The method could be extracted into a stand-alone, that's perfectly possible. But it wouldn't make too much sense to use it in conjunction with another (fast) deinterlacer. For the given sharpening method, one full circle of motion-search and motion-compensation must be done via MVTools, plus the temporal limiting in itself.

Read: if you would have it as a stand-alone, then it would be rather slow. You would loose most of the "speed benefit" of PureVideo, the result would be similarly-slow as QTGMC is anyway.

On top of that, if you sharpen the PureVideo Deinterlacer in the same way as QTGMC does, then the ("per-pixel") deficits of PureVideo would become more pronounced.
Thanks for the answer friend.
