Does AviSynth 2.56a not like SmoothDeinterlace anymore?

[gastorgrab]

Is the plugin no longer compatible with vers AviSynth 2.56a?

Shouldn't this work?

---------------------------------------------------
LoadPlugin("C:\Ut\Video\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
# (Yes, i know i don't have to include the path!)
#
mpeg2source("Fantastic4_VideoDiary.d2v",cpu=6)# DGDecode Output is YV12
#
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)# Smoothdeinterlacer requires YUY2
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true)# Output is Progressive
---------------------------------------------------

AviSynth v2.56a
DGDecode v1.4.5

*Fantastic4_VideoDiary.d2v is in the same directory as Fantastic4_VideoDiary.avs

I'll install version 2.55 and try again.

---edit--

Yes Sir!, version 2.55 works just fine.

Something is obviously different.

---edit--

Maybe i'm expecting too much, the quality of the source is really awful, and it's directly off the DVD?

Try this version of Smoothdeinterlacer (see attachment).

(see attachment).

--edit--

Different from either one of these?;

The one i'm using at time of post;
http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/files/smoothdeinterlacer_25_dll_20030218.zip

Looks to be slightly older;

.

[Wilbert]

Yes, a different one:

Working nicely now, Thank You!

So, was that a AviSynth 2.0 plugin i was using? (smoothdeinterlacer_25_dll_20030218.zip)

I assumed this one was for vers 2.0; (AVSSmoothDeinterlacer.zip), that's why i went the one labeled "25_dll".

A hybrid maybe?

Yes, most likely.

that's why i went the one labeled "25_dll".

A hybrid maybe?

I don't know, could be. I can't find the source of this one, so i can't check.

Anyway, some stuff changed from v2.55 to v2.56, that's why it worked for AviSynth v2.55 and not for v2.56.

After reading a bit more on colorspace i'm wondering if this is a good idea.

LoadPlugin("C:\Ut\Video\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins\SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
# (Yes, i know i don't have to include the path!)
#
mpeg2source("Fantastic4_VideoDiary.d2v",cpu=6)# DGDecode Output is YV12
#
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)# Smoothdeinterlacer requires YUY2
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true)# Output is Progressive

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/colorspace.html

Where YUY2 samples chroma once in every 2 pixels in a row, YV12 samples chroma once in every 2x2 pixel block!

Does this conversion use part of the information from the wrong field or does "(interlaced=true)" take care of things?



Should this be; 1.Separate Fields, 2. change colorspace, 3. reweave (reinterlace), and then 4. Deinterlace?

Something like this;

LoadPlugin("C:\Ut\Video\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
# (jdl-interlace.avsi) - http://www.avisynth.org/stickboy/
#
mpeg2source("IntoTheBluePreview.d2v",cpu=6)# DGDecode Output is YV12
#
jdl_UnfoldFieldsVertical(flip=true).ConvertToYUY2( interlaced=false).jdl_FoldFieldsVertical(flip=true )
#
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true,doublerate=false)

---edit--

..or maybe the conversion using DGDecode.dll would be better;

LoadPlugin("C:\Ut\Video\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
#
mpeg2source("IntoTheBluePreview.d2v",cpu=6,upConv=1)
#
SmoothDeinterlace(tff=true,doublerate=false)

---edit---

Yes, much better. The last script removed some of the blockiness (noise), or should i say avoided making blockiness.

I wondering if i should have converted back to YV12 before encoding to XviD. The black isn't as black as it used to be.

But thats just another opportunity to lose information (ConvertToYV12).
