    What's the best deinterlace fiilter?

    Hi guys! This is my second message in this forum, and my very first in this section, which I think is a very useful resource for informations, thanks to all of you experts. I myself have started doing rippings and encodings, and as all newbies I started with Flask. Alas, even if I am one of the lucky ones without any kind of serious problem with that piece of software, I find it terribly SLOW. And it's not a great thing to wait four to six hours to get a couple of screwed frames at the end of the movie... I am starting to explore GordianKnot... more precisely, I frameserve with the help of Gordianknot to VDub and then do the encoding. I was wondering, however, how good Avisynth is at deinterlacing, I tried a few comparative small movies, but honestly I haven't seen such a big difference. Note that I am not that picky, I only want to have as few ghosting problems as possible, and possibly a picture that is not too blurred. I am used to Flask's Interpolate which IMVHO is quite detailed but glittering, and I have read it should be caused by bob deinterlacing if I am correct. SO, to sum it up, what is the deinterlace filter you guys think is best? GK/VD proved to be very speedy, so I'd like to dump SlugMpeg for it, but first I need to know about this topic.
    Besides... (me sorry) I mainly use PAL movies, so I haven't 3:2 pulldown problems to cope with. And I have read Nicky's guide about deinterlacing, but to hear just one bell maybe isn't enough.

    Still there?? Still awake? Well, any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot at least for having read.

    I use TMPGEnc's Inverse Telecine. This rules out the use of GK and hence you need to use vFAPI, which can read .tpr (TMPGEnc Project) files.

      Try Smartdeinterlace if you want to use AviSynth. Smartdeinterlace is a VDub filter and can be downloaded from http://sauron.mordor.net/dgraft/smart.html

      and copy the vdf-file to "virtual_dub\plugins".

      Download the collection of scripts of VDub filters (vdub_filters_v12.zip) which can be found on



      Open the avs-file in a text-editor and read the first couple of remarks. After that search for the function "VD_SmartDeinterlace".

      example 1 (blending frames):

      VD_SmartDeinterlace("frame","luma",false,true,fals e,false,15,100)

      example 2 (interpolating frames):

      VD_SmartDeinterlace("frame","luma",false,false,tru e,false,15,100)

      example 3 (blending fields):

      VD_SmartDeinterlace("field","luma",false,true,fals e,false,15,100)

      etc.

      Try which one gives the best results for you.

        A faster idea would be to use Decomb. It is an AVISynth filter written by the author of SmartDeinterlacer (from the above post). Decomb
        A good guide on how to use it is here . Hope this helps.

          Wow, already three replies! Thanks, folks, I'll give them a try, and I hope to find the best one to use... I told you, I already tried to compare those from Flask and those which come with Avisynth (smart/fast/none), but I didn't see big differences... I'll try again with a different source, and see the results.
          Of course, should any problem arise, I'll be back here bugging you

            Just a note. Flask has lousy deinterlacing ability.

                Yes. I still appreciate its ability to parse .ifo files.
