Interlacing patterns

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 10:20:33 +0100

If you are uncertain if a source is interlaced, telecined,... it helps to look at the frame patterns that occur if you Bob deinterlace the content.
That said, here are the typical patterns you might encounter:
Typical interlace patterns:

content is progressive:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see: stop -> forward_movment -> stop -> forward_movement **
- applying AssumeBFF().Bob()* you will see: stop -> forward_movment -> stop -> forward_movement **
content is field shifted:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see: backwards_movment -> forward_movment -> backwards_movment -> forward_movment **, ***
- applying AssumeBFF().Bob()* you will see: forward_movment -> stop -> forward_movement -> stop **, ***
content is interlaced TFF:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see: forward_movment -> forward_movment -> forward_movment -> forward_movement **
- applying AssumeBFF().Bob()* you will see: forward_movment -> backwards_movment -> forward_movement -> backwards_movment **
content is interlaced BFF:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see: forward_movment -> backwards_movment -> forward_movement -> backwards_movment **
- applying AssumeVFF().Bob()* you will see: forward_movment -> forward_movment -> forward_movment -> forward_movement **
content is interlaced XFF with blending:
- same as the corresponding interlaced pattern, but you will also see some blended (= ghosted) frames in-between
content is telecine:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see 3 times forward_movement 2 still frames
content is mixed:
- applying AssumeTFF().Bob()* you will see a mix of any of the above

* in Hybrid you would use QTGMC+Bob
** then moving through the content
*** or vice versa

About Vapoursynth custom sections

Sun, 13 Feb 2022 09:31:18 +0100

If you add a custom section through "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Custom", be aware that you are responsible for

importing everything that your script needs.
taking care of any color conversion, etc. .
letting Hybrid know if your custom section changed the clips characteristics (width, height, scantype, colorformat, framerate).

Hybrid does not support changing the frame count in custom sections.

To let Hybrid know you changed one of the characteristics add:

# characteristicName characteristicValue

for example:

# width 400

# height 400

# scantype tff

# colorformat YUV448

# framerate 120

About Vapoursynth Filter Order/Queue

Sat, 27 Feb 2021 15:36:32 +0100

Hybrid does not allow the user you randomly write it's own code mainly because it's a pain to debug.

To give the user some control over the generated script aside Hybrid offers two methods
a. a filter order with custom additions
b. a filter queue with custom additions

Filter Order:
When 'Filter Order' is used (this is the default), all available filters (some combined in a group) and be called once inside a script.
The order in which they can be called is defined by the 'Filter Order' (Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Filter Order/Queue).
One can change the order of the filters using the 'Filter Order'-controls.
Note that there is one restriction to this freedom of ordering: crop < rotate < resize < letterbox
This means that cropping always needs to be done before rotating, which always need to be done before resizing, which always needs to be done before letterboxing.
This restriction exists since I otherwise would have to rewrite the resize/letterbox/output resolution calculation, which would be a real pain and cost more time than I'm willing to spend on it.
Additionally to the ability to rearrange the filters through the filter order a user can add custom additions to the script before each of the filters/filter groups in the filter order.

Filter Order + Custom addition:
When adding a custom addition be aware that Hybrid does not validate the code you write there.
So if you write something that isn't proper Vapoursynth code it will break the script.
Also keep in mind that Hybrid disables (as far as possibily) any autoloading of Vapoursynth, so make sure the filters and scripts you use are either already included in the script or get actively loaded in the custom section.
Also if your custom addition changes changes: width, height, scantype, colorformat or framerate let Hybrid know.
Hybrid will scan the custom code for lines like:

# width X

# height Y

# scantype S

# frametype F

with:

X from [48-32768]
Y from [48-32768]
S being from [progressive, telecine, bff, tff]
F from [1-999.0000] (int or double, with '.' as separator, so no ',')

Filter Queue:
Supporting a filter queue instead of using a more resticted filter order allows the user to:

add most filters multiple times (atm. Deinterlacers, Crop, Rotation, FrameInterpolation, Resize, Letterboxing, AddingSubtitle can only be added once, since I didn't get time to write code for adding them multiple times)
the order of filters can be rearranged with the same restriction to this freedom of ordering like in the filter queue: crop < rotate < resize < letterbox.
custom additions can be added anywhere.

Note that this freedom comes at a price, when using the filter queue, the user not only must decide which filter he wants to use, he must actively add the filter settings to the filter queue and adjust it's positition as needed.
Filter Queue always contains entries for:

Deinterlace
Rotation
Crop
Frameinterpolation
Resize
Letterboxing
AddingSubtitle

These are auto generated from the settings in the gui.

Filter Queue + Custom:
Unlike with the filter order, adding a custom addition to the filter queue can be done more freely, but hinting width, height etc. is still required.

To understand the restriction here is how Hybrid maps them:

The currently known and supported:

GRAY8, GRAY16, GRAYH, GRAYS
YUV420P8, YUV422P8, YUV444P8, YUV410P8, YUV411P8, YUV440P8,
YUV420P9, YUV422P9, YUV444P9, YUV420P10, YUV422P10, YUV444P10,
YUV420P16, YUV422P16, YUV444P16, YUV444PH, YUV444PS,
RGB24, RGB27, RGB30, RGB32, RGB48, RGBH, RGBS
COMPATBGR32, COMPATYUY2

The groups:

ALLGRAYX: GRAY8, GRAY16
ALLGRAYFLOAT: GRAYH, GRAYS
ALLGRAY: ALLGRAYX, ALLGRAYFLOAT
ALLYUV8: YUV420P8, YUV422P8, YUV444P8, YUV410P8, YUV411P8, YUV440P8
ALLYUV9: YUV420P9, YUV422P9, YUV444P9
ALLYUV10: YUV420P10, YUV422P10, YUV444P10
ALLYUV16: YUV420P16, YUV422P16, YUV444P16
ALLYUVX: ALLYUV8, ALLYUV9, ALLYUV10, ALLYUV16
ALLYUVFLOAT: YUV444PH, YUV444PS
ALLYUV: ALLYUVX, ALLYUVFLOAT
ALLRGBX: RGB24, RGB27, RGB30, VSRGB32, RGB48
ALLRGBFLOAT: RGBH, RGBS
ALLRGB: ALLRGBX, ALLRGBFLOAT, COMPATBGR32
ALLCOMPAT: COMPATBGR32, COMPATYUY2
ALL: ALLGRAY, ALLYUV, ALLRGB, ALLCOMPAT
FULLYUV: YUV440P8, YUV444P8, YUV444P9, YUV444P10, YUV444P16

There are probably discrepancies to the actual capabilities of the filter due to mistakes or changes in the filters I missed or simply that there was no documentation when about the filters capabilities when I added support for it.
In example Hybrid might restrict a filter that doesn't need to be restricted or doesn't restrict the filter enough or too much.
-> if you find a mistake let me know and I'll fix it.

Hybrid on Linux

Sat, 18 Apr 2020 08:07:15 +0200

Trying to list some things that might be interesting here.

DivX264 and Nero require 32bit runtimes
On Debian based systems with apt:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Luma mapping 8/10/12bit

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 16:38:11 +0100

Here's a small overview of the luma mappings for 8/10/12bit.

bit depth	TV scale	PC scale
8 bit	16-235	0-255
10 bit	64-940	0-1023
12 bit	256-3760	0-4095

Normally not really needed info, but sometimes a small table for lookup is nice.

About pixel aspect ratios,..

Sat, 08 Sep 2018 22:57:07 +0200

We differentiate between three types of aspect ratio:
Display Aspect Ratio (DAR): the aspect ratio of the image as displayed. ('4:3', '16:9', '16:11',...)
Storage Aspect Ratio (SAR): which is the ratio of pixel dimensions. ('720:480','720:576','1920:1080')
Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR): which is ratio of the pixels themselfes. ('1:1', see below tables)

Here's how these three relate to each other: SAR × PAR = DAR
Meaning: If you multiply the shape of the pixels with their dimensions you get the display aspect ratio.

Since in video and image processing people can't make it simple there have been a lot of pixel aspect ratios definitions over the years, since the most common you will encounter are either the MPEG-4, ITU-R 601 or Generic defined values I will only list these:

MPEG-4: (common for MPEG-4 based content)

DAR	PAL	NTSC
4:3	12/11	10/11
16:9	16/11	40/33

ITU-R 601: (common for analog content)

DAR	PAL	NTSC
4:3	1150/1053	38800/42651
16:9	4600/3159	155200/127953

Generic: (common for MPEG-2 based content)

DAR	PAL	NTSC
4:3	16/15	8/9
16:9	64/45	32/27

and the most common as pixel aspect ratio: Square Pixel 1:1, which means that the DAR and the PAR are the same.

Side note:
Is content is encoded with a pixel aspect ratio that is not 1:1 it's called anamorphic.
A good read about the topic is The Ultimate Guide to Anamorphic Widescreen DVD (forDummies!) by Bill Hunt from The Digital Bits.
On playback, players will resize to the PAR of the display which usually is 1:1.

Using Vapoursynth on Mac OS X

Sat, 07 Apr 2018 09:11:41 +0200

To be able to use Vapoursynth on Mac OS X I recommend to use:
The VapourSynth macOS Installer from l33tmeatwad.
The general steps are:

download the latest release (currently: VapourSynth_R43_180403.pkg)
install it
download the latest Vapoursynth Scripts for Hybrid (currently 20180410)
copy it's content (the files) into your '/Library/Frameworks/VapourSynth.framework/lib/python3.6/site-packages/'-folder
Start up Hybrid (v2018008+) and enable Filtering->Support->Vapoursynth

Side note:
copying can be done with for example:

sudo cp /Users/selur/Downloads/VapoursynthScriptsInHybrid-20180408/* /Library/Frameworks/VapourSynth.framework/lib/python3.6/site-packages/

Incompatibility with other programs

Sun, 02 Jul 2017 09:11:45 +0200

Here is a list of tools that are known to let Hybrid crash when they are installed:

OS Mac X:

moom changes the window manager which causes Qt to crash
Default Folder X changes open/save dialogs which causes Qt to crash

Linux:

nothing atm.

Windows

Avisynth 2.5x, conflicts with the portable Avisynth 2.6 MT that Hybrid uses. Using Vapoursynth instead of Avisynth in Hybrid 'fixes' the problem.
MSI-Afterburner, causes the installer to run out of memory. (no clue why a graphic driver tool interferes in an installation)

About profiles and saving settings,....

Sat, 06 May 2017 16:25:38 +0200

Hybrid offers multiple option to save stuff:

Defaults, default values which get automatically loaded when Hybrid is started
- Reload a default settings: Config->Defaults->Reload->Reload All Models
- Reset to Hybrids default settings: Config->Defaults->Reset->Reset All Models
- Save the current settings as defaults: Config->Defaults->Save->Save All Models
- If you want Hybrid to automatically save the current settings on close as Defaults, you need to enable: Config->Profiles->Auto save defaults
Global Profiles, like the defaults a global profile cotains all settings in the you, but unlike the defaults it will not be automatically loaded
- Save a gloial profile: Config->Profiles->Global Profiles->Save
- Apply a global profile: Config->Profiles->Global Profiles->Apply
- Delete a global profile: Config->Profiles->Global Profiles->Delete
Specific Profiles, contain either audio, video, Vapoursynth, Avisynth, configurations of a specific tab, here is an example for the x264 tab:
- Save x264 settings: x264->Configuration->Save
- Apply x264 settings: x264->Configuration->Apply
- Delete x264 settings: x264->Configuration->Delete
AV-Combo-Profiles, combine an audio and video profile
- Save an AV-Combo profile: Config->Profiles->AV-Combo Create->Save
- Apply an AV-Combo profile: Main->Apply AV Combo
- Delete an AV-Combo profile: Config->Profiles->AV-Combo Create->Delete
- Modify an AV-Combo profile: Config->Profiles->AV-Combo Create->Edit

Most people probably are happy is they use global profiles, but depending on what you want all the other options might be interesting too.

Cu Selur

Ps.: There is also a 'Config->Profiles->Auto save defaults' option, so that Hybrid will save the current settings as defaults on closing Hybrid.

hidden Hybrid options,...

Sat, 06 May 2017 16:09:02 +0200

Here I list otherwise undocumented options that I added or that are there but nearly nobody notices,..

extending the number of supported input formats:
If you download the 'binary codec pack' from http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ extract it next to your Hybrid (mencoder/mplayer binary) version and rename the extracted folder to 'codecs' Hybrids mplayer&mencoder can use the included codecs to decode even more formats.
Info: processing order of the avisynth filters of the avisynthExtension:
1. input source
2. before deinterlace
  - deblocking (depending on configuration)
  - deringing
  - color adjustments
3. deinterlace and frame adjustments
4. crop
5. filtering (order depending on configuration)
  - color modifications
  - deblocking
  - vinverse
  - denoise
  - sharpening
  - deringing
  - dehalo
  - grain handling
  - stabilize
  - anit-aliasing
  - deband
  - line darkening
  - noise generator
6. resize (depending on configuration)
7. letterbox
8. subtitle
9. add logo
10. interlace / telecine
Info: default settings path: here's where Hybrid normally saves it's data on you system (unless settingPath is specified)
- Win7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\hybrid
- WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\hybrid
- Linux/Mac: /home/USERNAME/.hybrid/
adding custom fonts: i.e. to properly render .ass some subtitles
- Copy the font into your 'Custom font folder' (see: Config->Path->Infos)
- Alternatively modify the fontconfig setting to scan the folder where your font lies
make Hybrid portable (Windows only):
- install Hybrid on a system
- copy the Hybrid folder to a separate folder
- deinstall Hybrid
- create a new subfolder inside the new folder i.e. 'settings'
- create a misc.ini (if not preset in the folder) and change it's content to
  [General]
  settingPath=.\\settings
misc.ini location:
The misc.ini either needs to be next to the binary (typical for Windows) or in a ".hybrid" folder inside your home directory (typical for Mac and Linux).
misc.ini options:
- disable warnings about missing tools:
  create a misc.ini (if not preset in the folder) and change it's content to
  ignore=tool1;tool2
  and Hybrid will not post warnings about a missing tool1 or tool2
- change default settings path:
  settingPath=PathtoSettingsFolder
  or
  settingPath=.\\settings
  (backslashes need to be escaped!)
- allows to run Hybrid as a user which has administrator rights (Windows only)
  runAsAdmin=true
  I recommend not to use this if possible, if you use it and Hybrid (or a tool it comes with) messes with your files, don't blame me.
- change GUI country:
  country=CountryNumber
  (country number choices -> http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlocale.html#Country-enum)
- change GUI fontsize:
  fontSize=sizeA
- change GUI toolTipFontSize:
  toolTipFontSize=sizeB
- default subtitle font color:
  defaultColor=00FF00FF
- add additional mkv tags:
  additionalMkvTags="tag1;tag2"
  this way Hybrid will add tag1 and tag2 to the list of standard tags that can be detected
- load global profile:
  globalProfile="Path to global profile"
  this way Hybrid will load a specific global profile on start-up
- change the default video output mode for mplayer:
  voMode=VOMODE
  VOMODE can be in example 'directx', 'direct3d', 'gl',..
  call 'mplayer -vo help' to see which are supported by your mplayer version
- change the default audio output mode for mplayer:
  aoMode=AOMODE
  AOMODE can be in example 'win32', 'dsound', 'sdl',..
  call 'mplayer -ao help' to see which are supported by your mplayer version
- remove all icons:
  disableIcons=true
  this way Hybrid will use text on the buttons instead of icons
- enable support for old (nvcuenc) cuda encoder:
  supportNVCUEncCuda=true
- never overwrite output files:
  noOverwriting=true
- enabled ssl email notification support:
  the following parameters need to be set:
  - smtpFrom="YOUR EMAIL"
  - smtpUser="USER OF THE EMAIL ACCOUNT"
  - smtpPassword="PASSWORD FOR THE EMAIL ACCOUNT"
  - smtpHost="SMTP SERVER ADDRESS"
  - smtpPort=PORT, WHERE THE SMTP SERVER SUPPORTS SSL
  - smtpTo="RECIPIENT EMAIL ADDRESS"
- only if all these are present, will the 'Jobs->Misc->Send email'-options be enabled
- enabled IRC message notification support:
  the following parameters need to be set:
  - ircUser="USER NAME HYBRID SHOULD CONNECT AS"
  - ircChannel="CHANNEL NAME HYBRID SHOULD CONNECT TO"
  - ircPort=PORT WHERE THE IRC SERVER SUPPORTS SSL
  - ircServer="THE IRC SERVER ADDRESS"
- only if all these are present, will the 'Jobs->Misc->Send IRC message'-options be enabled
- enable avisynth with wine support on Linux:
  avisynthOnLinux=true
- alternative Avisynth plugins folder:
  avisynthExtensionPath="PATH TO the plugins folder"
  note: if you use this avisynth.dll and DevIL.dll need to be either next to your Hybrid binary or in case you use WINE inside your wine Windows-System folder.
- Monitoring a folder:
  monitorFolder="Path to folder"
  read: http://forum.selur.de/topic223-tip-add-webui-or-hybrid-remote-control.html for a better understanding of what is done,..
- enable vapoursynth:
  vapoursynth=true
- disable search for nvidia gpu:
  nonvidia=true
- Side notes:
  - misc.ini needs to be next to the Hybrid binary, for Mac Usersthis means inside the Hybrid.app
  - lines which start with the #-symbol are considered comments in the misc.ini file
  - misc.ini entries are Case-Sensitive
  - misc.ini always needs to start with [General] in the first line
  - here's an example misc.ini file
    [General]
    #settingPath="./settings"
    #noOverwriting=true
    disableIcons=true
    fontSize=15
    toolTipFontSize=15
    #voMode="directx:noaccel"
drag&drop: Hybrid will load content if you drag&drop it on it's icon/binary/shortcut
Command Line Interface (CLI):
Hybrid has a bunch of parameters that can be set through the CLI:
- -stylesheet "Path to style sheet", see: https://web.archive.org/web/201806261206...yling.html
- -style StyleName, see: https://web.archive.org/web/201806261206...yling.html
- -global "Path to global profile", this will load a specific global profile on start-up
- -autoAdd mode, mode can either be add or addAndStart which will cause Hybrid to either just try to add or try to add and start with the current configuration
additionally you can add one or multiple inputs to the Command line, so something like:
Hybrid -style cleanlooks -stylesheet "d:\Hybrid\styles\black-blue_plastique.qss" -global "c:\MyProfiles\makeItSmall.xml" -autoAdd addAndStart "d:\Input1.avi" "d:\InputX.mp4"
is possible
Additional aac encoders:
- fhgaacenc: to use fhgaacenc, you need to either install WinAmp 5.6+ or libmp4v2.dll and enc_fhgaac.dll inside the Hybrid folder. (Windows only)
- NeroAacEnc: download NeroAacEnc and extract the neroAacEnc binary into the Hybrid/32bit folder; on linux to /usr/bin/ or similar (Window&Linux only)
- qaac: requires the 'Apple Application Support', which comes with Quicktime and Itunes, to be installed (Windows only)
- fdkaac: should either be included in you self compiled ffmpeg or in a also self compile fdkaac binary, which you simply need to place next to the Hybrid binary, for Hybrid to detect it. For Windows there is a FDKaac autobuild script, thereavisynthOnLinux are no fdkaac binary downloads since it's license forbids it (unless you pay a license an got a written allowance).
Building the tools needed for Hybrid under Windows:
To build the tools Hybrid uses under Windows I normally use jb-alvarado's media-autobuild_suite.

I'll update the list once I add new undocumented options,...

For those of you who wonder what I will do with the money I get, here's the global plan so far:

pay the server costs I pay to http://www.tophoster.com/ (not really high atm. )
in case the amount of donations should rise, I plan to re-donate some of the money to projects Hybrid builds on
buy the occasional pizza and lottery ticket
no clue ...

Greetings Selur
