    No, you save the script I put in the earlier post as "InterpolateFPSx2.avsi" (actually you can call it anything as long as it ends in ".avsi"). Then put that file in the plugins folder. It uses the same plugins as QTGMC so you won't need anything else.

    I meant remove QTGMC and SelectEven only. Leave everything else in the script. Have you put the InterpolateFPSx2 plugin in the proper folder? It goes in: Sandbox\meguIV\1.0.1.1\Virtual\MODIFIED\@SYSDRIVE@\meguIV\Avisynth 2.5\plugins

    That script isn't sensible. QTGMC is a deinterlacer. You don't usually use it on progressive material*. If you try to deinterlace progressive material you just get duplicate frames. You don't need SelectEven() if you're not using QTGMC. Just the InterpolateFPSx2 line will do it. Put a...

    Not usually worth changing priority. If you leave your comp alone whilst processing then it will go at pretty much the same speed regardless of priority (unless you have some intrusive background process running). And if you do want to use you machine at the same time then it's better left at...

    I don't use One-click or the MeguIVit presets, I do the process manually. The "Tools" menu contains each of the individual steps. File Indexer is where I start, and that tool can take m2ts files. It gives you a .dga file that can be loaded with AVCSource or equivalent. Rest of the AVS script is...

    May not be to do with quality - this is probably the "Maximum GOP Size". Again go to the x264 settings, make sure "Advanced Settings" is checked. Then go the "Frame-Type" tab. Maximum GOP Size is probably 250 or something. Reduce this value, maybe to 100, maybe less (I'm not really sure for...

    Yup, select a 60fps profile for 50fps output and a 30fps profile for 25fps output. Knock the CRF down by about 0.3 or 0.4 for an equivalent quality. The slider is a kinda measure of "quality" or rather how accurately the input is encoded. It is related to bitrate, but not in such a direct way...

    I've updated QuickTGMC to v3.11. It improves memory efficiency, fixes some bugs from 3.0 and adds motion blur. Changelog: # v3.11: Exposed ThSAD1, ThSAD2, ThSCD1 and ThSCD2 to allow tweaks to temporal smoothing and scene change detection # Fixed bug introduced in v3.05, which skipped...

    Here's the script I use to do that. Easy to use, just put InterpolateFPSx2() in your script. It will create odd effects on fast or complex motion where the motion analysis fails. But it can be OK, especially on slow moving idol vids. I've used it in a few rips. Edit: Save this text as...

    Sorry, the comment wasn't directed at you IceManZ. Placebo settings are most certainly the best, but the differences from the "Very Slow" settings are very, very minor. The placebo settings are really there to test everything at the maximum. And for perfectionists. ;)

    Increasing the bitrate doesn't make things sharper. The bitrate is used to make an accurate capture of your input - at whatever sharpness your input originally is. If your input isn't sharp enough... well, you have to sharpen it...! You can configure the avisynth profile in the one-click...

    What are you are trying to open the m2ts file with? MeguIV(it) is set up for "One-Click" usage and One-Click doesn't support m2ts files. So I guess you are using the QuickTGMC script manually or something? Anyway, QuickTGMC only supports YV12 at the moment. There will be a revision to...

    They are both high quality settings, they will work in the majority of cases. However, A might be rather sharp and B could be affected by noisy sources. That example B is taken from the script comments - it's only an example - it's not supposed to be the best way. Better to start with this...

    This exact question (with the same versions of MT avisynth) has been asked over at d9. No-one knows. Like so many open-source projects, avisynth has become a jumbled mass of different people's contributions, hacks and fixes - I'm not sure any one person knows how it all works any more. And bear...

    Thanks for the detailed information. Given your results, I'm afraid your problem is likely due to bugs in AviSynth. I have been looking much more closely at the avisynth source code and it really is a tangled mess when it comes to the multi-threading and caching. As scripts become more complex...

    I don't see any errors. Looking again, that bit you've highlighted is odd: it seems to be trying to rip the video before it has indexed the VOBs - that's gonna cause an error - indexing should be first. Are you running multiple Meguis or experimenting with workers or something similar?

    That maximum denoise + maximum detail was an impossible request. And the result completely subjective in any case (one man's detail is another's noise). But to answer the question: source-match occurs entirely within the bypass, so is not directly affected by noise bypass. The full details of...

    With SourceMatch=3 you may need a SetMemoryMax, set MT threads or EdiThreads lower, or even do a pre-rendering step. There will be 3 NNEDI3 calls per frame. That needs memory. Can make faster and use less memory with minimal loss by: QTGMC( Preset=XXX, SourceMatch=3, MatchEdi2="Bob" ) That...

    The latest QuickTGMC V3.0 is finished. This version focuses on quality improvements, not speed, but don't worry, the standard settings are largely unchanged in performance. Haven't got time to update the QuickTGMC page here with the latest details, I've just added the download. There are...

    That's the key. A quick Google shows a couple of results with other programs that I suspect are packaged the same way as MeguIV. The issue in those cases was a very recent Avast update.

    QTGMC is a deinterlacer. I will only add processes that are needed for that job. Sharpness is available as a setting because this deinterlacing algorithm requires a blur/resharpen anyway. There are denoising settings in there because deinterlacing is sensitive to noise. Brightness and contrast...

    So to clarify, you were still running MeguIVit and its sandbox, and you fixed the problem by adding a SetMemoryMax? ____ If you tweak the number of threads with SetMTMode, you may also want to tweak the number of threads that NNEDI3 uses, like so: SetMTMode(5,10) # 5 is safer, especially for...

    FFTW3 is already in the Sandbox "System" folder. Maybe just putting another copy in a SysWow64 folder would do the trick. I'll give it a go in the next release.

    What you saw was exactly what the source was like. That's the point I've been making about accuracy vs quality. The Yuri vid is a clean, sharp fairly recent vid. The Sayaka vid is from 2004 and looks almost analog, much smoother and with more noise / less detail. In Yuri's vid, the new mode...

    The new ripping approach is not actually a separate process. It's a set of additional processing tasks inserted into the algorithm that adjust and refine the default output. That means the original processing approach is still available by just disengaging the new parts. I will initially add new...

    The new modes work in one pass now, but the extra precision still takes time: two NNEDI3 passes per frame rather than one, plus some other extra processing. The new modes really do extract more detail and give an almost exact progressive reproduction of the source. But we're talking about...

    Disabling pre-rendering on Placebo settings runs the risk of out-of-memory issues and crashes.

    It is possible to create a 30fps mkv from a 60fps mkv. But it isn't just a simple muxing thing, a reencode would be needed, which will lose quality.
