WOW Respect to that student. So how is the quality of this deinterlacer against the deinterlacer from Nvidia ?
Test it :-)

Nvidia has another Spatial part up on their Temporal one. But zgregs shader does not need to hide - he is much better than intel, see here:

Edit: That's intel - I don't have an AMD system running currently, but others could perhaps post a screenshot with amd's temporal deinterlacer and burosch1 sample
Actually, I have no HTPC. Thats why I wan't to compare all possible solutions for me Smile . It's very sad that Intel has no intention to implent VPP good in their driver. Thanks for your effort. I will compare some Screenshots but I think it will be an Intel + Nvidia system.
That's yadif (software):

Thanks a lot for your effort @fritsch. It would be very nice if someone, who has AMD or Nvidia Hardware, can upload a screenshot. Thanks in advance.
I have AMD E-450 with OSS VDPAU enabled. I'm not sure if correctly turned on VDPAU Temporal deinterlacer (set to Auto):

Debug Log - most likely you run a mesa version that has no support for this deinterlacer. 10.2 is required or ubuntu's 10.1.3 version. Wsnipex and I made Ubuntu shipping it with 14.04 version - the first stable release that has it out of the box is mesa 10.2
Mesa 10.1.3 (from Ubuntu repo)
Kernel 3.15.6
XBMC 14.0-ALPHA1 Git:20b92e6
Compiz turned on, but I hope, that is not a problem in case of testing deinterlacer.

Something else is wrong with your installation - retry with a clean profile.

I don't see information in the log that VDPAU Temporal is used.

Still no way to activate it? when choosing the deinterlace method? VDPAU mixer is enabled?
Hi, where may i find this test video. Didn't find any @ burosch.de
https://samples.libav.org/MPEG2/interlaced/ <- Remember those are benchmark files, tuned to kill deinterlacers :-)
Maybe it's active?

Option 'Prefer VDPAU Mixer' is turned On. VA-API is off.

Again: CSettingsManager: requested setting (video.deinterlacemode) was not found.
