Simpsons - TFM vs QTGMC

[Selur]

I would probably use:

# Deinterlacing using TIVTC clip = core.tivtc.TFM(clip=clip) clip = core.tivtc.TDecimate(clip=clip, blockx=8, blocky=8)# new fps: 23.976 # Making sure content is preceived as frame based clip = core.std.SetFrameProps(clip=clip, _FieldBased=vs.FIELD_PROGRESSIVE) # progressive # DEBUG: vsTIVTC changed scanorder to: progressive clip = residual.Vinverse2(clp=clip) clip = core.std.Crop(clip=clip, left=6, right=6, top=0, bottom=2)# cropping to 708x478 # Fix bright and dark line artifacts near the border of an image using EdgeFixer clip = core.edgefixer.Continuity(clip=clip,left=2) # Fix bright and dark line artifacts near the border of an image using BalanceBorders clip = edge.bbmod(c=clip,cLeft=0,cTop=0,cRight=0,cBottom=4) # applying dehalo using YAHR clip = dehalo.YAHR(clip) clip = dehalo.YAHR(clip) clip = dehalo.YAHR(clip) # applying anti aliasing using santiag clip = antiAliasing.santiag(c=clip, pscrn=2) clip = core.std.AddBorders(clip=clip, left=2, right=2, top=0, bottom=2) # add borders to archive mod 8 (vsBasicVSRPPFilter) - 712x480 # adjusting color space from YUV420P8 to RGBS for vsBasicVSRPPFilter clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.RGBS, matrix_in_s="470bg", range_s="limited") # clip, new color sampling: RGBS, new bit depth: 32 # Quality enhancement using BasicVSR++ from vsbasicvsrpp import basicvsrpp as BasicVSRPP clip = BasicVSRPP(clip=clip, model=4) clip = core.std.Crop(clip=clip, left=2, right=2, top=0, bottom=2) # removing borders (vsBasicVSRPPFilter) - 708x478

the BasicVSR++ at the end is optional and could probably be replaced with some conventional cleaning or applied with a mask since it will remove some fine details otherwise.
with BasivVSR++

without BasicVSR++:
