Feature request-Automatic disabling of post-processing

[gldblade]

This is an idea from milan's DSF available here: http://www.xvid.org/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=395&forum=4&7

Basically, in the DSF you set the maximum amount of post-processing you want. Then whenever playback becomes too CPU-intensive, temporarily disable some of the post-processing. When CPU-usage decreases, reenable them. That way, playback will remain smooth even if CPU-usage spikes.

This would be great for people with not-so-great CPUs. In Nic's DSF, I can enable all six post-processing levels. However, there are just a few scenes where all six levels will cause playback to be jerky.

Although a good idea in spirit im not sure quite how effective it would be....Ill look into it though. :)

it's a good idea, and implementable. should be fun :)

An interesting idea indeed, but I wonder how effective it would be because the most blocks ocur in high motion scenes, that are cpu-intensive, and if you disable post-processing in these scenes you may just as well dissable it for good. But maybe for deringing it would work.

deblocking is much cheeper (in cpu terms) than deringing.

therefore, disabeling deringing while in high cpu load (a lot of action) would not harm quality too much, and will definately decrease the cpu load towards a playable level.

Would ringing be very noticeable in high motion scenes anyway? I would think not...

We could also vary the x and y thresholds, but I think that would be less effective.
