Deinterlacing with Hybrid?

Any chance on adding the official Huffyuv? (maybe integrate with both hofmand .msi?)

Huffyuv is vfw only, since I don't know of any vfw command line encoder interface (that supports pipes): No

I have bad recorded tapes on panasonic vcr nv sd 20. To avoid sometimes shaky picture (afters aligning vcr to cassette) the best is to get the same model of vcr or maybe some sharp 4 head hifi known for good tracking? Thanks for answering.

Hi Selur, while you are about.....I am trying to output mono sound from Hybrid so that it will play through both speakers. In audio tab - audio encoding options - filtering there is an option for downmix which includes "to stereo" etc but when selected nothing happens and the sound is still on one channel. In the help section it refers to a sox manual but the link is dead. Any advice please?

[Selur]

iirc. using custom and

1v1 1v1

should use the first input channel and copy it to the first and second output channel

[kimblerulez]

iirc ?

I ticked Merge streams and ticked custom and entered 1v1 1v1 but still single channel.

I probably did not understand your reply.

- load VirtualDub batches, start batch
- go make cookies, eat the cookies, and come back in a few hours

I've got a BIG problem, I can't go make my cookies
I made a sript file for each of the avis as follows;

SetFilterMTMode ("QTGMC", 2)
FFMPEGSource2("Travis.avi", atrack=1)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Slower", EdiThreads=12)
BilinearResize(720,576)
Prefetch(10)

with each avi name enter in each script. I save the first to que and load the second avi and VD2 just freezes. First time trying to batch with avisynth and Virtualdub2 and having no luck. What am I doing wrong please??

We're all getting older. I sometimes have a hard time R'ing, much less RC'ing.

Why these lines: ?

Again, why? :

Slower softens. Only use if less-harsh presets fail. Try the Medium and Faster first.
EdiThreads doesn't really do anything. It may, but may also actually add processing time.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Avisynth and the 64-bit version of VirtualDub2?

Yes, I am using 64bit version of both. The "about" say "AvsPmod v2.7.8.8 (Windows x86-64) The first file loaded seems to load ok and when I open new file it freezes when I try to use Batch que.

Could you edit my code to what it should be please?

SetFilterMTMode ("QTGMC", 2)
FFMPEGSource2("1.mp4", atrack=1)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Slower")
BilinearResize(720,576)
Prefetch(10)

Ah, it says not responding but it is just taking quite a while to load the file so that part is sorted. If you could kindly show me how my script should look, it's cookie time!

-- merged --

Lordsmurf (or anyone), would you be so kind as to show me how the code should read please as this is my first attempt at Avisynth? I is just a simple script just to deinterlace with QTGMC as above.

I would use VirtualDub2 to extract the source MP4, then Save As it out to something lossless. Either Huffyuv (hofmand 64-bit installer of the 32-bit codec), or Lagarith. Using compressed source is just overcomplicating the resource needs.

I never screw around with memory settings. Too often, it causes glitches and weirdness. I'm not that impatient, and my main Win7 i7 video restoration computer is dedicated to that task.

AviSource("c:\1.avi")
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Faster") 

#QTGMC(preset="Medium") --- use this if Faster gives motion/aliasing artifacts
# and understand that # before a line is commenting out

Crop/mask next as needed.

Bilinear isn't my favorite. Bicubic, Lanszos, and some others, are generally better than bilinear. It really depends on content. In general, bicubic is safest, the rest must be case-by-case.
