modify auto deinterlacing detection code. make it more sensitive for dvds so wthat progressive frames seen right after a series of interlaced frames is not deinterlaced. i can reproduce consistently with bobdeint filter and lord of the rings II. the FBI warning frame is a progressive frame and experiences the problem. workaround is still to disable bobdeint.

will play around with interlaced settings and the dvd menu. first i will disable interlacing completely for the dvd menu, and see how that goes.

This does not fix the problem for me; rather it moves the problem to a new location. I just watched "Over the Hedge" last night (after latest SVN update) and now the menu and MPAA warnings look normal, but the beginning of the movie (Dreamworks intro) is exhibiting the same behavior. I went into the OSD, selected video scan and re-selected (it was already selected) the "Detect" and that fixed the problem.

Unfortunately I do not remember what it was showing (I or P) before and after the selection. But perhaps this info will help you to determine what's going on.

I'll check tonight when I get home to see if it changes from "I" to "P" (or vice versa) after hitting "Detect" again.

comment:9 Changed 17 years ago by bhuffman@…

Specifically, with "Over the Hedge", there is a slight flicker after the MPAA warning where you can see that screen also exhibiting the same effect (displayed twice but compressed vertically). It then proceeds to the main title which also exhibits this behavior. If I select the OSD and look at video scan, it's set to "Detect(P)" -- so apparently has determined this is progressive content, however it appears that de-interlacing is still being attempted. If I click on the "Detect" option again, the problem resolves itself. However, the menu item is still showing "Detect (P)" (progressive).

i cannot reproduce this problem. probably something to do with bob deinterlacing function. if you figure it out and create a patch, i'll be glad to review it and commit it.

comment:11 Changed 17 years ago by bhuffman@…

:-( I'll see what I can do. However, if I'm unable to find a fix and it's going to be closed anyway, should the whole thing just be reverted? If you have an interlaced menu, shouldn't interlacing be on?

This happens in Polar Express and also Twister. I'm attaching the output from mythfrontend -v playback for "Polar Express." When I select "video scan" and re-select "Detect", you can see "Disabling deinterlacing" in the output, and this fixes the problem.

FWIW, I saw this recently, too (using trunk r12786), watching a James Bond DVD. But seemingly only when jumping into the middle of the film via the chapter selection, not when starting from the beginning.
