I have yet to see a deinterlacer that tops QTGMC. I tried Dione on several videos and had poor results. I don’t know why the VEAI devs thought a motion compensating deinterlacer could be created with machine learning.
Note with QTGMC if you are planning on feeding it to VEAI (this is mega important), you need QTGMC to do a sloppy deinterlace, leaving noise and detail alone. The reason is because VEAI removes the noise and needs maximum detail to work.
This is from my Lucky Girl upscale post:
QTGMC( Preset=“Slower”, EZKeepGrain=0.01, SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2, Sharpness=1.0, Sbb=0 )
SelectEven()
This is a variation of QTGMC creator -Vit-'s most accurate settings, QTGMC( Preset=“Very Slow”, EZKeepGrain=0.5, SourceMatch=2, Lossless=2, Sharpness=0.1, Sbb=0 ), which does no denoising, only deinterlaces.
I purposely ignored the warning about high sharpness settings in lossless mode, and it worked fine. Why it worked, I don’t know; this was after a month of working on this video, so rules got tossed in favor of crazy experimentation.
