Deinterlace option in MPC-HC?

[antdude]

Hi!

Does MPC-HC (e.g., v1.6.1.4081) come with an deinterlaced video option? I know ffdshow has it, but that requires to be installed.

Thank you in advance. :)

VMR-9 r. can use the deinterlacers in the VMR-9 mixer, EVR CP and EVR Sync can use the deinterlacers in the EVR mixer. There are some other deinterlacers in the code, but those are of questionable quality, and would insert themselves in a very wrong rendering stage.
A requirement is that the deinterlacing flags are correctly carried upstream to the renderer from the decoder. In general, the deinterlacing options of VMR-9 and EVR are configurable in the video section of the configuration panel of the graphics adapter.

In EVR and VRM9 you can pick which deinterlacers you want to use. Depending on your graphics card you might have extra available, ie with nvidia you can get motion adaptive deinterlacing which is fairly awesome. There is no reason why the user can't pick them through some menu or something.

I only see them in motions/fast scenes for 1080i MPEG-2 and TS videos. VLC's deinterlace options worked without touching ATI's CCC settings.

As for EVR and VMR9, where are the deinterlace options in MPC-HC? I think I am missing them. :(

The renderer automatically picks the 'best' available. But you can choose them in the API. Maybe mpc-hc doesn't expose them.

The API is called in the interface handler of the player. Because I've never seen EVR or VMR-9 doing something wrong in regard of picking a deinterlacer, I don't override the setting. The most common deinterlacing issue is caused by the decoders. The deinterlacing flags are in some cases not correctly carried upstream to the renderer from the decoder. If there are no flags carried for which fields are pulldown, top, bottom or progressive, there's no way that a mixer or renderer can do any sort of sensible deinterlacing.

I assume VLC has its own.

madVR has a built-in DXVA2 based deinterlacer. might wanna take a look.

madVR is a video renderer that can be used by MPC-HC.

It is not really recommended for old hardware though.

i've had a lot of success with madVR on older hardware(HD2400 Pro AGP) by setting it to use the hardware bilinear resizers instead of the default ones. even better performance than vmr9 and evr on that system. so i still would recommend it.

Is http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146228 the official download?

[Mangix]

yes that's it. not sure what you're asking though. are you asking if it supports a fullscreen mode? If so then yes.

[antdude]

yes that's it. not sure what you're asking though. are you asking if it supports a fullscreen mode? If so then yes.Yes, fullscreen only on my 20" CRT TV from 1996. I can't get that to work with VMR-9 and EVR. Only overlay mixer and VMR-7.

[Mangix]

no clue. try it!
