Deinterlacing and TempGaussMC

[Tahlos]

I need to deinterlace my videos and I was told tempgaussMC is the best for this. I tried MPEG streamclip and the lines are still sort of there. I need help using TempGaussMC. Could someone tell me where to get the required plugins for avisynth and how to use it?

You may have more than just a simple interlace problem. I suggest you demux a short clip from your source video and post it for others to examine.

There are links to all the other required filters there too.

I have 18 seconds of footage that I am using to test deinterlacing programs on. Should I post it raw?

Sure.

how should I compress it? It is currently 1.4 GB and 90 MB with Vdub.

Your source file is 1.4 GB? What container and video codec? What video codec did you use in VirtualDub to get a 90 MB file?

Since you can open your file in VirtualDub try using its deinterlace filter in Yadif mode. See what you think. Even with it's chroma problems it will probably look better than MPEG Streamclip's deinterlacing.

The real source is a couple hours long (I record from a Hauppauge HD PVR). I then took a part of the footage I am going to be using and rendered it as an AVI uncompressed in Vegas. I then used h.264 (vfw) in VirtualDub to get a 90 MB file.

Forgive me for asking all the download links, but I cant seem to find Yadif.

yadif is included in recent virtualdub builds as an internal filter

if you want avisynth version

If you just want to use tempgaussmc , the script is simple. Warning: it is a VERY SLOW filter. Open a file with notepad in the same directory as your video, copy the script below, changing filename to match, save it, then rename extension from .txt to .avs.

AVISource("video.avi")
ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
TempGaussMC_beta1()

You can feed that .avs into any encoder that accepts avs scripts. e.g. in vdub, use video=>fast recompress, file=>save as avi . If you want to use compression use video=>compression before saving

This will bob deinterlace (so keep temporal resolution) a 60i video will become 60p, not 30p
