List of common Resizer used

[buzzqw]

Hi All!

i want to update the list of resizer on AutoMKV ,till now the aplication supports

PointResize
BilinearResize
BicubicResize
BicubicResize (soft=0,0.333)
SimpleResize
FastBilinearResize
BicubicResize (neutral=0,0.50)
Spline36Resize
BicubicResize (sharp=0,0.66)
BicubicResize (sharp=0,0.75)
Lanczos4Resize
LanczosResize

and i want to add HybridFupp presets "medium", "high", "very high", "low", "very low", "anime1", "anime2", "HybridQ"

but the list will be too huge and can cause confusion to new users

Since the main scope of AutoMKV is to do dvd (and not only) backup to xvid/x264/wmv and so these resizers will be used only as downsizer i will ask you what to include and what to exclude.

Please remember that automv is aimed to "newby" (or so) user and i don't want to let users have too wide options, i think that 4(min) to 8 (max) resizers are the optimal list

Please cast your vote and feel free to write down the list of your preferred (or most commonly used resizer)

thanks!

WarpedResize - automatically chosen for changing aspect ratios only. If automkv doesn't even support that, don't bother.
Bilinear - Softer.
Spline36 (maybe 16) - Normal.
Lanczos - Sharper. Pick your taps, 3 is default, 4+ is slower but sharper (not always a good thing).
Those three should easily cover everything 99% of people want to do.

The speed difference is so small in my experience, that it's not worth differentiating with. Go with the effects. Sharp bicubic is almost useless compared to lanczos, but soft bicubic as an intermediate between spline & bilinear might be useful - or gauss. Point is pointless. =p Simple and fastbilinear don't have a real niche.

thanks foxyshadis!

so your list will be

Bilinear
soft bicubic
Spline36
BicubicResize (sharp=0,0.75)
Lanczos

about simpleresize, is my preferred :)... fast, accurate, not sharpening , not blurring

Gr8 synopsis...

I'm pretty much an amatuerish newbie myself but it would still be nice to have the tools at our disposal and access to the knowledge (wiki) to eventually produce pretty eye-catching encodes.

While MKVMagic may be the next step to all-out proficiency... we could still have levels of newbie and advanced-newbie on the road to 'encoding utopia'.

Aren't these resizers all individual files somewhere in AutoMKV's folder?

I'm just wondering if you change the defaults if experienced users who would like to keep the other options will be able to just copy a few files from their old version of AutoMKV to the new package and have that huge unwieldy list of resizers. :D

[buzzqw]

all the listed resizers are internals fuctions of avisynth

if i remove these from the program you will not allowed to select/use it more

the actual list is

BilinearResize
BicubicResize (0,0.333)
SimpleResize
BicubicResize (0,0.50)
Spline36Resize
BicubicResize (0,0.75)
LanczosResize
HybridFuPP Low
HybridFuPP HybridQ
HybridFuPP High
HybridFuPP Anime 1

i hope to adjust this list with your help

Looking through MkvMagic... the page on Avs Optimizer gives a pretty clear idea on how the filter works and when best to make use of it...

So too, the section on Resize Filters (click to C)

Which filters are usefull in total colour modification... or even 'special effects'...

@delacroixp

your post are totally off-topic

please stay in topic

the avs optimize section of mkvmagic isn't the resizer section... and as already said i want to do it as easy as possible

For most cases, I use bilinear. I used to use simpleresize a lot, but it doesn't do as well when downscaling by large factors, and with near horizontal/vertical lines (the pixels are too visable for my taste). I still use simpleresize if I'm in a hurry. I use Lanczos for upscaling.
