<p>I was perusing the DScaler web site and found that there is a new
deinterlacing algorithm. I'm not sure but I think it is superior to
Greedy2Frame. Is this available for MPlayer? It sounds fantastic!
I'd
love to see it in action.<br>
</p>
<p>Here's a link to the page and source code:</p>

This method is the latest and greatest method from Tom Barry. This new
method improves on some of the older methods in two important ways. </p>
<ol>
<li>Where there is motion, the bob pixels are generated by looking
along a series of diagonals as well as simple the ones above and below.</li>
<li>Also when there is motion the code will try and spot slowly
moving
objects and will try and maintain the detail on those objects.</li>
</ol>
<p> The combined effect of these two searches is a big jump in picture
quality and also a big jump in CPU usage. </p>
<hr>
<p> <b><font face="Arial" size="4"> Who Should Use It? </font></b> </p>
<p> Everybody with a fast machine. 1 GHz is about the minimum required
to use this method. </p>
<hr>
<p> <b><font face="Arial" size="4"> The Settings </font></b> </p>
<p> There are only two options to set for this method: </p>
<ol>
<li>Search Effort: This setting will control how much CPU is used by
the method by controlling how big an area the method will search
looking for matches. A Search effort (SE) of 0 means that all pixels
are smart bobbed and is not recommended. SE = 1 does no motion
compensation, but doesn benefit from the diagonal bob interpolation. SE
> 1 starts to do true MoComp with increasing CPU demands. You should
use the highest value that allows you to run any other filters etc
withuot dropped frames.</li>
<li>Use Strange Bob: This was some test code added by John Adcock to
try and reduce the number of errors in the diagonal searches. It is not
recommended.</li>
</ol>
