Here is a 10 minute clip of the beginning of side 1. There's been no processing other than using toot and ivtc.
Thoughts?
Is this one continuous capture or spliced together from separate files? Because there is a sudden change in the border on the right hand side at frame 3923-3924 (end of the overhead flyby shot). Maybe it's on the LD like that.
The bottom border jumps up and down by 1 pixel occasionally, too.
It is one continuous capture. It's a part of the Laserdisc as far as I can tell. It does some pretty funky stuff. If you watch the borders they all move around once in awhile throughout the movie. I've also run into a few of these:
which manual IVTC fails to cope with. I thought it was just a swap field issue at first but after correcting it manually I get this:
which makes me think this is a frame with misaligned fields or something. I've found 5 so far. I'm almost done with side 5 though so I think there won't be anymore.
There is also a few scenes where the last frame of a scene contains only half of the frame because the bottom field belongs in the first frame of the next scene. I've been correcting these by cutting out the bottom field and doing a nnedi2(dh=true) so as to keep the frame in the film.
Don't know if it's your capture settings or the disc (or Vimeo), but it's all fairly washed out. Strange that you've actually got two levels of black - that of the black bars and that of the active image itself.
If it was me, I'd set the black level to that of the active image, and increase the white level by a touch as well.
Colours are nice and saturated, though - possibly even over saturated. Little bit of dot crawl evident.
More thoughts to follow.
I'd say the downside to the Theater750 card is that there aren't any settings really available other than denoising strength and comb filter adjustments. I was going to give your method of correcting captures a go as soon as my video essentials disc shows up. If I can't get that to work I'll take your advice on the levels.
