Can you cut the vob file with something like http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Mpg2Cut2 instead of putting it into an mkv file, just to make sure the mkv doesn't mess some things up.

Did you rip the physical DVD yourself or did you download the iso from somewhere(if so, can you tell me the file size, to make sure it wasn't compressed with dvdshrink)?

Just did a quick check since I'm running out of time but nothing seems to indicate that there's something wrong with it at first glance. What makes you think it's not interlaced?

Edit: There's also nothing to indicate it's properly interlaced and you also did a 30fps rip so can't tell if the full motion of interlaced is there or not.

QTGMC can handle progressive content too so it'll process a progressive DVD just as well.

If make deinterlacing then there are a lot of horizontal displacements somewhat reminiscent of interlace. This video is reminiscent of the bad rips from the 00s when bad and fast deinterlacing was done and its traces remained on the progressive video.

Сan do 60 fps but visually it will be 30. With 'InputType=2' can't double fps.

'InputType = 1' in this case is useless.

Sent the link to iso and vob in conversation.

Unless you purchased the actual official DVD you might run into things like this. If it is a copy of any kind found on the web as an ISO it is immediately suspect in regards to the quality of the ones who ripped/copied it.

The studio certainly is. Did you have the physical disc you got the VOB from? Or just an ISO from the web like your earlier post? If it is from the web, Whoever ripped it is responsible and you won't be able to clean that up at all I wouldn't think.

You can give the srestore avisynth plugin a try, it's made to fix that kind of stuff but I never used it for that so don't know how well it would work.

I've been wanting to convert my DVD collection (purchased in Japan from 2002 to 1007) to MP4 or AVI. Sounds like this is the answer,,,,,

........However, reading through this thread, it sounds like I might have issues if I'm not tech-savvy. Is this indeed the best way to convert DVDs to MP4/AVI format? I've tried a couple of other downloaded programs, and neither worked, presumably due to copyright encriptions in the DVDs. I intend on doing this for my own personal viewing, from my collection.

This was made specifically for people who aren't tech-savvy so you should at least give it a shot, it's nothing too complicated.

You just gotta pick this version if you're using an updated version of windows 7 or a more recent version like 8 or 10 to avoid any technical issues: https://www.akiba-online.com/thread...d-encoder-v1-0-1-1.73866/page-51#post-3167139

The thread has many technical speak because people tend to want to know more once they've seen how good the result can be and they get curious.

I don’t really want to ask about AV on Doom9 or somewhere else, so I’ll try to ask here.

What is this video (ENFD-5161)? It seems that this is not interlace and not telecine. DVD and rip samples:
https://mega.nz/#F!Jc0k2CRQ!NvHto6tWbfcFXcVAE7CWlw
Not such a bad result turned out this way:

But it's still unclear what the video is. Maybe should do differently and better or this video is just corrupted.

Sorry it took this long to answer but you were right, the source is not interlaced or telecined(jav never is), it's progressive.

It still thinks it's interlaced so it was most likely ripped using dvdshrink or something similar and the picture was re-encoded as progressive in the process but the original DVD info remains so it identifies as interlaced.

Not much you can do in those case, just rip it to 30 fps without deinterlacing as if it were a normal dvd and don't expect the quality to be too good or find a different source. Or if you already did a qtgmc rip, it will still look ok, might fix some of the issues with the original deinterlacing but it won't do miracles.

Forcing the deactivation of interlacing(thank you madvr for this wonderful option) during playback of the iso results in the video looking the same as when it's active. If you do that on an actual interlaced video, you'll see the typical interlaced lines when there's movement.

@SamKook
"InputType=2" gives an excellent result, looks much better than any sd from dmm/r18 and the size is smaller.
I have already met several such iso, including western ones.

Porni, can you share one of your VS scripts for QTGMC? It's hard to find examples online, and I find the setup really difficult.

Why not, I use VS Editor and the terminal, made some settings and switch between them using "#".
I don’t have to solve any difficult tasks, animation or old films do not interest me. Sometimes I delete duplicate frames and still do not know what to do with blending, sometimes something special happens, but it takes a long time to explain. I tried to use other various plugins/scripts, but in isolated cases and just for fun.
Code: 
from vapoursynth import core
import havsfunc as haf
#import adjust

v = core.ffms2.Source('vts3.mkv', fpsnum=30000, fpsden=1001)
#v = core.lsmas.LWLibavSource('video.wmv')
#v = core.d2v.Source('index.d2v')

#v = core.std.Trim(v, 0, 2500)

    # left right top bottom
v = core.std.Crop(v, 4, 2, 0, 0)

    #, ShowSettings=True
v = haf.QTGMC(v, Preset='Very Slow', Sharpness=0.2, FPSDivisor=1, SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2, MatchEnhance=0.5, TFF=True)
#v = haf.QTGMC(v, Preset='Very Slow', Sharpness=0.5, FPSDivisor=1, TFF=True)
#v = haf.QTGMC(v, Preset='Fast', Sharpness=0.2, FPSDivisor=1, TFF=True)
#v = haf.QTGMC(v, Preset='Slower', Sharpness=0.3, InputType=1)
#v = haf.QTGMC(v, Preset='Very Slow', Sharpness=0.4, SourceMatch=3, MatchEnhance=0.75, InputType=2, ProgSADMask=15.0, TFF=True)

#v = core.vivtc.VDecimate(v)

v = core.std.Crop(v, 0, 0, 2, 0)

#v = adjust.Tweak(v, hue=0.0, sat=1.1, bright=0.0, cont=1.03, coring=True)

#a = core.std.Trim(v, 0, 5579)
#a = adjust.Tweak(a, hue=1.0, sat=0.8, bright=1.0, cont=0.98, coring=True)
#b = core.std.Trim(v, 5580, 24186)
#b = adjust.Tweak(b, hue=-0.2, sat=0.95, bright=8.0, cont=0.99, coring=True)
#c = core.std.Trim(v, 24187)
#c = adjust.Tweak(c, hue=-1.5, sat=1.05, bright=22.0, cont=0.97, coring=True)
#v = a+b+c

#v = core.resize.Spline36(v, width=1440, height=1080)
#v = core.resize.Spline36(v, width=848, height=480)

v.set_output()
