Avisynth Script for doubling video frame rates - Page 4

I finally have a Core i7 @ 3,8 GHz now and want to use frame rate doubling. What script/settings would you recommend for normal DVDs?

@all Core i7 users: What settings do you use and what work for you with HypterThreading (HT) enabled?

I already tried various scripts, but most of them crash when I have all 4 cores and HT enabled. I observed the following: With one script (one of 8:13 using mvtools2), I played arround with my i7 and noticed the following: If I disable Hyper Threading and disable 2 cores (so I have two cores in my Task Manager) it works quite well (even skipping works most of the times and DVD Menus also works "a bit". Things get worse if I enable all 4 cores but still work except that skipping is working less often and DVD menus do not work. As soon as I enable Hyper Threading too (giving my 8 cores in Task Manager) the script was only working about once out of 4 times or so and skipping did always crash the player.

@Delerue, What settings did you use on the AviSynth tab in ffdshow?

ok im a total newbi to this can anyone give me a set by step instructions on how to install all this!! i keep getting script error!

works great, thanks!

This even works on my overclocked e8400 duo. Thanks!

Actually I tried some 1080p mkv's and it starts losing frames but 720p is perfect is there a script that will work for 1080p files?

Yeah!! me too

E8400 no oc

I tried the latest frame doubler on my own computer whit a Phenom X4 9750 2.4Ghz, it manages to go somewhat ok on non hd content. whit 720p the cpu gets 100% and it's unwatchable.

There is a problem whit frames being dropped constantly though and sometimes more than a few are dropped and you notice it in the video that jumps. This even when cpu usage on each core stays below 30% spread about all 4 cores.
Though when I watch the video in windowed mode it doesn't drop frames, only in fullscreen mode for some reason, it's weird.

well 23.976 looks loads better whit the framedoubler than the 3:2 pulldown, it's loads smoother on my 60Hz monitor. Would be nice to utilize this on non-hd content but the frame dropping isn't nice when in fullscreen though.

1024x576 uses 50% cpu and if one core reaches 70% or such it seems to drop a frame even in windowed mode... though the more normal dvd sizes that has overall 30% usage should not drop any but they do sa mentioned in fullscreen. ;_;
I tried 4 threads and 8 threads same results but 4 was more smooth and less drops though.

Any suggestion for me?

If someone could make use of the huge processing power of GPUs the this thing could really fly! Meanwhile I found a reason to get an I Core 7 and overclock it.

I plan on using this on a front projector (Infocus IN83) so will let you know.

You can but not on the fly, to do so you need to encode your source like a movie for example to 60fps first;

Hi All,

I tried to set up with 60fps, but I found the picture is much better with 48. I don't know why. Do you have any idea?

I found the reason. On 1920x1080 my 4x3GHZ + 9600GT with CUDA is not enough for 60fps, only for 48. On 1920x800 it is fine and either for 720p. To tell th truth I can't see the difference between the 48 and 60 fps, so I stay at 48 fps.

hey guys i was wondering if i could get an opinion. i really dont know too much about pcs, but this is what im currently using:


amd 3500+
1gb ram
x800xt



this is what i configured on the dell site. can anyone please tell me if this is a good deal?

i just want to know if it will be able to play mkv files and run these scripts posted here. maybe a little bit of gaming also. (cod, crysis)

It probably depends what you like your movies to look like.

Most of us, particularly in Europe, don't like 3:2 pull-down for 24p displayed at 60Hz, as we've grown up with 2:2 pulldown with speed-up to convert 24Hz content to 50Hz. We therefore have a number of options :

1. 24p replay at normal speed with the display refreshing at a multiple of 24Hz - giving 2:2 at 48Hz, 3:3 at 72Hz, 5:5 at 120Hz etc. This works if your projector is 24Hz friendly and your PC can output at 24Hz. It doesn't interpolate any new frames - you see the original film capture with the 24Hz temporal capture untouched.

2. 24p replay sped up with 25Hz and output at 50Hz with 2:2 - but with sped up action and sound (possibly not pitch-corrected) This is good if your display isn't 24Hz friendly, and also doesn't interpolate new frames - so you see similar to the above.

3. 24p interpolated to a higher frame rate, such as 50 or 60Hz. This analyses the 24Hz sequence and tries to synthesise new frames, and if you chose a higher frame rate it will often "smooth" out the 24Hz native motion, tracking objects and guesstimating where they will be between frames. It can appeal to some people as it reduces the inherent low-frame rate judder caused by 24Hz (or 25Hz) capture. (This isn't the same as the asymmetric judder caused by 3:2 pulldown of 24p content displayed at 60Hz) It takes a LOT of processing power - and is still guesstimation. It can make film look like "soap" and isn't always a good technique to use on action sequences, where the motion tracking is defeated by very fast moving objects, or random motion etc.

Personally I prefer option 1 as a first choice, and option 2 as a second if your display isn't 24Hz friendly.


(* for 24Hz read 23.976Hz which is often called 23Hz in some drivers, and for 60Hz read 59.94Hz which is often called 59Hz in some drivers)

8:13 i followed the instructions but i get this error when i play files.


Script error: there is no function 'Msuper' (ffdshow filter_avisynth_script, line 3)

what does this mean?

i tried 8:13 settings and it looked awesome, but mpc kept crashing. i tried Bahns script and it looks just as good, but no more crashing.

are the plugins listed in this thread the only plugins needed? or should i be getting more plugins for avisynth?

damn this looks pretty amazing.

Hi all,

I tried somehow to remove artifacts what mflowfps generates at fast motions at the edges. I found a very good way to reduce artifacts with blurring.

Here is my script:

SetMtmode(2,4)
last=ffdshow_source()
super = MSuper(pel=1,hpad=16,vpad=16)
backward_vec = MAnalyse(super, blksize=16, isb = true, chroma=false, searchparam=1)
forward_vec = MAnalyse(super, blksize=16, isb = false, chroma=false, searchparam=1)
MFlowFps(super, backward_vec, forward_vec, num=2*FramerateNumerator(last), \\
den=FramerateDenominator(last), mask=0)
MFlowBlur(super, backward_vec, forward_vec, blur=15)
distributor()

I have only one problem. With this MFlowFps + MFlowBlur I have a very good quality at frame dubling but I have problems with snitts (when camera changes).

I try to tell you what is my problem, here is how my video looks like:

"snitt1", frame1, frame2, frame3, ..., frame99, "snitt2", frame100, frame101, ...

With this script after snitt2 frame 100 = frame 1, but frame 101 is OK again. Why this script repeats old frames after snitts?

Please help me if you have any idea! It would be great if we could increase quality of frame doubling. Artifacts in quick moving movies are very disturbing me.

Thanks!

I got in contact with Alexander who writes MVTOOLS. /Thanks Alexander, it is really a great tool!!!/ He told me this script can't work in this way, because I should recalculate again super for blurring. Unfortunately if I recalculate super, artifacts don't disappear. So I don't know how to go ahead in this line.

Has anybody else any other idea how to solve for this atrifacts problem?

Hi, I'm new here and new to playing around in depth with video settings and the like. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if my comp was able to handle what you guys are doing.

I have
# GIGABYTE Motherboard, GA-EP43-DS3L, LGA775, Intel® P43, 1600MHz (O.C.) FSB, DDR2-1200 (O.C.) 16GB /4, PCIe x16, SATA 3 Gb/s /6, HDA, GbLAN

3.25 gig ram

EVGA GEFORCE 9500GT

XP 32bit

I've yet to make frame doubling work for me, but i'm still trying, following the examples in this thread.

BTW, is it ok if I currently have CCCP installed on my system? Or should I not be using it?

Can you make a script for Avisynth to emulate Sony's DFI ( Dark Frame Insertion ) ? 48p, 1 black frame between 2 original frames.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for post 87.



Works great for xvid samples that i have used, unfortunately it drops massive frames for 720p on a T7400(2.16ghz) core2 laptop. Odd that it drops frames though, and still only uses about 50% of both cores. I'll try it at home where i have beefier processor and an actual videocard.

Is there any way to make this work when streamed over to PS3? I tried WMP11 which works on my PC, but once I stream it to the PS3 the frame interpolation no longer works. PS3 media server has an AviSynth setting with a box for the script, but when I put the same scripts in it, it doesn't work. Any ideas?

sorry to bring up an old thread, but will these scripts also work with windows7?

yes it'll work in Windows 7

Now with that aside I'm having problems with it.

I've played with most of the scripts but my issue is always the same so here we go. Figure out my problem please!

- SD content = 100% fine
- HD content = 100% fine (720 & 1080) EXCEPT...

1.) If I go to full screen (or maximize window) the video will all of a sudden get jerky "like" it's playing 15fps even though the video renderer is happily reading 47.8-48.0fps. CPU usage is under 50%.

2.) If I take it out of full screen or maximize it's all fine again and running super smooth like it should (all content including 1080)

3.) This is all through Media Player Classic. BS.Player Pro refuses to run properly on this machine build but I really could care less.

4.) THE BIGGEST ISSUE!. I don't understand this one. After running the 48fps thing for more than a few minutes the machine hard locks and gives me a blue screen of death saying "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and there goes everything. Before ya mention it the CPU runs COLD so it's not overheating.

Thoughts?

Windows 7 64bit RTM
Intel Core i5 (OC'ed to 3.4Ghz although I've tried it even at stock speed).
G.SKILL Trident 4GB DDR3 2000 (I've even slowed it down to 1600 the RAM is meant to be OC'ed). Is there something wrong with my RAM? I'm outside the return range to RMA it...

Hello everyone,

I am a newcomer here and I am not an expert on things being discussed here ( and sorry for my bad English too). But I have managed to get 120 FPS (constant) using one of 8:13’s scripts and MTmotion.dll (slightly modifying it) with my 720p videos. Previously I was using one of Bahn Yuki’s scripts that gave me a frame rate of 48 FPS (constant) with the 720p videos.

My system specs are: C2D E8400 @ 3 Ghz, 2 GB 800 Mhz RAM, radeon HD4850. OS : Windows XP, softwares and plugins used: Media Player Classic (Home Cinema Edition),
Ffdshow, Avisynth, MTmotion etc. (And Fraps to measure FPS). The MPC-HC is a must.

I followed the instructions given in the post no. 87 by 8:13 (Although I didn’t follow everything written there like I didn’t use reclock).

In the avisynth box I checked “avisynth” and “add ffdshow video source”; unchecked everything except “YV12” under “input colorspaces”; selected “smooth timestamps” under 3:2 pulldown. “buffer Back/Ahead” used 1 and 1. And used the following script:

LoadPlugin("C:\\Program Files\\AviSynth 2.5\\plugins\\Motion_12Dec05.dll")
ffdshow_source()
fps=60 #last.framerate()*4
last.CombineFPS(fps, last. MotionFPS(fps, warpfast, move), last.MotionFPS(fps, source = next, warpfast, move))

or an alternative to this script:

fps = 60
CombineFPS(fps, MotionFPS(fps, warpfast, move), MotionFPS(fps, source=next, warpfast, move))

MPC-HC settings: View > option > output and selected “EVR” to see the frame rate with Fraps.

Under option > internal filters I checked everything except DTS/AC3 and AAC,DTS,AC3 (specially matroska). Probably u will need a radeon 3xxx or higher geforce 8xxx or higher to properly use this option. I got this idea from guru3d.com from the article “accelerating 1080p videos using GPUs”

With this script every scene with slow moving objects in 720p videos look fantastic like it is being played on a 120Hz TV. If u set the fps= 75 or 85, it will give u FPS of 135 and 145 respectively (But 120 FPS seems better to me as I am using a 60Hz monitor – Asus VW246H).

But the problem is I am getting too much artifacts (or picture distortion??) in scenes with fast moving objects (like in the ending fights in Transformers 2007).; Bahn’s script was better in showing much less artifacts but it only gave me 48 FPS and less smooth videos. Anyone have any idea how I can get rid of these artifacts?

Thanks for reading through this and special thanks to 8:13 and Bahn Yuki for their scripts.
And any help from u guys will be appreciated for my problem.

Well the distortion is coming from frame interpolation. The thing is, with 120fps you don't need frame interpolation. 5x24=120, show each frame 5 times and you won't get any interpolation errors. It won't look like a soap opera but you will have 0 24FPS jitter on a 60Hz display! If you can make a script that does that for me then you rock.

I am having no end of jitter issues on 24pHD material. 24pDVD looks fine.

Someone had the same question earlier without reply - is it possible with that interpolation script to make a lets say 36fps (1.5*24fps) not 48? 48 is to much for my taste.

Hi all! Test this (almost!!) artefacts-free script:
I borrowed and modded it from svp (smooth video pack) script, tested on my 48Hz projector and Q6600 at 3.4GHz), the results are awesome.

In The Day After Tomorrow, The Dark Knight, and critical scenes from other movies , generally speaking artefacts are 80 to 90% lower than the other script I saw here before!!!!
