MPlayer - mcDeint

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I just noticed that "mcDeint" filter (Motion compensating deinterlacer) in MPlayer/MEncoder.
Sounds interresting to me. But I was not able to find any information on the net yet...

There are very few information on the docs. But the docs say I have to use tfields=1 or yadif=1/3 before the mcdeint filter. But adding tfields=1 or yadif=1/3 only makes the results look extremely bad. Strange! However if I use only the mcdeint filter (*no* tfields=1 or yadif=1/3) the results look pretty good, but I get about 1 frame per second on playback (100% CPU load). Even in "fast" mode.


Does anybody know more? And how to use it?
Any info appreciated!

Well, I found out this seems to work, at least in MEncoder:
-vf yadif=3:0,mcdeint=1:0,framestep=2

But it's extremely slow and the quality is not that amazing :scared:


Still I need more info...

try this:

yadif=3:1,mcdeint=2:1:10,framestep=2,filmdint=dint_thres=256 -ofps 24000/1001 That should give you decent quality and 23.97 fps for NTSC encodes. Let me know how it comes out. This is only for true interlaced content. It will screw up badly (jitter) on teleclined material.
