Second Run of AVISynth Scripts

April 2009

Following the first run of tests, the results showed that Test #1, #11, #12 and #15 produced the best quality output.

 

Test 15 was using Windows Movie Maker, so this is the choice for quick and easy conversions if you do not mind some quality loss.

 

That leaves [AVISynth] Tests #1, #11 and #12 as potential candidates for the script that produces the best quality.

Quality Definitions

 

Jerky movement is where the picture 'stutters' on a horizontal PAN

Combing is an artifact of an Interlaced picture

See the first run of tests, for examples of quality for these tests.
