What software for PC to make best job of deinterlacing

Hi,

What can I install on my win7 64bit PC with 32Gb ddr ram and a GTX970 4Gb ram i7 CPU . enough to do video etc..built for such... to make a good job of de-interlacing without spending much dosh as I may not need it after returning to the shop for test 2. here is the story.

I am interested in buying a flat screen LCD (or do I mean LED ?) TV, (its a current flattie by Panasonic) played it my test footage on dvd of 16:9 and also 4:3 SD footage, it actually performed as well as my Sony Wega KD 32DX51U which shows DETAIL in SD, up till now no flat screen LED plasma whatever has managed to match it, but now I am looking at a Panny that does. However all my footage had a haircombe effect down edges of moving objects, on the CRT WEGA this is simply not there, Its interlaced of course !
So to view all my SD footage and not have this mess then I need to do a test.
Create the dvd but feed the authoring prog the same clips but deinterlaced using the best method for doing so.
I will also do a test turning on the interlaced setting on the shops dvd player, and feeding it the original progressive disc but which was made with the interlaced footage.
If that works it saves me a lot of deinterlacing after having bought the TV.

The dvd player used in the shop was set to progressive as the TV was progressive HD.

I saw that Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate (free) had a deinterlace ability, yet installed it and it simply isnt there, no edit button on the clip, and no means of asking them as support needs a purchase number !

What can I install on my win7 64bit PC with 32Gb ddr ram and a GTX970 4Gb ram i7 CPU . enough to do video etc..built for such... to make a good job of de-interlacing without spending much dosh as I may not need it after returning to the shop for test 2.

Can a modern flattie have a setting to turn on to view interlaced, that would solve all interlacing issues, I thought they were 'dyed in the wool' progressive ! I ask that as one poster elsewhere said dont interlace unless really need to as makes video worse, turn on interlacing on the tv instead.

Sony DSR-20P not recognized by Adobe/BM Media Express when using SDI cable

August 11, 2019, 3:04 am

I am not a professional, but I need to transfer a series of DigiBeta tapes. I’ll use a Sony J30/SDI to do it. My PC (Intel core i7, graphics card Gigabyte Z390UD, 16 GB RAM) is equipped with the Blackmagic Decklink SDI 4K. The card is installed correctly (cf. device manager) with the latest drivers, and is recognized by Blackmagic Media Express and by Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

To test the combination before hiring the Sony J30/SDI, I connected my Sony DSR-20P using a SDI cable. Yet, I cannot capture: Blackmagic Media Express and Adobe Premiere do not find the Sony DSR-20P device. However, when I connect the Sony DSR-20P to my PC using a firewire cable, Adobe Premiere manages to capture without any problem (not Blackmagic Media Express because it needs the Blackmagic Decklink SDI connection).

Why do the programs not recognize the Sony DSR-20P when I use a SDI cable? Can it be that something is wrong with my SDI cable or with the SDI output of the Sony DSR-20P? Or is there any feature I omitted?

Thank you very much for your help.

Synchronised video playback

Hi there, I'm planning a screening of the 1927 Abel Gance film, Napoleon. For those unfamilier with this silent epic, the final section of 20 minutes is a triptych of 3 4:3 screens. To achieve the full effect of this, I'm planning to have 3 projectors, each showing 1 of the panels, as intended when the film was made. Those nice folks at the BFI have made all of the individual video parts available to achieve this. Although a 4:1 widescreen version is supplied it's not practical to show this without hiring in a much bigger projector, and suffering a significant drop off in quality.

So what I have is 3 1080p 4:3 videos which I need to show using 3 projectors, in sync. My initial thoughts were to have 3 bluray players, somehow manually synced, but this obviously has some risks, especially live with a paying audience. So I'm keen to hear from anyone who has achieved anything similar.

Oh, and the other complication is that I don't have much budget to buy new kit.....

AmaRecTV and field order

I'm capturing from VHS using a Hauppauge USB-Live 2 in AmaRecTV. Once done, I open the raw .avi file in VLC, hit the 'de-interlace' key, and the fields play back in the wrong order. This also happens in Media Player Classic and Kodi, and I've tried both Lagarith and Ut codecs.

Has anyone else come across this issue? It's not a major problem in the grand scheme of things, but it's a pretty large inconvenience when just wanting to give something a quick check. What can I do to produce captures that play back with the correct field order?

Freemake Video Converter Dual Soundtrack?

Freemake Video Converter will allow you to copy a DVD and convert it to mp4. My question is; if the sound track also has a 'Director's Commentary', will that separate track also be recorded? I cannot imagine how you could play the different mp4 tracks back on a media player, but I am wondering; if the mp4 is then burned to a dvd, would both tracks be switchable when played back on a stand alone DVD Player, just like they are on a store bought DVD?
Hoping someone can help, especially someone with first hand experience of this software. Thank you.

From:
https://www.videohelp.com/software/FLAC-Encoder/reviews

Which compiler did you used?

Is pretty odd to be almost 1MB on size (32-bit version).

I compiled myself with VS2019 and got it just under 560KB:
572,416 flac.exe (559KB) and YES it does include OGG.

Gradius

PS: as for 64-bit should be under 1MB too.

Hello,
I have video and audio files of a movie.
the audio file is 10 seconds longer than the video file. When I merge files with "megui muxer", synchronization does not hold. I think I have to cut 10 seconds from the end of the audio file. How do i do that?

Just downloaded VirtualDub2 onto my new laptop. Now would like to find a zip file, if there's one out there, containing all the latest external encoders that can be used with it. I'd rather just download a package if I can that contains them all, because I'm fed up Googling each one individually and not being able to find them all together on the one site.

BANG BANG BANG make stills as fast as that from video

Hi,
I dont want to have to keep hopping between video players who can make stills seconds apart with the hit of a key (Jaksta) and video editors who cannot.
I need to be working with videos and ONE prog.
If video players can do it so can editors, editors can supposedly go frame by frame backwards, I need that ability to make stills, players such as Jaksta cant do that, there is no frame by frame, MPC_HD has Frame by Frame but every still generated sees it throw up a window asking for a name and location, nightmare. , I also must have the still the same quality and shape as the video when the still is opened into photoshop or as I intend also, my photogrammetry prog, one player I have used makes circles into elipses, all proportion is lost, kills use in photogrammetry or anything, so what editor can make stills as I BANG BANG BANG on a hotkey ?

I need an editor that can see me hit a hotkey, captures a still to a location set up in prefs, with no interface appearing asking for a name etc as my video is running so thats going to stop my viewing, and doesnt expect me to hit a save button and name it each time, as I have 100's and 100's to make from a clip.

DaVinciResolve it is said is BAD at stills expecting you to slice up into a frame the video then export that as a still, ye gods !! or right click and export and choose destination and name it, strewth ! Its been thought of as a need to make 1 still not many.

Vegas again mouse click an icon to take still then click save icon and choose location and name it. again hopeless.

I need to be able to pause video, go back a frame or so, an ability to jump fwd or backward to a 'key frame' where often the best stills are to be found, would be most welcome.

So which 'one off purchase' prog should I install. (premiere CC and subs is out of the question)

How to set rtmpdump's objectEncoding?(AMF0 or AMF3)

August 11, 2019, 8:21 pm

I am tring to download a rtmp stream using rtmpdump.
In theory, if rtmpdump packet is identical to the original packet, stream will be captured successfully.

But original packet's objectEncoding is AMF0, rtmpdump always sending AMF3 objectEncoding packet.
This will lead to server make diffrent response after rtmp connect.
If server receive AMF0 packet, server response with AMF0 packet.
If server receive AMF3 packet, server response with AMF3 packet, but the AMF3 object is broken, maybe this is a bug on their server, maybe server doesn't support AMF3 at all.

Anyway, this will cause rtmpdump error.

AMF3 object flag is 0x11
As you can see, there is no 0x11 in original packet, so no AMF3 object in original packet.
There is 0x11 in rtmpdump packet, but it's broken, rtmpdump can't parse it, so then error.

Original connect packet：
Image
[Attachment 49781 - Click to enlarge]
rtmpdump connect packet：
Image
[Attachment 49782 - Click to enlarge]
I compare original connect packet to rtmpdump connect packet.
I think this is the problem, 2 bytes after objectEncoding.
rtmpdump sends 0x40 0x08
original sends 0x00 0x00
rtmpdump sends AMF3 objectEncoding, orignal sends AMF0 objectEncoding.

So my best try is to make rtmpdump send AMF0 packet, and then server should response with correct AMF0 packet, just like original packet.
I have already googleing a lot, but still have no idea how to set rtmpdump's objectEncoding?
Anyone help?

Question on HDMI to RCA converters; do they work?

eBay and Amazon offer 'converters' that ostensibly accept 1080p/i video in and output NTSC or PAL video. I'm not referring to the simple cable breakouts with the appropriate connectors, these 'converters' require power and evidently have smarts inside. These sell in the $10/$30 range.

My question is, can I connect the HDTV HDMI output of whatever I'm watching on TV (satellite, Roku, Blu-Ray, off-air) and run it through this contraption into my standalone DVD recorder? I'm wondering how the program aspect ratio is handled; that is, would the DVD play at 480i on any player, and would the picture be watchable, squashed, or what?

Thanks!

Hi. I'm editing a TV show which is in mkv format. These two commands work OK individually:

trim(57054,57423).fadeout0(35).SmoothFPS2(int(framerate*2), 1).AssumeFPS(framerate).Amplify(0)
but, put together as:
Code:
loop(80,57054,57054).trim(57054,57054+79).amplify(0).fadein0(79)++trim(57054,57423).fadeout0(35).SmoothFPS2(int(framerate*2), 1).AssumeFPS(framerate).Amplify(0)
I get an error: 'The video stream cannot be opened.' Can anyone suggest what the issue is? Thank you.

Trying to download a stream from a mpd file.
I'm using VLC, which is working for m3u8 streams from the same website.

But I'm having no luck with mpd streams.

One thing of note when I look at the file:
Quote:
<!-- Widevine -->
<ContentProtection>
(snip, just in case there's any personally identifiable information in here)
</ContentProtection>
So it looks like this is protected with widevine DRM.

Is there any way around this?

I'm working on a project in Sony Vegas and have rendered my files in MXF format (1 video stream MPEG 35.0 Mb/s, 2 audio streams 48.0kHz, 24 bits, PCM/PCM, according to MediaInfo).
The rendered files look and sound great in VLC.

When these files are added to a DVDStyler project, that section has no sound.
I added an mp3 to the menu screen as a background track and that sounds just fine.
That loops and works great.

It's only the mxf files that have no audio.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
