QTGMC de-interlacer on macOS

[KingLir]

I desperately need the community help.

I am trying to run QTGMC de-interlacer on macOS. So, I figured VapourSynth is the only way. Am I right ?

I installed Vapoursynth using brew and the needed plugins/libs, but unable to build or find a copy of vapoursynth-scxvid for macOS.
I figured that scxvid is what I am missing because of the error messages I get (a copy at the end below).
When trying to compile the latest source of vapoursynth-scxvid from GitHub, after successful run of autogen.sh, when I run ./configure I get:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... darwin16.3.0 dyld
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
configure: error: failed to link libxvidcore. See config.log for details.

I tried adding --prefix with the location of libxvidcore.a, libxvidcore.4.dylib and xvid.h - but no change.

This is what showing on config.log:

configure:15983: result: immediate
configure:16099: g++ -o conftest conftest.cpp -lxvidcore >&5
conftest.cpp:22:10: fatal error: 'xvid.h' file not found
#include <xvid.h>
^
1 error generated.

Please help me....


Actual run:
------------

My Script:

import vapoursynth as vs
import havsfunc as haf

core = vs.get_core()
core.std.LoadPlugin(path='/usr/local/lib/libffms2.dylib')
core.std.LoadPlugin(path='/usr/local/lib/libfmtconv.dylib')
core.std.LoadPlugin(path='/usr/local/lib/libmvtools.dylib')

clip = core.ffms2.Source(source='Opening.mkv')
clip = haf.QTGMC(clip, Preset='Very Slow', SourceMatch=3, TR2=1, Lossless=2, TFF=True)
clip.set_output()

I have had similar struggles... and I don't remember how I finally got it to work.

But vapoursynth-scxvid is not the one you want anyway.

Attached is my successfully compiled dylib which hopefully will work for you (just copy it to either /usr/local/lib/ or /usr/local/lib/vapoursynth)

[KingLir]

Many thanks but the forum says "Attachments Pending Approval" and I can't download. Can you give me a download link ?

[groucho86]

Mediafire link. (http://www.mediafire.com/file/awtfq0ftf1i6foa/libscenechange.dylib.zip)

Thanks!
Copying it to /usr/local/lib/vapoursynth worked ( but didn't work when I copied it to /usr/local/lib/ ).

Now I am getting the following:

[groucho86]

That's from temporalsoften. I have two (http://www.mediafire.com/file/651z1889xfdqdm5/libtemporalsoften.zip), not sure which one's needed.

Thanks! Now getting:

It seem that I am missing MVTools. When trying to build it from GitHub:

configure: error: Package requirements (vapoursynth) were not met:

No package 'vapoursynth' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables VapourSynth_CFLAGS
and VapourSynth_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I am guessing it's because I installed vapoursynth using brew. How can I do what it asks ?

[groucho86]

Huh, that's a tough one, I've never had that issue before.

Did you first
./autogen.sh
then
./configure
then
make?

Yes. Exactly that. I am getting this error on ./configure
Maybe you can just share with me your MVTools lib/s ? As you did with the previous ones....

[groucho86]

Here ya go. (http://www.mediafire.com/file/rfxgupx2esr4p5i/libmvtools.zip) Both the "regular" version and feisty2's.

[KingLir]

Thanks! I copied both files to both /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/vapoursynth.

I am getting exactly the same error message (last I posted above) !
WOW !! Any idea ?

Maybe you can share your "entire" macOS setup. Did you installed vapoursynth using brew ? Running on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) ?

[groucho86]

I'm on El Capitan 10.11.6.

Yeah the brew install was *very* semi-successful.

I recommend you installing vapoursynth from scratch. If I remember correctly, I first installed R30, then installed the latest version.

Give it a shot, shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Make sure after you do make that you then do make install.

(l33tmeatwad's guide is the clearest: link (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=125039#p1546404).)

[KingLir]

Wait. I think I made progress. Here is what I getting now with my updated script (updated my original post above):

vapoursynth.Error: Failed to load /usr/local/lib/libmvtools.dylib. Error given: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/libmvtools.dylib, 1): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/fftw/lib/libfftw3f.3.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libmvtools.dylib
Reason: image not found

Can you send me libfftw3f.3.dylib and any other relevant dylibs ?

[groucho86]

Grabbed as many as I could... Here's hoping (http://www.mediafire.com/file/7ayoea5sd5qc5bz/vs_dylib_misc.zip).

[KingLir]

Thanks but what should I do with libfftw3f.3.dylib that is been asked by the Script evaluation?

[groucho86]

Arg, that's because I (probably) installed fftw via homebrew. I'm uploading it here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/2yabfwes1nqcgd2/fftw.zip), but there's a high chance it won't work. Just too many dependancies - if it fails you really need to install it all properly.

[KingLir]

Never mind. I just managed to install fftw with brew and fix the remaining issues!

Many Thanks! I will check the tool now and if I encounter other issues will probably open a new thread :)

Again, thank you for all the help.
