Guys, I need some help, I haven't been to the forum in a while, so sorry if I'm in the wrong topic.
I have an NTSC video, part of it, and I would like to know what is the best way to deinterlace it, that is, a 480i to 480p, so I can use it in Davinci Resolve 18 and do an Upscaling to FullHD and/or 4K.
I used the direct interlaced video, and there was a jittery artifact at the top of the video, and even using the Davinci deinterlacer it didn't work.
What would be the best software to do this? I have Megui and Hybrid installed here, I saw comments about AviSynth and FFMpeg, can anyone guide me about Scripts and how to use them so I can get the best deinterlacing please.
Here is the part of the file I mentioned, as it is showing artifacts on the nose of the second trumpet player behind the main one in an Upscaling to 1080p in Topaz Video AI v.4.0.4, using the DIONE TV preset.

I assume, if I read you correctly, the sample is the upscaled attempt.
Just post the original, interlaced, one and direct as an attachment to this topic. (as long as it does not exceed 500 mb) Or use a host that down not restrict downloads. -

The nose has it.
The AVISynth protagonists can describe how to use QTGMC to get a nice nose.

Any AviSynth deinterlacer seems to do a better job than the Topaz AI crap. One does not even need to jump onto QTGMC
And b.t.w. why always jump onto the bandwagon of deinterlacing and upscaling? Too many good video is just getting spoiled....Code:ffms2("Yanni - Tribute (1997 DVD-9 720 x480)__00012.mkv") BWDIF()

Maybe not for this particular video, but analogue captures? 50fps is much smoother than 25fps.Originally Posted by Sharc

Sure. For decent interlaced footage it may just be better to let a TV do the bob-deinterlacing and scaling rather than making things (often) worse by processing it by all means ...Originally Posted by Alwyn

Another issue is playing these files in VLC Player, a popular computer player (as you are aware). It's deinterlacer in AUTO is poor; to properly get rid of the jaggies, one needs to turn the deinterlacer ON. =nuisance.

I would not dispute that there are better deinterlacers than you get in VLC, but VLC is correct to not automatically deinterlace the source, since it's not flagged as interlaced. Auto deinterlace normally only means that frames(/macro blocks) that are flagged as interlaced get deinterlaced, not that the source gets somehow analyzed.
Just for fun, I attached something (script: https://pastebin.com/iQfevL8S) I would have hoped tools like Topaz would produce.

I don't think that software bobber to 50p can look worse that a dumb bobber in a TV set. Maybe a Faroudja or HQV chip... still, I don't think 20-year old realtime hardware can compete with modern software.Originally Posted by Sharc

I would also upscale to at least 720p for youtube. -
I'm hardware limited. My PC is too slow to smoothly play Selur's AV01 video.
I have not gotten into Vapoursynth yet, but I would have hoped NNedi3 in Avisynth would have been close to this ... -
Well my friend @Sharc, I partially agree with you, this Yanni show, as it was well recorded, and using the current Topaz Video AI v.4.0.4 preset, DIONE TV, gave a great result in Upscaling up to 1080p , looking like an HD video, it was not perfect, but considering the limitations of the older versions in which the human faces of the audience and the distant artists on the stage looked blurry or like a gouache painting, now they are almost perfect, my only complaint was these artifacts on the musician's nose, otherwise it was very good, not perfect, but very good, really looking like an HD show.Originally Posted by Sharc

It is visibly clear that these AI work much better for HD and FHD content than SD content, but they don't say this, and I know that there is a lot of content on DVD, VHS, TV, in SD that currently most software is not capable of to recover.
I noticed that Davinci Resolve 18 Upscaling does a good job for HD and FHD content, but SD, by far Topaz Video AI is light years better, with stable and more pleasant images.

P.S. Just one question: as I use Avisynth, this command you gave, as I said above I only have the MEGUI and HYBRID GUI, and I don't know how to use the Windows prompt command, could you guide me step by step on how to use and obtain the 480p file?Last edited by DruidCtba; 30th Nov 2023 at 11:23.

Very good my friend @Selur, how did you achieve this Upscaling, using what software, or what commands for this, could you show us step by step?Originally Posted by Selur
Thanks in advance for your help :P.

P.S. Now I saw my friend @Selur, the script you made to UpScale the 480i video to 1080p, I just don't know where to apply it, could you guide me please.
Funny that the result in mediainfo doesn't say that the result was a progressive video, but I saw the command:
# set output frame rate to 59.94fps (progressive)
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=60000, fpsden=1001)Last edited by DruidCtba; 29th Nov 2023 at 22:49.

And yes, I remember Farudja. It is/was a nearly perfect deinterlacer. Unfortunately TV manufacturers hardly ever (or never) specify their (proprietary) deinterlacing principle.
There are reasons for upscaling, sure. But there are pitfalls as well e.g. with the colormatrix (601 vs 709). If one is careless there is a 50% chance that things go wrong.I would also upscale to at least 720p for youtube. -
The script I used is a Vapoursynth script, which I created in Hybrid and it's torch addon.Now I saw my friend @Selur, the script you made to UpScale the 480i video to 1080p, I just don't know where to apply it, could you guide me please.
I used QTGMC for deinterlacing, cropped, then used CodeFormer followed by DPIR denoising which I applied with a limit mask to only filter suff with a luma value <=80, then I appplied CAS and used NNEDI3 to resize.
If mediainfo does not report that the source is interlaced, its progressive.Funny that the result in mediainfo doesn't say that the result was a progressive video
Also av1 does not support interlaced encoding.

Only if the tools you use do not know how to respect color matrices. And if that is the assumtion you could also encounter a player/whatever that doesn't use 709 but always something else,...If one is careless there is a 50% chance that things go wrong.

Ps.: I agree that adding a color matrix change to 709 might be a good idea when encoding for distribution.Last edited by Selur; 30th Nov 2023 at 08:52.

Friend @Selur, I sincerely thank you for all the answers and help for me here on the forum, but as I'm a complete noobie, I use GUI tools and even so, for me HYBRID and MEGUI are complex applications for my level of knowledge , which I think is in relation to you and the people here of just 1%Originally Posted by Selur
.
Anyway, taking into consideration everything I explained above, I count on your patience and again I ask you to please do a step by step guide for someone who is a complete noobie, if you can, because I think you have reached the heart of my need and that The result you obtained for me was satisfactory.
The only thing I remember, many months ago, when I had problems with the audience's faces being deformed by Topaz, was that they mentioned NNEDI3, which was an excellent UpScaling, and according to people, Topaz, uses everything you explained above in your software, but not with this advanced knowledge, which is why the musician's nose fails, and that paying almost US$400, when you have the same for free and better, is not worth it, only if you don't have no knowledge on how to use these commands, which is my case.
In any case, I reiterate that I need you to tell me in detail, and step by step, how you did, so that I can use it here, both for this Yanni DVD, and for others that I have here to try to improve the image, now that record companies refuse to produce such an improvement of their productions to HD, FHD and/or 4K content from their original analogue tapes, which is very sad, as many memorable shows and films deserve this, and I can name one, apart from Tribute by Yanni, which made me very upset that record companies didn't do it, which is Jean Michel Jarre's show - Live In Beijing, and Loreena McKennitt's - Nights From The Alhambra
.
From what I understand, you did something very complex, you used not just HYBRID, anyway, I could be wrong, but there were several steps that I didn't understand very well and I can't even reproduce it here :/, sorry.

P.S. In the case of the show Loreena McKennitt - Nights From The Alhambra, a user of rutracker, did a wonderful job, like the one you did here, which was 99% perfect, but he didn't want to say how he did it, only that he didn't use any application like Topaz or another and yes all these open source tools with ffmpeg and avisynth (you certainly used NNEDI3, QTGMC, CAS, Vapoursynth, etc.)Last edited by DruidCtba; 30th Nov 2023 at 11:24.

Hybrid is meant for advanced users and yes, I not simply threw a source into Hybrid and pressed a button and there was the output.
(I didn't try to tweak the options and only used some values that looked 'okay' to do what I had in mind when I saw the source.)
To be frank, writing a step-by-step seems to be too much trouble, for someone who doesn't really care enough to write even the name of the tool correct.
That said what I did to end up with the script I posted was, I:- Installed Hybrid + addons.
- Started Hybrid, set default output paths. (save defaults)
- Loaded the source (Base->Open File).
- Overwrote the scan order, which wrongly was indicated as progressive to 'Top Field First' (by enabling 'Filtering->(De-)Interlace/Telecine->Deinterlace/Telecine Settings->Overwrite scan type to' and setting it to 'top field first').
- Enabled bobbed deinterlacing by the selected deinterlacer ('QTGMC (Vapoursynth)') (by enabling 'Filtering->(De-)Interlace/Telecine->QTGMC Vapoursynth->Bob'),
- Cropped the source to '702x480' (by enabling 'Crop/Resize->Base->Picture Crop' and setting left=12, right=6, top=0, bottom=0).
- Set the output PAR to 1:1 (by enabling 'Crop/Resize->Base->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Convert output to PAR' and setting it to 'Square Pixel (1:1)').
- Set the output width to 1920 (by setting 'Crop/Resize->Base->Picture Resize->Target resolution->Width' to 1920)
- Then I enabled and configured CodeFormer (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Other->CodeFormer' and setting 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Other->CodeFormer->Weight' to 1).
- Moved the CodeFormer-call directly behind the Crop-call. (by adjusting the order in 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Filter Order/Queue').
- Enabled the masking UI elements (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->UI->Show 'Masked' controls').
- Enabled and configured DPIR denoising (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->DeNoise->DPIR' and setting it's strength to 15)
- Enabled and configured the masking for DPIR (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->DeNoise->DPIR->Masked' - scroll to the right - and setting the Limit to 80).
- Enabled and configured contrast sharpening through CAS (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Sharpen->CAS' and setting 'Sharpness' to 0.6)
- Enabled the use of NNEDI3 (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Frame->Resizer' and setting it to 'NNEDI3').
- What I did not do, but what might help in further in playback compatibility, is to convert the color matrix to BT 709 or 2020ncl (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Color->Matrix->ColorMatrix' an adjusting the output; by default Hybrid will use here 2020ncl since the output resolution > 1080p)
- I also told Hybrid to use DGDecNV as source filter (by enabling 'Filtering->Vapoursynth->Source->Use DGDecNV when available), but that is not really needed.
- Then I configured the output video encoder, container, set the output name, let Hybrid create a job and after that started the job.
The script I created with these steps looks like this:

Keep in mind that to do this, you will need Hybrid, the torch-addon and a rather powerful NVIDIA GPU. CodeFormer only works with an NVIDIA gpu.
(for DPIR can also be used through vs-mlrt to not require an NVIDIA gpu)
Also, without understanding what I did there you will probably not be able to adjust this in case the settings cause problems in other clips/sections,...
=> This is the main difference between using Vapoursynth/Avisynth against Topaz tools. Yes, with enough knowledge and drive you can often produce better results than Topaz&Co, but without proper understanding you might not get any decent result. So depending on the source and what the goal is for tons of users using something like Topaz might be a good choice.

Thank you my friend @Selur, for the prompt response, and please apologize for the error in the application name, which I have already corrected
.
Do you mean to say that without an NVIDIA GPU I won't be able to achieve the same results that you achieved on your machine?
Well, I have a modest home computer for home use, a Rizen 3 3220G with an ASROCK A320M-HD MOBO and 32GB of DD4 3200KHz KINGSTON FURY RAM.
I'll try to see if I can follow your steps, or do you think that without an NVIDIA GPU I shouldn't even try?
Anyway, thanks for the tips, and your patience and answers to my noobie questions, and may God bless you always for your altruism and time spent here with us.

P.S. You encouraged me to study these commands and scripts, and if you have any tutorials to recommend, I would appreciate it in advance.

CodeFormer is for the face enhancement/replacement.I'll try to see if I can follow your steps, or do you think that without an NVIDIA GPU I shouldn't even try?

Seeing your (rather low) computation power and the fact that you don't have a (powerful) NVIDIA GPU, I would not recommend trying this approach, since it will not be so great and also will be !terribly! slow.
Cu Selur
Ps.: no clue about a good Vapoursynth or Avisynth tutorial (the ones at the project pages are not that good)
stuff like:
https://www.l33tmeatwad.com/vapoursynth101
https://iamscum.wordpress.com/_test1/_test2/
https://guide.encode.moe/encoding/basics-and-workflow.html
seems useful, but no clue how good they are for newbies.Last edited by Selur; 30th Nov 2023 at 12:00.

Attached an example of using conventional (no NVIDIA card or ml stuff aside from NNEDI3 + can be done with Avisynth&Vapoursynth) filtering. (script: https://pastebin.com/vKLn0cRJ)

That's gone too far, it's clearly degraded the quality. (haloes, no real detail, etc)Originally Posted by Selur
Perhaps 720p would be bettter - unless the 1080p takes priority based on the resolution alone? -
I understand friend @Selur, although the time factor wouldn't be that stressful for me, for example, with my machine, in Topaz Video AI v.4.0.4, using DIONE TV, 1 h 24 min of Yanni's show - Tribute, it took 14 hours, 2.7 fps per second, do you think with everything you did this would take 24 hours or more?Originally Posted by Selur
I look for the quality of these operations at all costs, with an UpScaling to 1080p, it would be very good, and I will have to pay the price of time, because of my modest configuration.
Well, I'm continuing my journey and I'm going to take a look at the tutorials you gave me.
May God always bless you for everything and thank you very much for your understanding and time in responding promptly.

Apparently yes, my friend @davexnet, as the degradation is visible, you could even notice some tremors, anyway, in the previous case my friend @Selur used specific commands for the NVIDIA GPU, if I'm not mistaken, and also the CodeFormer software, which adds considerable value to the faces, which for me made all the difference, anyway, apart from the problem with the musician's nose, generated by Topaz's DIONE TV, the rest of the show performed reasonably well for 1080p, which is the definition that look.Originally Posted by davexnet

I agree, I thought Selurs previous version was very good. What is the casue of Topaz causing such damage to the musicians nose?Originally Posted by DruidCtba

Is it an aggressive setting somewhere? -
@davenext: used TemporalDegrain2, using SMDegrain or simply adjusting the strenght of the filtering would probably be less destructive.
@DruidCtba: did a quick testing on a Ryzen 9 9850 with an NVIDIA 4080 and got around ~2.5fps, so my system it would probably take a similar time that it took you on yours to run Topaz.users currently on my ignore list: deadrats, Stears555, marcorocchini
