IVTC or Yadif?

[pooksahib]

I've started work on a PAL DVD with mouseteeth. "Bob" reveals movement every second frame and my notes say "...IVTC using TFM". Being curious, I ran the 'Analyse' function in MeGUI and it pointed me to Yadif. I did some googling on 'IVTC vs Yadif' and ended up reading about TempGauss. Said manono in 2009: "If quality and not encoding time is your main concern, then nothing beats TempGaussMC."

I installed TempGaussMC_beta2.avsi and the required plugins but couldn't get the script to run.

My questions then: Do I definitely NOT need QTGMC where movement is every two frames? Which to use: IVTC, Yadif or something else?

Many thanks.

Attach a sample.

TempGaussMC

That is (Q)TGMC. (Q for Quick).

Thanks, Alwyn. One lives, one learns... I did edits using Yadif and tfm (TIVTC) but can't tell the difference. I'll stick with Yadif solely based on another manono uttering: "Yadif is, in my opinion, the fastest good deinterlacer."

[manono]

Maybe the fastest, but far from the best. That must have been a long time ago I wrote that. I use a different fast bobber now.

And you don't IVTC a PAL video. TFM, maybe. And if TFM is the way to go, that produces better quality than any deinterlacer or bobber.
