New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!! (Page 71 of 77)

What are the values that work well with 1080p and 4K? That could be of use to many of us on here.

I was going to say that this was probably a language misunderstanding but I felt you might be insulted by me saying that. But you still don't understand so that's clearly the issue. The key words "sharp" and  "jarring" used together like this is always bad. SVP and NVOF have "jarring" cuts means they have bad scene cuts.

Oh! Interesting, well it happens a lot with Mandalorian S3E4, it has become my torture test the scene at the start with a lot of panning shots (first 3 or so minutes).

Hopefully in the future you find a solution to the above as well, that would be amazing!

Also, for me I have been using "SVP Motion Vectors" for Scene Change Detection since the latest update and I'm happy with it.

For anyone interested, this is my mpv config now - you can scroll up and down in the code below to see the full config:

Remove - updated in below post.

Regarding the below:

I will experiment myself, but any recommendations for 4K content only? I always just watch 4K high bitrate content now. So, I want highest quality if there are further improvements. I am happy with default, but always interested in tweaking haha

Thanks for this. There's nothing in your config that makes a difference for SVP and we've already had the discussion about config lines that essentially do nothing or are even contradictory. But if you are happy with the picture then I suppose it doesn't matter However I am interested in the error-diffusion you chose so I will try that out. Thanks

Wow yeah that makes sense.

What is interesting is why does some DV content work ALMOST flawlessly with very little blinking or stutter in some TV shows, such as House of the Dragon, but then Disney TV shows with DV stutter so much now (flicker before)?

EDIT: Fixed as I just noticed it happening in very specific scenes in HoTD, but very limited.

So, I assume the answer is colour grading and luminance grading. The higher the quality and smoothness between frames, the less it occurs. And HotD is produced with very high quality.

Can you point out the config lines that do nothing in my latest config, and also the ones that are contradictory and what they are contradicting? I would love to tone it down and clean it up. I thought this is the cleaned-up version as I removed and changed many of the old lines after the latest SVP update that fixed flickering.

I'll post the latest config here as a quote:

What are these for exactly?

First here's the appology I owe you. I must have been reading with old, assuming eyes

As for the shaders, just like Rife, a lot of this applies to Anime and results are based on machine generated scores. I've had almost every shader in my config at one point or another including the 3 above. Krig is technically it is better than default but visually speaking the difference myself and others have found is negligible. Since I read that it can generate also errors I stopped using it.  SSSimDownscaler might be great for Anime but when used with video content it's too sharp even for me, but especially when tested with calibration tools. FSRCNNX is a GPU killer for anything above 1080p. I've been using it to upscale low res poor quality content but i recently removed it because like the other AI based upscalers it made little visual difference. That's why I initially said that it's personal taste and machine generated scores.

Nowadays I mostly use in-built scalers.

New version
4.19 (Add SportsSlomo) - 2024.07.12

I've found that the key to the best picture quality is basic picture calibration. Get the brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma right and 90% of the work is done. You need a calibration disc like Spears & Munsil for this. Like @Blackfyre, my MPV config has evolved over time and is now much simpler. MPV has been around for years and its defaults are set after dev testing, discussion and years of user feedback, some of which I have read.

I set SVP downscale to Bilinear to remove any obvious sharpening done by SVP. Lanczos is a great default but even with the mildest MPV scaling algorithm I sometimes see bad effects like ringing when used with SVP sharpening. This is NOT a problem with SVP, just a consequence of double sharpening so I want full control over sharpening post downscale.

I use Lanczossharp which is the default scaler. For movies on a large screen it's not actually that sharp, but it might be the most natural of the sharp scalers. For additional sharpening I use Contrast Adaptive Sharpening because it gives more fine tune control. But you can get a similar affect with a lot less hassle using the Adaptive Sharpening shader and others. Maybe also SSIMDownscaler.

Did anybody try to manually update the TRT libraries to v15.1: latest TensorRT library? Any benefits over the standard TRT install from SVP?

Don't upgrade. Both myself (twice) and @Chainik have already explained why. The next version will hopefully be fixed.
