hi

I think that in the last two updates, the change isn't working for me the way it used to.

SkyGo gives an error when Hybrid is running.

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:21:25 +0200

I use SkyGo to watch TV (Sky) in my office, and I have always known that it won't play anything when Hybrid is loaded as it reports that "software capable of capturing video is running"...

I accepted this one of those things.. And in truth, its frustrating as what I am doing with Hybrid has nothing to do with Sky.. I am only using it to compress some videos, but I can understand that Skys software could detect this and this as suspicious. So I just lived with it and encoded at times when I am not watching Sky.

I just had reason to use "Handbrake" and was surprised to see that Sky did not report an a problem when this was doing its thing, even thought it was doing almost exact the same thing that I use Hybrid for.. So I just thought it was worth posting here incase anyone has any thoughts as to possible solutions/workarounds to this?

I am not using Hybrid to do do anything relating to Sky or TV.. I am simply encoding some personal videos at the same time as I am watching TV..

Anyone aware of this limitation? And perhaps know of a way to fix it?

Ringing, Mosquito or Blocking

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:40:53 +0200

Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble improving the quality of an anime video and I can’t seem to fully fix it.
Source info:

FPS: 29.970
I already processed it with SRestore to get back to 23.976 fps
I also used QTGMC to fix interlacing

Current issue:
There are still a lot of small bright and colored pixels around the lineart (edges). It looks like strong compression artifacts (ringing / mosquito noise), almost like an over-compressed JPEG.
What I already tried in Hybrid:

DeHaloAlpha (Radius 2, Strength 1–2)
HQDeRing (Y + U + V checked)
Deband (f3kdb Neo, light settings)

Despite this, the pixels around the lines are still very visible.
What I’m looking for:

Best way to reduce/remove these artifacts without destroying line detail
Recommended filters or settings in Hybrid / VapourSynth
Whether this can be properly fixed or if it’s just a limitation of the source

If needed, I can provide screenshots or a sample.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Qualität der Einstellung bei Anime schwächer seit Version 03.27.2026

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 13:29:32 +0200

Ich habe früher Version 09.11.1.2025 benutzt, also eine Version vom 11.09.2025, wobei ich immer als Schärfeeinstellung, CAS, aWarpSharp 2 und Adaptive Sharpen als Filter und RealESRGAN realesr-anime als Resizer benutzt habe. Zusätzlich wurde SMDegrain verwendet mit RefineMotion und plane = all. Dabei war die Qualität der Linien insgesamt etwas schärfer. Ist das dem Umstand geschuldet, dass zuvor plane = all und RefineMotion vorher nicht ein Problem hatten? Ich nehme an, dass es Chroma Smearing ist, da jetzt plane = all funktioniert. Sollte ich dann auf luma only schalten oder wie erhalte ich die alte Grafikqualität. Man sieht es z.B. bei einer Szene von Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ziemlich deutlich, wenn es im Hintergrund dunkel ist, dass die Linien nicht mehr ganz so stark betont werden. Was kann ich ansonsten einstellen, damit die Linien etwas mehr betont werden, bzw. was würdest du auch als Einstellung empfehlen, um ein möglichst scharfes Ergebnis bei dennoch moderater Dateigröße zu erzeugen? Ich nutze da meist NVEnc, constant quality, Encoder Preset quality, i420 Sampling und quality auf 32 gesetzt. Gibt es dort bessere Einstellungen für Qualität und Dateigröße, aber auch FPS (bisher sind es um die 6,50 FPS bei der Bearbeitung)? Was empfiehlst du bei Anime da grundsätzlich? Zusätzlich kann ich bei der jetzigen Version auch nicht mehr die Option "Compare view" nutzen, wo man jetzt nur noch das Original Bild angezeigt bekommt. Die Option ist aber aktiviert. Ich bedanke mich vielmals für eine Antwort.

Das Problem mit dem Compare view hat sich erledigt. Es war nur zu stark rangezoomt. Es bleibt aber noch die andere Frage bestehen.

Backing up up my Simpsons dvd collection. I did tivtc with qtgmc fast, VInverse2, KNLMeansCL, YAHR, Santiag followed by a NNEDi3 resize to convert to square pixels at 640x480. The result is great except for about 100 frames around the 2:30 mark. It seems to be imbedded in the source as it occurs even when i play the untouched vob ripped from the disc. Any idea's of how to fix this? Can i just fix the 100 or so problem frames without messing with the rest of the episode?

Vapoursynth not appearing in Hybrid UI / DDColor, DeOldify, HAVC not starting

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:09:41 +0200

Hi Selur, I'm trying to get DDColor and vsdeoldify working on CachyOS Linux (Arch-based).
My setup:

Hybrid 2025.11.09.1
VapourSynth R73 (installed via pacman/AUR)
Python 3.12.13 (installed via AUR as python312)
vsdeoldify 5.6.5 and vsddcolor installed in ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/
RTX 5080, CUDA 13.2, PyTorch 2.11+cu130
misc.ini has: pythonPath and vsScriptPath set correctly

Hybrid detects VapourSynth correctly (log shows "-> detected Vapoursynth") but then removes DDColor, DeOldify and HAVC during the VapourSynth tab initialization. No VapourSynth tab appears in the UI.
What does Hybrid check specifically to decide whether to show DDColor/DeOldify? Is there a specific file or package it looks for?

Hallo

Ich nutze das Programm jetzt ungefähr 2 Monate um meine DVDs von Seinfeld zu bearbeiten. Heute habe ich es auch genutzt und jetzt habe ich das Problem, dass ich einfach nicht mehr rein komm. Hab es auch deinstalliert und neu installiert aber es hilft nichts.

vs-vsrvrt

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 16:21:05 +0100

Hi Selur.
You've included vs-vsrvrt, which you mentioned on doom9, in the new Hybrid release.
I'm interested in trying it out.

A little cosmetic glitch

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 13:10:08 +0100

Hi!

Only a little cosmetic glitch :

SVT-AV1/Rate control tab/Quantisation matrices section/Min-Max. "Max" is a bit upper than needed.

Thanks.

NTSC 29.97 converted to PAL VHS 25fps - back to 2398?

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 12:47:43 +0100

Back in the 1990s a number of US mail-order companies offered PAL copies of their VHS tapes, which would have been converted from S-VHS NTSC to PAL VHS via a Panasonic AV-W1. I've got a number of these tapes which are compilations of 35mm film trailers. I've captured them to ProRes and I'd like to restore them back to their original 23.976 progressive framerate.

As you can see from the attached sample, the poor standards conversion from NTSC to PAL has created a bit of a mess. What would be the best way of fixing these? I tried sRestore and saw a lot of dupe frames, and even some frames seemingly split into two via a jagged line.

Problems with de-interlacing

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 14:51:42 +0100

I've processed several 29.97 interlaced videos recently (originally shot on film), and have tried using both TIVTC and sRestore (Avisynth) to go from 29.97 interlaced to 23.976 progressive. However, MediaInfo is reporting the following on the processed files. Am I doing something so obviously wrong I've missed it?

before and after comparison

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:56:21 +0100

not hybrid related, but i figured out this would be a nice place to ask.

for a few days now when i am trying to create a new album on imgsli.com it says site under construction. do we have any alternative? that also provides a link for each before/after?
