Using other Avisynth scripts in conjuncion with SVP ones

Thank you Chainik,

I realized that for some reasons (lav video I guess) when the tv and the video frame rate where equal even if SVP was actually running (as confirmed by the OSD messages) in reality it was not working (CPU consumption was inconsistent), but I imagined it was, so adding LFS was an option, then I did a fresh new installation and now the CPU (2630QM) in some scenarios hover to 90% and sadly there is no space for LFS but the motion compensation made by SVP is stunning and now that I have seen it the "Intelligent" frame creation of my TV set (Panasonic VT30) in comparison is garbage.

Only one question (if I may) about a thing which is still not clear to me, I undertand that adding new frames (created) for instance by dubbling the frame rate more fluidity is achived, but yesterday I was watching a TV serie (Doctor Who in blu-ray through MPC-HC+DVDfab) which is 1080i 50Hz and I set MPC-HC in this cases to obviously switch the TV refresh rate to 1080p 50Hz and let lav video filter do the deinterlacing job via NVIDIA CUVID (hardware) and SVP was working all the same (and wonderfully... never seen such fluidity with almost no artifacts!), but if no frame is created (video and movie fps are the same) how is the program creating fluidity? 

Thanks again and keep up the good work I will certainly donate.

Hi,

If I set in Lav video configuration "25p/30p"(film deinterlacing mode) SVP is triggered along with motion compensation:

If otherwise I set in Lav video configuration "50/60"(video deinterlacing mode) SVP is not triggered and there is no motion compensation at all :

My guess is that in the first case the video is rebuily by Lav video into 25p and consequently SVP doubles the framerate (adding motion compensation), while in the second scenario nothing happens because te video is transformed by Lav video directly into 50p; from what I have understood these are two alternative ways of deinterlacing, but to obtain smoothnes (mind blowing in my case if I may add ) you have to choose always the first one! Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks again:)

Thanks for the tip Chainik Currently I was editing the SVPMgr.wsf to add the avisyhtn filters. This new way is easier and handy.

One thing that I miss is the possibility to add/remove filters while movie playing.
Its possible to do that?

I have crappy video sources and when I used ffdshow+framedoublingscripts I did many tests with different filters while movie playing until I got the best filter-combo for the movie.

Best regards pal!!

EDIT.- What is the correct place into the ffdshow/avisynth tab to add my own avisynth filters? Its the solution for me to see the changes realtime

Small example how it works:

1. Define new profile parameter - copy the code

MyVar;My custom variable
-1;One
-2;Two
-3;Three

to the end of "SVP 3.1\ProfileCfg\MSmoothFps_x" files

Restart SVP Manager and open profile editor:

2. Use this variable in SVPMgr.wsf code like this:

myVar=valueProfile("MyVar");
switch(myVar)
{
case 1: <do something>; break;
case 2: <do something else>; break;
...
}

Hi guys.. currently I use SVP with other avisynth filters and scripts.
I know the places in MSmoothfps and svpmgr.wsf to write the filters that will be applied Before SVP frameinterpolation process.
What is the file and place to write avisyhtn processing lines After SVP frameinterpolation process?

Thanks for the help and support

(sorry for the new thread Chainik).

Adding a New line at the end of SVSmoothFps didnt work,
It works if you add a .myfilter() in the last line but not sure if its the correct place that you point

edit.- I get strange behavior if I use resizes in this place

this is my MSmoothFps.avs file

super=SVSuper(super_params)
vectors=SVAnalyse(super, analyse_params)
smooth_video=SVSmoothFps(super, vectors, smoothfps_params, mt=threads, url="www.svp-team.com").bilinearresize(1024,768)

Video with double view (left, right) + Green screen + artifacts.

My goal is use scripts that uses resize command to create masks/etc.. not just a simple resize as this example. (I wrote that in case someone reply saying that I can just resize after SVP with ffdshow )

Hi MAG79
Im testing with your construction and there is some error with it.

avisynth Message
"I dont know what "lastsmooth_video"means

Im not suing any own avisynth line yet... My MSmoothFps.avs file only have these 5 lines that you posted

@chainik
Oh My excuses. Im a newbie
@MAG79
I found the problem of this code:

super=SVSuper(super_params)
vectors=SVAnalyse(super, analyse_params)
smooth_video=SVSmoothFps(super, vectors, smoothfps_params, mt=threads, url="www.svp-team.com").bilinearresize(1024,768)

The doubled image+green screen appear cause I use Overlay mixer. If I change to VMR7/9 the problem dissapear, but these renders are terribly slow in my mamchine. No 3D videocard here.

this way does not work for me:

super=SVSuper(super_params)
vectors=SVAnalyse(super, analyse_params)
SVSmoothFps(super, vectors, smoothfps_params, mt=threads, url="www.svp-team.com")
bilinearresize(1024,768)
smooth_video=last

@MAG79

Yes finally it works with your empty line trick. Thanks a lot pal!
I dont have any world domination script that I dont want to share. I do lots of test trying to find the best filter combo for all sources (an impossible mission as you know but I enjoy with the experiments

sharpeners:
finesharp (very good for 1080 content)
awarpsharp2 (for anime and crappy sources)

line darkerners:
toonlite (anime)

remove noise:
hqdn3d
removegrain

deband:
gradfun2db

Everything available in doom9 forums as you know... no mysterious scripts

I was asking for place to add scripts After SVP cause I do lot of experiments. Sometimes same filter works better before SVP others after SVP.
Currently doing experiments adding noise (addgrain) before and after SVP when I use low quality sources.. or even add Scanlines.. that is only possible after SVP.

I think that Its an offtopic for this forum.. but these are the "other" scripts that I use a part from SVP

AndreaMG
I don't think using MT() in conjunction with SetMTMode() is a good idea. The script is already parallelized by some number of threads set in SVP.

If I put it before the frames will be on the other hand sharpened before the doubling?

yep

I thing the results should be visually the same

not really cause interpolated frames are always a little blurred
but I'm not sure if someone could really notice that

Is it correct in my case always force it to use 8 cores?

nope, in this case CPU won't use all it's power if it'll be needed
though it doesn't matter in case of DVDs
