Haven't seen something on this topic recently. What are the best settings for cartoons or animation, Standard def if it is interlaced? I'm trying to rip some old peanuts - it's cartoon mixed with live interviews, special.
I try to do it and get weird vertical lines, like dotted or something when there is movement. I tried a few settings but can't seem to figure it out. The best seems to be the defaults.
The original I have to admit is pretty messy. It's truly interlaced - NOT telecined, every frame looks like this.
Before:

Here's how it looks after encoding:

https://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o5 ... het7gd.jpg
That might be the best I can expect... but I thought I'd ask!
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
I ripped with MakeMKV to MKV. I encode with handbrake, detelecine: off, interlace detect: default, deinterlace: decomb preset:default
Denoise, sharpen, deblock, etc. all off
Video settings: H.264, framerate: same as source, Const quality: 20, Encoder preset: Fast, Encoder Tune: Animation, Fast decode unchecked, Encoder profile: Main, Level: 3.1, no extra options
