I assume that post refers to the FFTW3.dll issue above... FFTW3.dll is not itself an avisynth plugin. It's a module used by FFT3DFilter. You can't use LoadPlugin on it. Using SetWorkingDir alone will work (as long as no plugin or other script changes the working directory... )

My wish?
Some expert makes a GUI for QTGMC.
I honestly am not able use it... just my fault.

@fusebyte: be a bit more thankful by turning the complain into a petition. Its a hard work of one guy for free, but GUI? this is avisynth...

I just notice (or re-discover) a pattern that QTGMC() fails but TGMC() works.

Pick a true intelaced footage (say, NTSC) that has a solid black 1-pixel line at row 478 on every frame. After bobbing, QTGMC() will have the black removed on even frames, and a 2-pixel-high black line on odd frames. TGMC() keeps the 1-pixel black line on every frame.

You didn't note your settings [or did you literally use QTGMC()?].
No time to check right now, but maybe Border=true or SVThin=1.0 will restore same behavior. They are defaults changed from original TGMC
[Why? My material never needs Border=true, it can cause occasional artefacts of its own and is a *tiny* bit slower. SVThin - I just don't like the results]

It's TGMC(tr2=3,EDIMode="NNEDI3") vs QTGMC(Preset="Slower",tr2=3). I also notice similar behaviour in sadie's DV sample. His DV seems to leave the topmost line black in some scenes, and after QTGMC(), the black line will disappear and then duplicate on alternate frames.

I looked at sadie's example - I don't see a topmost black line - I see a darker line on the second line. And, yes it dances on QTGMC defaults - and the difference from TGMC is that you need Border=true.

The QTGMC docs say of Border: "set true you see flickering on the very top or bottom line of the output" (yep I guess that needs to read 'lines')
There's section at the end of the docs comparing with TGMC which also answers this question.

You set edimode="nnedi3" on TGMC, only modded versions of beta2 support nnedi3, in the original version that will just do a bob. So let's be exact:

TempGaussMC_beta2() is the same as:
TempGaussMC_beta2( 2,2,1, 4,0,4, "eedi2" ) is the same as:
QTGMC( preset="Slower", edimode="eedi2", border=true, svthin=1.0, lsad=1600, precise=true )
[Corrected - thanks Taurus]

The other default differences: Precise switches on/off barely visible steps for a small speed-up. lsad is different because the MVTools documentation is especially confusing on whether that setting should be scaled by blocksize - I had to read the MVTools source code to find that it shouldn't be.

I made a quick reference table of how the presets affect the settings. I'm deinterlacing 1080i so I've used "faster" as the benchmark.

@Vit
Are you sure TempGaussMC_beta2() uses "nnedi2" as default?
From the TempGaussMC_beta2.avsi:
Code:
# Defaults for EDI interpolation
EdiMode   = default( EdiMode,"EEDI2")
Same for TempGaussMC_beta2u.avsi mod (nnedi3 support).

Taurus: You're right! I changed my version a long time ago to default to nnedi2, and forgot. I've edited the post above. The equivalence is still there, QTGMC supports EEDI2 also.

nhope: Thanks for that. The presets gradually change. The upcoming version has some noise-related changes because I've brought in [motion-compensated] dfttest.

@ nhope & -Vit-
Would be nice if you could upload that preset table and made it available on GoogleDocs (not necessarily editable by others)
I'm sure it could be helpful for further development/discussion/changes tracking of this wonderful QTGMC script, thanks!

3.11 works much more stable.
About 30fps for 60i SD (slow preset) on 2x X5450. 8 cores at 90%.

Used on 60i footage, which had real 60i, badly deinterlaced 60i, 30p and 23.976+pulldown- hahhaha. Final result 29.97p upscaled to HD plays smooth

Amazing piece of script
Thanks Vit.

Andrew

Wait a minute, 30fps for 60i SD for dual X5450s? I know from a report of a fellow QTGMC user that a i7-2600K gets 57fps on slow preset. Granted, that is with encoding to lossless, so perhaps you are using very slow x264 settings? Or perhaps you have not multi-threaded your script properly?

@ -Vit- - I'll try to remember to go back and update it when your new versions come out.

@ kypec - Version with "faster" as the benchmark & version with "medium" as the benchmark. I just changed the colours to make it easier to visualise the effect of changing the presets, depending on your preset starting point.

In my script I am following QTGMC with a SelectEven() and a LanczosResize(1280,720). For multi-threading, should I put Distributor() before or after these lines?

It's from Canopus Lossless to Canopus Lossless- no encoding

setmtmode(mode=5, threads=8)
avisource("R:\SD.avi",audio=false)
converttoyv12(interlaced=true)
setmtmode(mode=2)
QTGMC( Preset="slow", EdiThreads=4)
converttoyuy2()
selecteven()


EdiThreads=4- tried different values- nothing helps.

Any idea?

X5450 are quite old- way slower than i7.

I was using avisynth 2.5.7.5 MT dll. Updated to 2.5.8 and now it's crashing much more

nhope: Firstly you can do the horizontal resize (to 1280) before the QTGMC call for a good speed up without loss, just do the vertical resize afterwards.

Distributor() goes at the end of the script. You may not need it - it depends what encoding GUI you use. Try it without.

Thanks for the tip. I had wondered about that. Sorry to stray off topic but if I am resizing in one direction at a time as you suggest, is Lanczos3 still a sensible algorithm to use? I am downscaling to 1280x720 from 1920x1080 or 1440x1080 anamorphic.

I am using x264 in MeGUI. Do you know if that normally requires Distributor()? I am only using a Core 2 Duo here in 32-bit XP and when I tested multi-threading without Distributor I had a slight speed drop over ST when I included Distributor and a crash when I didn't. I guess it's not worth attempting MT with a Core 2 Duo but I'm writing a QTGMC/MeGUI tutorial that will be read by a lot of quadcore+ users so I want to guide them the right way.

All avisynths resizers operate in two passes anyway (horizontal and vertical). So you don't need to do anything different if you split it up like this and there's no performance penalty from resizing twice in this particular way.

MeGUI requires Distributor(). The MT docs in the OP and in the script apply best to those with 4+ cores. With less cores there is less scope for MT tweaking, especially at HD, but if you ever see your CPU is not close to 100%, then you should see if you can get more out of MT (unless you have stability issues).

kolak: Try all versions of MT avisynth, everyone seems to have different stability results. Some find 2.6MT works well.
