print, when can we expect it to come back into stock because it is not available at any online retailer?
