Hello! I've been lurking the forums all day trying to take in as much info as possible, and I've been messing with Hybrid with great success, though the program is daunting with the sheer amount of options it has.
Sample source is an old PAL TV recording recorded using a period accurate video recorder that recorded to mpeg-2 at 720x576 @ ~9k bitrate and its only input option is RCA ().
So far I've been using x264 and NVenc (to see what was faster but it's about the same, 60fps), cropping black bars, upscaling to 1080p and using QTGMC and Vapoursynth to deinterlace and apply some filters and the quality improvement is noticeable.Code:General Complete name : D:\VideoTest\Medallas\20120811_2319_Medallas_Fem.mpg Format : MPEG-PS File size : 471 MiB Duration : 7 min 5 s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 9 271 kb/s Frame rate : 25.000 FPS Video ID : 224 (0xE0) Format : MPEG Video Format version : Version 2 Format profile : Main@Main Format settings : BVOP Format settings, BVOP : Yes Format settings, Matrix : Default Format settings, GOP : M=3, N=12 Format settings, picture struc : Frame Duration : 7 min 5 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 8 830 kb/s Maximum bit rate : 9 800 kb/s Width : 720 pixels Height : 576 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate : 25.000 FPS Standard : PAL Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Interlaced Scan order : Top Field First Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.852 Time code of first frame : 00:00:00:00 Time code source : Group of pictures header GOP, Open/Closed : Open GOP, Open/Closed of first fram : Closed Stream size : 448 MiB (95%) Color primaries : BT.601 PAL Transfer characteristics : BT.470 System B/G Matrix coefficients : BT.470 System B/G Audio ID : 192 (0xC0) Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 2 Duration : 7 min 5 s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 256 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 41.667 FPS (1152 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Delay relative to video : -17 ms Stream size : 13.0 MiB (3%) Menu Format : DVD-Video
I didn't want to alter the source, datacap users we warned:
Original file (470 MB): https://www.mediafire.com/file/ptztxw1bo0a4tkc/20120811_2319_Medallas_Fem.mpg/file
Output (220 MB): https://www.mediafire.com/file/ptvstxjeb5h7dpv/20120811_2319_Medallas_Fem_hybrid_GPU-n...arpen.mp4/file
Settings used! If not in the screenshot, it's the default.
Do you think I can improve it in any way? There are thousands of possible combinations between the different filters, without counting all the individual options and I don't even know where to start.
BTW I'm not using Filtering - Vapoursynth - Frame - Resize - NNEDI3 as Selur recommended in some post because I saw no gain in quality taking x6 time to complete.
Thanks for your help!!
