Hey!

I'm not sure if it has been reported already (i did searched the forums, only in english tho) but the installer keeps freezing and the window becomes unresponsive when you open Show Details while the download process is happening.
It actually have happened to me with the free version too, but you maybe just overlooked this in the full release as well. I also have a customized gui on my win7 sp1 installation, it might have something to do with it, yet this never occured me once before with other installers either - nor any other programs running on my pc.


Not opening the details panel seems to help to complete the installation without glitches.

Alright thanks.

I actually removed that part of my answer because it is a feature TBD, which means you won't get 10bit support with the pro version just yet, and it remains uncertain it will be supported at all. smile

SVP supports only 8-bit processing as of now.

There is a setting panel in ffdshow where you can enable/disable supported outputs/colorspaces.
Reference image showing this panel:

I have no hi10p content here to confirm any of the followings, but it seems that SVP 4 FREE doesn't support 10 bit playback (YV12 is probably the only input that the free edition is consume which requires downsampling to 8bit).

There might also be other issues with subtitles (regarding directvobsub - when it is enabled?) which also doesnt support hi10p so you might end up with downsampled video anyways.

Thank you guys for the answers!

you just took almost all of existing
Great things come out of random experiments here smile

lock frame interpolation
Yes, vfr to cfr is a damn business, it would be rather nice to get a built in solution for this thing!

To reduce artifacts
Managed to fix a couple of artifacts just by tweaking the svp settings. I mosly just reduced the distance and range parameters that removed most of the artifacts.
The example image was a bit misleading since there are no borders around the content.

for what each option means
Thanks for the detailed answer, it is nice!
Yes, my problem is exactly with that! It would be nice to get a more detailed documentation about the settings just like mvtools has!
Btw, to get a better understading the idea behind motion interpolation, do the http://avisynth.org.ru/mvtools/mvtools2.html mvtools1/2 docs can be any good reading here?


SVPFlow x64
The dll's came with SVP 4 free installer seem to me like 32 bit only. No matters, they work very well at low system costs. No crashes either!

Hey!

I recently just purchased SVP 4 in the hope that i can get a full featured plug for my avisynth chain i'm building in order to upsample some 24i ntsc dvd cartoon to a 1080p60 video.
So far the results are nice with the free version, and i already spent some fine hours trying to figure out the sorcery behind this exceptionally great tool you provide.

Do you maybe happen to have any updated/more detailed source of information regarding the plugin usage? https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Plugins:_SVPflow
The link i found on your site doesn't seem to explain the usage nor 100% compatible with the actual dll's i just downloaded.

I'm just wondering if the full featured version might give better interpolation/rendering results than the free version i am currently having, and maybe a couple of more features or at least a detailed explanation (help file) of the settings?

Anyways, these are the settings i use now, but to be honest i have no a single clue about most of these params what exactly do. The result looks good though and it is fun to experiment with the plugins, but without the understaiding of the actual SVP settings these all are just some gibberish to me and i feel a bit lost on the topic tongue

super=SVSuper( Video, "{pel:1,scale:{up:2},gpu:1,full:true,rc:true}")
vectors=SVAnalyse( super, "{vectors:3,block:{w:16,h:16,overlap:1},main:{search:{coarse:{width:1050,type:4,distance:-128,bad:{sad:2000,range:-12}},distance:-24,type:4}},refine:[{thsad:250}]}")
Video = SVSmoothFps(Video, super, vectors, "{gpuid:11,cubic:1,linear:false,rate:{num:5,den:2},mask:{cover:100,area:100,area_sharp:1.0},algo:23,scene:{mode:3,blend:false}}", mt=threads)

Despite the hours i just spent on experimenting with the plugins there are some artifacts remains i'd like to get rid of. For example SVP cannot seem to handle VFR (variable frame rate) inputs without losing the sync with the audio signal, and when it comes to motion estimation between frames it sometimes cannot handle them very well. Attached an image. This happens when fast motions come into play (notice the lines on the ground are also wavy), while the backgrounds are just interpolated smoothly.

Please answer!
