Like torque91, I have what looks like interlacing problems. I can see a dark bar of them on the left side of my video as well as whenever something moves. I tried using forced film mode in dgindex, but then I end up with sped up video. Can anyone give me a hint on what to try? Thanks!


Forced Film should not give you "sped up video" unless you change the framerate. I don't own the DVDs and I don't know if it's encoded at 29.97 or 23.976 fps, but here's a way to tell -- make sure "Honor Pulldown Flags" is set, and press F5 to preview the video. In the information window on the right, you should see "NTSC", "VIDEO ##%" or "FILM ##%". It might fluctuate drastically at the beginning, so wait a while till it's consistent. If it says "NTSC", it means the video is interlaced and encoded at 29.97 fps, and "Honor Pulldown Flags" is the correct setting. If it says "FILM" with a high percentage (about 90% or above), it means the video is progressively encoded at 23.976 fps, and you can use the "Forced Film" setting. DGIndex and MPEG2Source will then give you 23.976 fps video, so don't change the framerate to 29.97 or you'll have "sped up video".

Someone correct me if I said anything wrong.
