Detective Conan - Legacy of the British Empire (PS2) - FMVs [XC]
This is exclusive animation from the PS2 Detective Conan game "Legacy of the British Empire". Spoiler warning for the game! I made these encodes for the 20th anniversary English translation patch, check it out here! https://github.com/conan-patches/ps2 The game has fully voiced dialogue by the original VAs and anime cutsenes by the TV staff, now presented in never-before-seen quality.
Videos and audio decoded from the original game files, subtitles from the fan translation. Source had misaligned chroma, field matching errors, and very distracting compression artifacts. This involved a lot of turd polishing, but now the viewing quality is at least acceptable. Also restored the correct aspect ratio, which is not how it's displayed on PS2. Comparison screenshots
I messed up the aspect ratio tagging, you can tag the videos yourself with a display res of 648x448 in mkvtoolnix.

Thank you! I really wish I could but I made this iteratively with intermediary videos and multiple scripts that I didn't always save as new separate files. The thick of it is load IPU video -> fix chroma shift -> masked deinterlace of messed up fieldmatch -> deblocking -> motion compensation, then as a 2nd pass stronger deblocking repaired to match 1st pass, and more temporal smoothing excluding scenes where it introduces issues.

Reach out on Discord if you want to take a crack at it or want help with other encodes.
Great encode. Could you share the encoding script?
