[1,2,1] refers to a vertical convolution kernel in image processing. It refers to a "block" of 1 horizontal, 3 vertical pixels. The numbers are the weights. The center "2" refers to the current pixel. Pixel values are multipled by the numbers , and the sum is taken, that's the output value. Sometimes a normalization calculation is applied with some implementations, you'd have to look at the actual code to check. But the net effect is each line is blended with it's neighbor above and below . In general, it's frowned upon, because you get "ghosting" or double image . 1 frame now is a mix of 2 different times, instead of distinct frames. But you need this property in this specific case to retain the pattern in terms of reducing the judder . Other types of typical single rate deinterlacing (such as yadif) will force you to choose the top or bottom field, and you will get a duplicate frame of before or after ruining your pattern . Double rate deinterlacing will introduce 2 frames in that spot, ruining your pattern . Those work against your reasons for doing this - anti-judder > To me, deinterlace just means weaving the odd & even lines. To me, a frame > that is already woven > doesn't need deinterlacing.

Weave means both intact fields are combined into a frame . Basically do nothing. That's how video is commonly stored. If it's progressive video, yes it doesn't need deinterlacing. By definition, progressive means both fields are from the same time, belong to the same frame Deinterlace means separating the fields and resizing them to full dimension frames by whatever algorithm +/- additional processing Single rate deinterlace means half the fields are discarded (29.97i => 29.97p) . Either odd or even fields are kept . Double rate deinterlacing means all fields are kept (29.97i => 59.94p). The "rate" refers to the output rate -- Sent from: http://www.ffmpeg-archive.org/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
