I'm currently ripping a cartoon series from DVD, and it has a mix of progressive and interlaced frames. Turning Interlace Detection off causes a serious drop in quality, and the Default setting for Interlace Detection isn't sensitive enough to pick up all of the smaller interlaced details (Mouths moving, far away characters, etc.). So, I'm trying to figure out how to make the interlace detection more sensitive, but I'm at a complete loss as to what the CLI parameters are supposed to even mean. There is no explanation that I can find anywhere on what these parameters affect, or what values are accepted. Is there a place I can find a breakdown of all these settings? Interlace Detection is the most important thing to me right now, but I'd like to know what all the parameters really do.
Default settings:
mode=3:spatial-metric=2:motion-thresh=1:spatial-thresh=1:filter-mode=2:block-thresh=40:block-width=16:block-height=16 Default
mode=3:spatial-metric=2:motion-thresh=3:spatial-thresh=3:filter-mode=2:block-thresh=40:block-width=16:block-height=16 LessSensitive
mode=0:spatial-metric=2:motion-thresh=2:spatial-thresh=3:filter-mode=1:block-thresh=80:block-width=16:block-height=16 Fast
The most I've been able to do is try to deduce what settings affect what based on the above default profiles. I've ripped several examples, messing with one option at a time, but I'm not getting much in the way of promising results.
