How to load filters in V-Dub?

[io234]

Is there a way to tell GordianKnot to load the VirtualDub DeInterlace-Filter of my choice when encoding?
Tried to open a Virtual-Dub Window and load the filter prior to start the GKnot Encoding - but GKnot simply opens a new VDub-Window...

Does that mean that there is no way to autoload filters?
Or simply no "expert" online...?

Hi and welcome to the forum-

No, you can't use the VDub Filters in GKnot. GKnot encodes using Fast Recompress in VDubMod and there's no way to change it (nor would you want to). And to use the VDub filters, you have to encode in Full Processing. That is, if you want to use them, you'll have to encode directly in VDubMod yourself, and not use GKnot as a front end.

There is a way to import the VDub filters into your avs, but it may be beyond your ability at this point (no offense intended). For more information, check Section 4 of the AviSynth FAQ (http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=AviSynthFAQ).

In almost all cases, though, the corresponding AviSynth filters are as good as or better than the VDub ones. Which one were you interested in?

Or simply no "expert" online...?

No, it means that with a little looking around, you could have turned up the answer yourself.

Hi Manono,
thank you for your reply.

You're right: If it's not easy to use, I can't use it...

The Filter I'd like to use is this one:

Hi-

First, are you really sure that it's a pure interlaced source? Most PAL movies aren't truly interlaced. Often the DVDs from TV shows are interlaced, and captures, but it's a rare DVD from a movie that's interlaced. If you're not positive, then set Telecide in the .avs, Save it, and then open it in VDubMod and scroll to where there's some movement, and advance one frame at a time to be sure.

To do that, hit the "Edit" button, Load the Decomb plugin, and add the Telecide filter:

LoadPlugin("F:\DIVXST~1\GKnot\decomb.dll")
.
.
.
Telecide(order=1,guide=2)#.Decimate()

Check it out in VDubMod after doing that. If it is interlaced, and you want an interpolating filter, then in the Deinterlacer section of the GKnot .avs is FieldDeinterlace:

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)

In the Save .avs box, it'll say FieldDeinterlace(no blend).

But if you already tried that, and didn't like the results, then have you tried KernelDeInt? To set it up, Edit the .avs, and do this:

LoadPlugin("F:\DIVXST~1\GKnot\KernelDeInt.dll")
.
.
.
# DEINTERLACING (2)
KernelDeInt(order=1,sharp=true)

I think it's about the best deinterlacer we have right now. But you really should be encoding in Fast Recompress, which doesn't allow the use of the VDub filters. The encoding is much faster that way, and the quality is slightly better.
