Hi, just a nice deinterlacing trick I found out a few days ago. It only works, if some criterias concerning the recorded material are met (otherwise it will look very ugly) and has more motion-blurr than a real film-camera, but I like it's appearance and it is very fast to get:
1. set your camcorder to *manual* operation. 2. Choose a shutter-time of 1/50th second (1/60th for NTSC). 3. Just use a simple blend-fields-deinterlacer on this. The important thing is the shutter-time. Usualy using a blend-fields-deinterlacer just looks ugly. This is because of the fact that it can introduce ghosts. But if the shutter is set to the field-rate, it doesn't... it just adds more motion-blurr... cu Stefan PS: how did I find this? I used an mplayer -vf pp=lb session to preview some recordings. Some of them looked amazingly smooth and sharp using this super simple deinterlacer, some looked very ugly (Ghosts and strong alias). I just asked me why there was such a difference and started to experiment a little... All the recordings which looked good were shot with the shutter set to the frame-rate... all ugly ones had shorter shutter-times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
