David, I know Streamclip rips DVDs, that’s what I usually use. Post 1 I was using Streamclip to rip and export. Then I tried Mac the ripper to rip, and Streamclip to convert the VOBs to QT. I’m willing to try WHATEVER. Same problem. Unwanted Frame blending.Other DVDs, no problem,no matter which ripper I use. These DVDs, problem. I would think that the DVD itself was blended, except DVD player is able to pause and de-interlace, and it’s not blended.
I’ll post screen grabs in a minute.

OMG, you’re right. It’s right there by frame rate. My bad and silly me. Checkbox for frame blending. Except it wasn’t checked. I restarted my whole computer and tried again. Same problem.
It’s just these particular DVDs. I’m ripping the DVD with Mac the Ripper. When I rip a different DVD, and convert the VOB with Streamclip, it’s not frame blended. So I would think the DVD itself is frame blended, except when I pause the same frame in the DVD player, it’s definitely not frame blended.
This is making me nuts.
Is there another good DVD ripper for Mac OS X? Maybe Mac the Ripper is doing it.

I’m looking at it in After Effects and Motion. I can make a comp at 59.94 FPS and make a frame out of every field, and it’s still frame blended. But the original DVD is not blended. So I don’t get it. It’s as if there is a checkbox in Streamclip for frame blending, except I don’t see one.

Thank you, thank you. Yes, great solutions. Maximum appreciation.

Brilliant, yes AK explains it well. His method worked right off.
Pre Comp. Expand the comp dimensions. Make a new comp. Copy the position data to anchor point, and anchor point data to position. Then copy rotation data to rotation, and multiply the expression by -1.
It works.
Thank you Simon.

It’s a 2 point tracking, but not scale and rotation. It’s position and rotation. Scale stays constant.

Or, if all the background people and cars were extras, and you could completely clear the streets, you could shoot the actor walking on empty streets with nothing moving. If you kept the cameras in place and shot everything twice, once with all the extras and once with just the actor, that would work.

I haven’t seen “Quiet Man”, but I’ll bet it was a composite. I’m guessing they shot the street footage, time-remapped it. Then shot the actor against green screen trying to match where and how he needed to go to fit the footage.

Yes, thank you, track matte is exactly it. Invert alpha matte. Works.

I guess I figured out one way – auto tracing the source layer, then copying and inverting the mask onto the destination layer.
