Deinterlacing question (1 Viewer)

[kkendall]

How can I see if deinterlacing is used or not and if so, what kind of deinterlacing is being used?

If the source material is interlaced and there is no de-interlacing performed you will notice horizontal lines across your screen.

Now regarding the type of deinterlacing being used, you have to be more specific. Do you use software deinterlacing or hardware? If you are using hardware are you using your GPU for it? and if yes then which GPU, cause they are using different methods of deinterlacing but in most cases will output the same PQ results.

Take a look at this thread - HD 1080i Test Pattern to determine Vector Adaptive Deinterlacing + others icl. Ticker - AVS Forum

With your setup - PDVD codecs & 9600GT - you should be getting nVidia Pixel Adaptive hardware de-interlacing, the best nVidia mode (equivalent to ATi Vector Adaptive).

I hope I use HW deinterlacing, but that is what I would like to find out with my first post.
My profile here shows my GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9600

Like I said, I would like to find out the method of deinterlacing.
Is HW deinterlacing being used, and if so, what kind of deinterlacing, and can i improve it. If software deinterlacing is used, why (=why is hw deinterlacing not used in that case), what kind of software deinterlacing is used and can I improve it.

I wish I could just see it when I hit Ctrl + I (or 1, what was it again, I'm at work)

By the way, what is the option in MP for that lets you choose the fallback deinterlacing mode (and what should be selected there)...it says nothing to me and the help section... is not helping actually.

+1 on everything!

Why is deinterlacing such a mess?!?!??!

In my case all I know is I'm using HW for HD, as my poor CPU couldn't handle SW, but I don't know which method...

What is the effect on the fallback settings?
What is the effect on the codec (I can see Auto/Bob/Weave in PDVD9)?
What is the effect on driver (I can see a bunch of options in CCC)?

Lots of questions unsolved...
