Hey there,
As this is my first post, I'll just let you know that I *have* searched the forums for info beforehand.. I know people tend to just jump in and ask a question sometimes. I've been using videohelp as a resource for ages now, but this is the first time I've needed to really ask for advice that hasn't been answered elsewhere.
My issue:
I'm restoring a VHS capture from a 90s live video release by my favourite band. I was looking for some advice on deinterlacing. The source is noisy, but I'm taking care of that with Neat Video - There is a lot of fast-moving camera work, quick cuts, some sections with strobe lights, and video effects (e.g. intentional ghosting of movement, a lot of scenes where footage from two cameras has been overlaid together into one shot). I've read about and installed NNEDI3 + Yadifmod. Reading through the instructions, I'm a bit concerned, though. My understanding is that, my options are to either select the top or bottom field and let the filter interpolate (or guess, right?) what the other half of the picture is. Or I can get it to do both fields, one after the other, interpolate the missing field and have a 50fps video. Either way, it sounds like a dramatic reduction in resolution. Do I have any other options or does anyone have any suggestions, given the specifics of the source? I'm a bit of a perfectionist - I figure if I'm putting time into making this capture look awesome, it'd be nice to have the best result possible.
