Switching Field Order with Decomb Bob

Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2018 10:22 am

I'm on Linux (though I suspect it's not relevant), and wondering if anyone else is encountering this:

Using the following filters:

Detelecine: Default
Interlace Detection: Default
Deinterlace: Decomb
Deinterlace Preset: Bob

I find that Handbrake often detects the field order incorrectly, which results in deinterlaced video with frequent sections where every pair of frames is reversed. It's hard to spot a solid pattern to this: sometimes the field ordering seems to switch mid-shot. I tend to use auto-detection on sources with a mix of progressive and interlaced content, but isn't the auto-detection algorithm designed for precisely this kind of situation?

Has anyone else come across this? Is there something that can be done to mitigate it?

Here's an example. After experimentation, I've discovered that it's the detelecine filter that is causing this. This encode had "Interlace Detection: Off", and still experiences the same field order issue. My understanding is that the detelecine filter should "do the right thing" when no pulldown is present?

Re: Switching Field Order with Decomb Bob

My understanding is that the detelecine filter should "do the right thing" when no pulldown is present?
In theory, yes. In practice, no. The detelcine filter looks for a specific cadence of interlaced vs. non-interlaced frames. It can be fooled by video sequences that spoof this cadence. And for some reason it is especially bad when the source is PAL framerate.

When transcoding, I always look at the source framerate that HandBrake reports. If it is *not* 29.97fps, I disable detelecine. Any other framerate is either not hard telecined or telecined in some way that the detelecine filter was not designed to handle.

Awesome; that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I'm in the UK, so most of my sources are indeed PAL. There's only one source I came across that needed detelecine (Matrix Trilogy BluRay special features), and that source had only certain shots telecined. It did such a good job detecting the right sections to detelecine that I left it on by default, thinking I could trust it. How strange that it did so well on that mongrel intermittent source but completely falls over on most of my PAL sources :p

Anyway, the framerate tip is exactly the kind of idea I was looking for, and makes perfect sense. Thanks a ton :)
