Okay change of plans. The DVD is field-blended, so I'm putting the DVD's as-is up on the spleen now, as we speak, and a deinterlaced version will follow in a few days on demonoid.
If, however, you want to deinterlace it yourself here is my avisynth script:
mpeg2source("ohmss-abc-part1.d2v")
crop(16,48,-24,-48)
#DeBlock - you'll not lose any quality and it's a fast script.
DeBlock_QED()
#Reduce field chroma-ghosting
#(this makes a big improvement)...
separatefields()
PointResize(width(),height()*2)
interleave(selecteven().crop(0,2,0,0).addborders(0,0,0,2),selectodd())
interleave(repair(selecteven(),selectodd(),0,9,9),repair(selectodd(),selecteven(),0,9,9))
interleave(selecteven().crop(0,0,0,-2).addborders(0,2,0,0),selectodd())
crop(0,4,0,-4)
PointResize(width(),height()/2)
weave()
#Deinterlace
crop(6,10,0,-10)
QTGMC(Preset="Slower")
# Restore from 59.95p to 25p (script is called twice so it doesn't lose sync)
AssumeFPS(60000,1001)
trim(0,183056).FixBlend() ++ trim(183057,0).FixBlend()
Function FixBlend(clip orig){
orig.changefps(25*4,linear=false)
selectevery(4,2)
return last
}
#Convert from 25p (PAL speed) to 23.976p (NTSC speed)
#Note your audio will need to be converted eg:
#eac3to "audio.ac3" audio-23.976p.ac3 -192 -slowdown -25.000
assumefps(23.976)
If anyone has the original PAL release then of course the de-interlacing won't be necessary!
The same script will work for both parts.
