Sorry I know this is in the wrong section but i'm a newbie and can't find the area this is supposed to go in - please forgive my ignorance - oops!!

hi folks i'm new to this and this may be the wrong forum for this but i need to know...

I'm through using gknot and fairuse - i decided to do all my dvd rips manually using vdub, avisynth and nandub to mux to create DivX files for my standalone player.

I just have a quick question.

Which filters do you go with??
The Vdub Filters or the Avisynth Filters?

and also if you use two (of the same) on the same video from both programs do they cancel each other out or just "overdo the job" making the video look crappy??

I'm using avisynth to do my tv series dvd episodes and i was wondering which de-interlacer to use?

The smooth/field/bob/kernel deinterlacer from avisynth or the deinterlace filter from within Vdub??

Or does it only use one?:goodpost:

Hello, and welcome to the forum,

Sorry I know this is in the wrong section but i'm a newbie and can't find the area this is supposed to go in - please forgive my ignorance - oops!!

We have a Newbie Forum.

The Vdub Filters or the Avisynth Filters?

If you're using AviSynth, you use AviSynth filters, unless there's one in VDub for which there is no AviSynth equivalent. Otherwise you cancel out some of the benefit of using AviSynth in the first place (speed and quality).

and also if you use two (of the same) on the same video from both programs do they cancel each other out or just "overdo the job" making the video look crappy??

It's sometimes OK to run the same filter twice.

There's a good chance you don't deinterlace at all, but can IVTC instead. Other than that, if you really do need to deinterlace, I recommend LeakKernelDeint for a good combination of speed and quality, TDeint for slightly slower and maybe slightly better results, and there are several even better and super-slower ones.
