View Full Version : The best deinterlace filter for Avisynth (TomsMoComp)

Hi!

I did some testing with a "new" deinterlace filter for Avisynth:
TomsMoComp (www.trbarry.com)

It uses motion compensation and adaptive processing (like SmartDeinterlace), it doesn't change frame rate and resolution, it's fast and easy-to-use (only 2 parameters)

I compared it with some Bob-like filters (DG,Smart), SmartDeinterlace (VD, blend and interpolate methods), "single field method" and "half resolution method" using a DV file and 2vobs (a really-bad-interlaced music video and a chapter of a movie), so the results are:

-in hi-low motion scenes TMC is the best: no deint.-scaline artefacts, no one "mice teeth" visible, pictures are sharp.

-in static scenes the definition is really high, even enabling the "vertical filter"; if the source quality is almost perfect, with SmartDeinterlace (if you can find the right parameters) you can get better results.

-fluidity is quite good, considering the fact that it doesn't double the frame rate (unlike Bob)

The syntax is:
TomsMoComp(-1,SearchEffort,VerticalFilter)
"-1" means that it will be automatically revealed if the file is TopFieldFirst or not, if it doesn't work 0=false, 1=true.
SearchEffort: -1 to 30; with -1 the filter just doubles the vertical resolution, 0 is like a smarter Bob (bad), values of 1 to 30 are "normal" and are referred to the strength of the filter; i prefer 1-5.
VerticalFilter: 1=on 0=off; it reduces flickering and artifacts, very useful for DivX compression

Let me know what you think about it!


P.S. Does anybody know why isn't possible to change the title of a thread?

thx for the info. Was doubting which filter to use. Is it also available for VD?

since frameserving via avisynth is the best choice and of course possible/necessary with vd, you are able to use any avs-filter

+++++

the avisynth editor in DVX btw will let you add filters like tomsmocomp most easily:

What i use to do is i use grodian knot as my gui for avisynth. I create a avs file (txt file, somehow) and load this in VD (or vdmod). This way VD uses the Toms... filter. Results were fantastic. I had a horrible (old) movie to rip. The build in deinterlace filter of VD couldn't handle the interlacing. Especially around dark/bright borders the interlacing was still visual. But with this filter and (avisynth) results were perfect. I can only recommend this filter for de-interlacing.


I really have to give this DVX a try.....are you getting royalties Unca????

I did'nt like DVX since i was convinced you could'nt have 128kbps for sound quality. But since uncas says it's available then i'll have to give it a bash sometime.

Hmmn, i wonder :D
