just a Side note, Topaz doesn’t actually do any de-interlace, it just calls ffmpeg command to do the deinterlacing for it using ffmpeg Bwdif. after ffmpeg completed the deinterlacing, it applies the Dione enhancement. after reading your last response I don’t think deinterlacing externally would change anything. for me it seems it’s the Proteus filter with your upscaling is not so friendly with your scenery.
- If you Dione DV for x2 upscale, does it look good?
- if so, how about you do an x2 upscale using Dione DV, when completed, just Dione DV it again for additional x2 upscale (two stage x4 upscale)? just force FPS back to 50 (not to get 100 FPS).
you can follow this to see how (somewhere in the middle of the post)…
