I just received and viewed Who Done It? The Clue Documentary from ETR Media/Vinegar Syndrome. While I enjoyed the film, I’m perplexed at the combing artifacts throughout the film. I would blame it on encoding, but there is no setting (1080i, 720p, 480i, 1080p with various video source settings, etc) that will remove or reduce all of this combing. It appears that the problem goes back to post and the various sources not being conformed to one standard size, frame rate, and frame format (interlaced or progressive). So many clips appear to be from DVD or lower resolution sources or well and poorly upscaled when high definition sources are available. I demuxed the disc and tried processing the video to deinterlace/decomb it at various resolutions to no avail; the combing was only made worse. Why in the world would the filmmaker output such a poor file for Blu-ray?
