im very new to ripping dvds and i want to know if there's anything i can do to improve the quality of my rips for my collection; when i was watching one of my dvds in my ps4 i noticed that the video quality was significantly better than my own rips; i followed the dvd decrypt [iso] to makemkv
It looks like VLC is deinterlacing it automatically as soon as you play the ISO. The default method is probably YADIF which isn't meant for animation or film sources so set it to IVTC if it's a NTSC DVD or disable deinterlacing altogether to so it can return every frame as-is.
make screenshots from the same source as in both from TV or both from VLC. I have a feeling VLC is doing some stuff here and the same is happening on the TV.
