In search for speedy deinterlacer, but with appropriate quality

[Benedikt]

Hi there,

filters like TomsMoComp are softening the image quality too much (at least for me), while high-quality filters like TDeint are much too heavy for my Athlon 1200 video encoding box.
So I'm currently searching for a deinterlacing filter
-> which isn't too costly in terms of processing power
-> which shouldn't soften the image
-> which doesn't need SSE/2/3 to perform adequately

Do you have any suggestions for me? As I said, I'd like to keep the movie sharpness intact. Which deinterlacing routine do you use for your day-to-day encoding work?
And, one final question: If you had to choose between the more common deinterlacing routines, which one would you prefer: KernelDeint or TomsMoComp?

Thanks in advance,
Benedikt

Have you tried LeakKernelDeint?

[Revgen]

LeakKernelDeint with the Sharp=true setting should be fast and shouldn't soften your image as much.

Yeah, LeakKernelDeint is pretty damn good as well. People seem to use a threshold of 6 or 8 (or even lower when using it for bobbing) instead of the default 10, so try that.

Thanks @all for your help!
