Is there some software deinterlacer out there that can compare to nvidia's purevideo?

Hi folks

I'm starting this post to ask for a little bit of help if possible.

I watch some pal-satellite broadcasts as i'm in Europe.

I am very pleased on how cyberlink and purevideo deinterlace the mpeg2 content using my geforce 6600's purevideo hardware chip.

Now, i would love to know if there's any software deinterlacer I could use with virtualdub that would produce the same kind of quality. I would like to encode some recordings to xvid but i've realised that virtualdub's filter blends image, it doesn't look at all like what nvidia's purevideo can produce during playback.
Actually, is there a name for purevideo's deinterlacing technique? Is it something like smart-temporal-deinterlacing?

Any help would be appreciated by this newbie. Thanks.

MCBob would I guess.

Ah! a reply :)

thanks!

i will check out on that and see what it looks like.

i'm used to not deinterlace video when i encode to mpeg2, because my video card (+ the right codec) can do a marvelous deinterlacing during playback.

But as i wanted to try xvid out i don't know how to deinterlace it properly... i tried the smart deinterlacer from gunnar thalin and i thought it was miles away from nvidia's hardware purevideo + cyberlink.

tdeint(mode=1) if you're playing Xvid back on on your PC

do you think this can compare with nvidia's spatial temporal deinterlacing?

I'm mostly watching pal footage, so i don't think ivtc is very important for me.

Try and see.

okeydokey :)

might take a while to get the hang of it though, never tried avisynth.
