Introduction

This package of plugin functions for Avisynth provides the means for removing combing artifacts from telecined progressive streams, interlaced streams, and mixtures thereof. Functions can be combined to implement inverse telecine (IVTC) for both NTSC and PAL streams.

The term "combing" is used as a general term versus "interlacing" because interlacing is usually associated with nonprogressive streams. What look like interlacing artifacts can be seen on telecined progressive streams, so I use the term combing to refer to all such artifacts, regardless of the type of the stream.

The package automatically adapts to any telecine/capture patterns, and mixtures thereof, although if you want to decimate the recovered progressive stream, you have to specify the desired decimation ratio if it differs from the default 1-in-5 used for NTSC 3:2 telecining. None of the functions introduce a delay in the audio or video streams.

For many applications, there are few parameters to set, but best results are achieved with careful setting of parameters. Decomb allows the user to define his own default parameters if desired (defaults are the values assumed if the parameter is not specified explicitly).

Many of Decomb's decisions can be manually overridden as desired using text override files. This allows meticulous users to achieve the best possible quality for their encodes.

This is the reference manual for Decomb. Refer to the Decomb Tutorial for user-friendly procedures for using Decomb, and to the Decomb FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions.


Functions Overview

The package consists of the following functions:


Input Requirements

Telecide requires that the input width be a multiple of 2. Deviation from this will cause Telecide to throw an exception.

Do not resize vertically before applying Decomb. Decomb needs to see the original line spacing to properly detect combing.

Telecide requires YUY2 or YV12 color format as input. The DLL shipped with this version of Decomb will work only with Avisynth version 2.5 and beyond.

It is preferable not to convert between YV12 and YUY2 (either way) before using Decomb. Apply Decomb in the native color space. Such conversions can cause artifacts due to incorrect chroma upsampling/downsampling.

For YV12 operation, the only supported version of "mpeg2dec" is MarcFD's mpeg2dec3 (version 0.94 and beyond). Other versions may produce incorrect output.


Important Speed Tips

Avoid Converting the Color Space  Be aware that converting to YUY2 from RGB is very time expensive, so don't save your AVIs in RGB. The popular HUFYUV codec has an option to convert RGB to YUY2 and you should enable that when generating AVIs with HUFYUV that are destined for Decomb processing.

Don't Postprocess Unnecessarily  Try Telecide without postprocessing if you think there is a chance that you have a nice clean input stream. If you do have such a stream, you'll find that processing runs faster without postprocessing.

Don't Invoke an Avisynth Strangeness  This one is very important and can easily cost you a 25% speed penalty! It appears that Avisynth has a strangeness that causes it to waste enormous amounts of time when there are no parentheses with the commands. For example, this script:

Telecide
Decimate

…will run much slower than this one:

Telecide()
Decimate()

If you doubt this, try it both ways and see. It is critical, therefore, to always include at least one parameter or the set of empty parentheses. That is why the scenarios below all are coded that way.

Use Fast Recompress If Possible  If you are serving into VirtualDub for transcoding, and you don't need to do any filtering or other processing in VirtualDub, then use VirtualDub's Fast Recompress mode.

Disable Frame Displays  When sending Decomb output to VirtualDub (and similar applications), disable the display of the input and output frames during processing. This will noticeably decrease processing time.


Typical Scenarios

These examples are intended only to illustrate the main features of Decomb. Refer to the User Manual for detailed procedures for determining the correct settings to apply, as best results are achieved with careful tweaking of parameters.

Simple Deinterlacing  If you have some nonfilm (interlaced) source, you simply deinterlace it as follows:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("nonfilm.avi")
  FieldDeinterlace()

Progressive Frame Recovery  If you have telecined film (progressive) source and want to recover the progressive frames but not change the frame rate by decimating, you proceed as follows:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("film.avi")
  Telecide(order=1)

The order parameter must be set to correctly specify the field order of the clip. Note that here Telecide does postprocessing of the recovered frames to clean up any combed frames that might have come through the field-matching process (see "Notes on Field Matching" below).

You can use the show option, or the debug option in conjunction with the DebugView utility, to see the metrics and decisions that Telecide generates. This will assist you in tweaking the parameters.

Inverse Telecine (IVTC)  If you want to do the same thing but decimate the result to remove duplicated frames (which amounts to performing an inverse telecine [IVTC] operation), you proceed as follows [NTSC 3:2 uses Decimate(cycle=5)]:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("film.avi")
  Telecide(order=1)
  Decimate(cycle=5)

Disabling Postprocessing  If your telecined source material is very clean, you may want to disable postprocessing to reduce processing time. Proceed as follows:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("mixed.avi")
  Telecide(order=1,post=0)
  Decimate(cycle=5)

Here the third parameter, post, is set to 0 to disable postprocessing.

Inverse 3:2 Telecine with Pattern Guidance  If your telecined source material is NTSC 3:2 pulldown, you can enable pattern guidance, which can make the field matching more accurate for some clips. Proceed as follows:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("mixed.avi")
  Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
  Decimate(cycle=5)

Refer to the syntax description for Telecide() below for more details.

Processing Hybrid Material  If you have a clip that contains both 3:2 pulldown (film) and pure video, you can do a good job with it like this:

  LoadPlugin("decomb.dll")
  AVISource("hybrid.avi")
  Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
  Decimate(mode=3,threshold=2.0)

Refer to APPENDIX B for further details on handling hybrid material.


Notes on Field Matching

Telecide normally does an excellent job at recovering progressive frames by field matching. There are four known source stream conditions that can cause Telecide to output frames with combing:


General Function Syntax

The Decomb functions use named parameters. That means you do not have to worry about the ordering of parameters. You can simply refer to them by name and put them in any order in the list of parameters. If you omit a parameter it takes its default value. For example, if you want to run Telecide with order tff, postprocessing, and with debug enabled, you can simply say:

Telecide(order=1,post=2,debug=true)

Any combination and order of named parameters is allowed. Remember, however, that you should always include empty parentheses if you are not specifying any parameters.


Customizing Default Parameter Values

If you do not like the defaults as documented below, you can set your own standard defaults. To override the defaults, create defaults files as required in the Avisynth plugins directory. For example, to set the default post=4 for Telecide(), make a file called Telecide.def and put this line in it:

post=4

You can list as many parameter assignments as you like, one per line. Those not specified assume the default values documented below. Of course, you can always override the defaults in your scripts when you invoke the functions. NOTE: The lines in the defaults file must not contain any spaces or tabs.


Overriding Decomb Decisions

On occasion you may have close to a perfect encode except for a few frames that Decomb decides wrong about. In such cases you can use Decomb's manual override functionality. This is an advanced feature that should be used only by experts who need the highest possible quality encodes.

Overriding Telecide() For example, suppose we find that frame 100 is not being field-matched correctly. We inspect Telecide()'s debug output and find that it is matching to the previous frame ("[using p]"). We want to try forcing a match to current and next to see if a correct match can be found (refer to APPENDIX A for an explanation of the terminology). First, we make a file in the same directory as the script file called "tango.tel" (you can use any filename). Then we place this line in the file:

100 c

This declares that frame 100 is to be matched to current (use "p" for previous frame and "n" for next).

Now we direct Telecide to use this overrides file:

Telecide(ovr="tango.tel")

Now process the script as usual; the specified override to current will be used. If this match fails we can try replacing "c" with "n" to try next.

A frame range can also be used, such as:

100,500 c

We can add additional lines defining any other overrides as required. Note that the frame numbers must be in ascending order (from lowest to highest).

You can also specify full patterns for your matching in the Telecide overrides file. For example, suppose you wanted to force a pattern of ncccn for frames 100 through 185. Your overrides file line would be:

100,185 ncccn

You can put as many specifiers in the pattern as you like. For example, this would be legal too:

100,185 nc

The specified pattern will be repeated beginning at the starting frame and ending at the ending frame of the range.

This capability allows for flexible and convenient manual control of field matching. You can do your whole film manually if you like!

Telecide()'s postprocessing decisions can also be overridden. To force a frame to be considered combed, use a line with a '+' like one of these:

100 +
100,500 +

To force a frame to be considered NOT combed, use lines like this:

100 -
100,500 -

You can set different vthresh values for different parts of your clip. For example, to set vthresh to 25 for frames 200 through 500, use:

200,500 v 25

Note that the 'v' override requires a frame range. To specify a single frame, set both the starting and ending frames of the range to the desired frame number.

You can specify the matching mode (back=0/1/2) for a frame or range of frames:

100 b 2
200,500 b 1

The first line above enables triple matching for frame 100. The second line enables combing-driven backward matching for frames 200 through 500.

Lines for overriding field matching and for overriding postprocessing can be used together in the same overrides file as long as the ascending frame number requirement is met.

Overriding FieldDeinterlace() FieldDeinterlace() supports the '+' and '-' overrides as described for Telecide(). Of course, field matching overrides do not apply and should not be used. You might want to call the overrides file "tango.fd".

Overriding Decimate() For Decimate(), we do things the same way but we use lines of the following form, where the numbers are frame numbers of the clip entering Decimate() that will be forced to be decimated:

150
175

In the above example, frames 150 and 175 will be force decimated. Again, an appropriate name for the overrides file would be "tango.dec".


Detailed Function Syntax

Following is the syntax for the Decomb functions (replace parameter_list with your comma-separated list of named parameters):


Telecide(parameter_list)

Commonly used parameters

order (0-1, default none!) defines the field order of the clip. It is very important to set this correctly. The User Manual specifies a reliable procedure for doing so. Use order=0 for bottom field first (bff). Use order=1 for top field first (tff). You must specify order; Decomb throws an exception if you omit this parameter.

guide (0-3, default 0) can be used to improve field matching when the source clip is known to be PAL or NTSC telecined material. To disable this option (blind field matching), set guide=0. For NTSC 24fps->30fps telecine guidance, set guide=1. For simple PAL guidance (tries to maintain lock to the field phase), set guide=2. For NTSC 25fps->30fps telecine guidance, set guide=3.

When this option is enabled, Telecide() can overrule a field match decision and use a predicted match based on the recent clip past and future. The gthresh parameter (below) is used to define how small a discrepancy between the predicted and calculated field matches is required to accept and use the prediction. Do not enable this option unless you know that the source clip corresponds to the selected guidance mode. If in doubt, leave guide=0.

Note that this feature uses Avisynth random frame access, so it works fine when the user uses random timeline navigation.

gthresh (0.0-100.0, default 10.0) defines how large a discrepancy (in percent) between the predicted and calculated field matches is required to reset the pattern. Use the show option, if required, to appropriately tweak this threshold. The show and/or debug output will indicate which matches have been overridden. Overridden matches are denoted with an asterisk, e.g., "in-pattern*".

Do not set gthresh too high, as it can create bad matches. Anything over about 10-15 is starting to get dangerous.

post (0-5, default 2) controls whether and how Telecide performs postprocessing to clean up frames that come through the field-matching still combed:

vthresh (0.0-255.0, default 50.0) sets the combed frame detection threshold for the postprocessing. You may want to increase this value if too many good frames are being deinterlaced, or reduce it if some combed frames are not getting caught. The default is a reasonable general purpose value. Note that this threshold determines whether a frame is considered combed and needs to be deinterlaced; it is not the threshold you might be familiar with in Smart Deinterlacer. That threshold is determined by dthresh (below); it is the threshold for deinterlacing the frames detected as combed.

dthresh (0.0-255.0, default 7.0) sets the threshold for deinterlacing frames detected as combed. Note that this threshold is the threshold you might be familiar with in Smart Deinterlacer.

blend (true/false, default false) enables blending instead of interpolating in combed areas. Interpolating is faster.

show (true/false, default false) enables metrics to be displayed on the frame to assist with tweaking of thresholds. Also displays the software version.

Advanced parameters

chroma (true/false, default true) determines whether chroma combing is included in the decision made during postprocessing as to whether a frame is combed or not. If chroma=true, then chroma combing is included, otherwise it is not included. Note that chroma is always deinterlaced; this parameter affects only the decision about whether a frame is combed. It is useful for clips which have a large amount of luma/chroma interference, as might result from a poor comb filter. The interference can cause frames that are not combed to be detected as combed when chroma=true. By setting chroma=false, the effect of the interference can be eliminated.

back (0-2, default 0) selects the matching mode. When back=0, the backward match is never tested. This means that at bad edit cuts, a progressive frame may not be found and the resulting frame must be deinterlaced by postprocessing. When back=1, if a frame is still combed after field matching (according to a test against 'bthresh' -- see below), then the backward match is tried. This requires post > 0 and may allow a good progressive frame to be found at bad edit cuts. When back=2, the backward match is always considered. Some clips, especially those with a lot of blended fields, may be handled better with back=2, which tests for matching with the previous, current, and next frames. But use it with caution, because it can make some clips jerky.

bthresh (0.0-255.0, default 50) sets the combing detection threshold for conditional backward matching (back=1). The backward match will be considered if the candidate match has combing greater than 'bthresh'. Typically you set a high 'vthresh' to catch stray combed frames, together with a lower 'bthresh' to catch bad edits.

nt (integer, default 10) defines the noise tolerance threshold. It should usually not be necessary to adjust this parameter. If you have a noisy capture and are experiencing matching failures, however, you might usefully try increasing it.

y0 and y1 (integer, default 0) define an exclusion band for the field matching. If y0 is not equal to y1 this feature is enabled. Rows in the image between lines y0 and y1 (inclusive) are excluded from consideration when the field matching is decided. This feature is typically used to ignore subtitling, which might otherwise throw off the matching. y0 and y1 must both be positive integers and y0 must be less than or equal to y1; if this is violated an exception will be thrown.

hints (true/false, default true) enables Telecide() to pass hints to Decimate(). Decimate uses these hints to optimize its behavior in modes 1 and 3.

ovr (string, default "") enables specification of an overrides file (see the section above called "Overriding Decomb Decisions"). The file must be in the same directory as the script file (the Avisynth current directory) and the filename must be enclosed in quotation marks, e.g., ovr="tango.tel".

debug (true/false, default false) enables logging/debugging information about the filter's decisions to be printed via OutputDebugString(). A utility called DebugView is available for catching these strings.


FieldDeinterlace(parameter_list)

full (true/false, default true) chooses whether to process all frames or just the frames that are detected as combed. Use full=true to process all frames.

threshold (0-255, default 20) sets the combed frame detection threshold. When running with full=false, you may want to increase this value if too many good frames are being deinterlaced, or reduce it if small combed areas are not getting caught. The default is a good general purpose value. Note that this threshold determines whether a frame is considered combed and needs to be deinterlaced; it is not the threshold you might be familiar with in Smart Deinterlacer. That threshold is determined by dthreshold (below); it is the threshold for deinterlacing the frames detected as combed. When full=true, threshold is ignored, but dthreshold remains functional.

dthreshold (0-255, default 7) sets the threshold for deinterlacing frames detected as combed. Note that this threshold is the threshold you might be familiar with in Smart Deinterlacer.

blend (true/false, default true) enables blending instead of interpolating in combed areas.

map (true/false, default false) enables display of the combing detection map (motion map). If full=true, the map is shown for all frames. If full=false, the map is shown only for frames detected as combed; non-combed frames are displayed normally. The map shows combed areas as bright cyan; non-combed areas are copied from the source frame and blended with gray.

chroma (true/false, default false) determines whether chroma combing is included in the decision made during postprocessing as to whether a frame is combed or not. If chroma=true, then chroma combing is included, otherwise it is not included. Note that chroma is always deinterlaced; this parameter affects only the decision about whether a frame is combed. It is useful for clips which have a large amount of luma/chroma interference, as might result from a poor comb filter. The interference can cause frames that are not combed to be detected as combed when chroma=true. By setting chroma=false, the effect of the interference can be eliminated. This option has no effect when full=true because all frames are considered combed.

ovr (string, default "") enables specification of an overrides file (see the section above called "Overriding Decomb Decisions"). The file must be in the same directory as the script file (the Avisynth current directory) and the filename must be enclosed in quotation marks, e.g., ovr="tango.fd".

show (true/false, default false) enables metrics to be displayed on the frame to assist with tweaking of thresholds. Also displays the software version.

debug is the same as described for Telecide.


Decimate(parameter_list)

cycle (2-25, default 5) selects the decimation ratio, that is, decimate 1 frame in every cycle frames.

mode (0-3, default 0) determines how Decimate() deals with the extra frame in the cycle.

If mode=0, Decimate discards the frame in the cycle determined to be most similar to its predecessor.

If mode=1, instead of discarding the most similar frame, Decimate() will either replace it with a frame interpolated between the current frame (usually a duplicate of the preceding frame) and the following frame, or it will pass the frame through as is. The choice between these two depends on two things: 1) whether the cycle of frames is from 3:2 pulldown material or from pure video, and 2) the threshold parameter setting and on how different the frame is from its preceding frame (see below). The first requires guide=1 for Telecide (to declare the pulldown pattern).

Decimate(mode=1) is useful for hybrid clips having mostly video. It allows you to leave the frame rate at video rates (to get smooth video sequences) but also to ameliorate the effect of duplicate frames that are emitted by Telecide() for film sequences (frames that are normally removed with mode=0).

Refer to APPENDIX B for more details and a guide to processing hybrid material.

If mode=2, Decimate() deletes a frame from the longest run of duplicates. This mode is the most reliable with anime and other material where the motion may occur only in every second, third, or fourth (etc.) frames. If you use mode=0 on such clips, there is a danger that incorrect decimation may occur, causing jerkiness. Clips such as those described usually derive from 8fps or 12fps animation, as well as normal 24fps animation where slow motion results in repeated duplicates. Mode=2 is able to delete the correct duplicates in all these cases.

If mode=3, instead of discarding the most similar frame, Decimate() will apply different decimation strategies for 3:2 pulldown material (film) and for pure video (nonfilm) cycles. Film cycles are decimated in the normal way. Nonfilm cycles are decimated by applying a frame blending decimation of the cycle from 5 frames to 4 frames. The resulting frame rate is the film rate (decimated by 1/5).

There are two factors that affect the decision about how to decimate: 1) whether the cycle of frames is from 3:2 pulldown material or from pure video, and 2) the threshold parameter setting and on the difference metric for the most similar frame. The first requires guide=1 for Telecide (to declare the pulldown pattern).

Decimate(mode=3) is useful for hybrid clips having mostly film. It allows you to decimate the clip to film rates and treat the film normally while doing a blend decimation of video sequences to retain their smoothness.

Refer to APPENDIX B for more details and a guide to processing hybrid material.

threshold (decimal, default 0.0) When mode=1, frames determined to be the most similar to their preceding frame can be treated in two possible ways: 1) they can be blended as described above, or 2) they can be passed through if the threshold parameter is non-zero and the difference metric exceeds the threshold. By setting an appropriate threshold, you can have duplicates get blended while passing through frames that have new content, i.e., which differ significantly from the previous frame. This allows hybrid film/nonfilm clips to be dealt with intelligently: the film portions will have blends and the nonfilm portions will not. The threshold parameter has no effect when mode=0. Use show=true (or debug=true in conjunction with the DebugView utility) to view the difference metrics and thereby determine an appropriate threshold for your clip.

the threshold parameter also affects mode=3 in a similar way. Refere to APPENDIX B for details.

threshold2 (decimal, default 3.0) When mode=2, Decimate() deletes a frame from the longest run of duplicates as described above. The threshold2 parameter controls how close two frames must be to be considered duplicates. If threshold2 is raised, a larger frame difference is tolerated while still declaring them as duplicates. The default setting works well for most clips. Use show=true (or debug=true in conjunction with the DebugView utility) to view the difference metrics and thereby determine an appropriate threshold for your clip.

quality (0-3, default 2) This option allows the user to trade off quality of difference detection against speed. Following are the possibilities:

ovr (string, default "") enables specification of an overrides file (see the section above called "Overriding Decomb Decisions"). The file must be in the same directory as the script file (the Avisynth current directory) and the filename must be enclosed in quotation marks, e.g., ovr="tango.dec".

show (true/false, default false) enables metrics to be displayed on the frame to assist with tweaking of thresholds. Also displays the software version.

debug (true/false, default false) enables logging/debugging information about the filter's decisions to be printed via OutputDebugString(). A utility called DebugView is available for catching these strings. The information displayed is the same as shown by the show option above.


IsCombed(parameter_list)

This utility filter is designed for use within ConditionalFilter(). It returns a boolean to indicate whether a frame is combed (interlaced).

threshold (0-255, default 20) sets the amount of combing required to declare a frame combed. It is analogous to the threshold parameter of FieldDeinterlace(). You may have to tweak this for best performance with your specific material.


APPENDIX A. Telecide() Theory of Operation

Here's what Telecide does by default. When it receives a request for a frame it gets access to the next frame and the requested one (called the current frame). Here is what he sees (where N=next, C=current, t=top field, b=bottom field):

Ct Nt
Cb Nb

Telecide makes 2 combinations of frames from the available fields. Here are the combinations:

Nt
Cb

Ct
Cb

Now both of these frames are checked for combing. The least combed frame is the output frame (assuming no pattern guidance). It is that simple.

If pattern guidance is enabled, the decision described above can be overridden by a predicted match based on the perceived pattern surrounding the current frame. The prediction is ignored if the difference between the matches is too large, as that implies a possible change of phase of the pattern, to which Telecide() should re-sync.

Consider now a cycle of frames from a 3:2 pulldown sequence (top field first):

a a b c d
a b c c d

Telecide will produce matched output frames as follows:

a b c c d
a b c c d

It can be seen that a duplicate frame has been produced. Decimate removes the duplicate frame by finding and removing the frame most similar to its predecessor. It is easy to see now why Telecide followed by Decimate produces an inverse 3:2 telecine (IVTC) function.


APPENDIX B. Dealing with Hybrid Clips

Most real-world clips in NTSC environments are mixtures of 3:2 pulldown material (film) and pure video (nonfilm) material. This presents a difficulty for encoding because our formats require a specification of frame rate as either 29.97fps or 23.976fps. If we choose the video rate, the video sequences will be OK, but the film sequences will not be decimated and will emit duplicates, appearing jumpy.

On the other hand, if we choose the film rate, the film sequences will be OK, but the video sequences will be decimated, appearing jumpy.

Decomb provides two special decimation modes to better handle hybrid clips.

Mostly Film Clips (mode=3)

Let's first consider the case where the clip is mostly film. In this case, we want to decimate the film portions normally so they will be smooth. For the nonfilm portions, we want to reduce their frame rate by blend decimating each cycle of frames from 5 frames to 4 frames. Video sequences so rendered appear smoother than when they are decimated as film.

Here is a typical script to enable this mode of operation:

Telecide(guide=1)
Decimate(mode=3,threshold=1.0)

There are 2 factors that enable Decimate to treat the film and nonfilm portions appropriately. First, when Telecide declares guide=1, it is able to pass information to Decimate about which frames are derived from film and which from video. For this mechanism to work, Decimate must immediately follow Telecide. Clearly, the better job you do with pattern locking in Telecide (by tweaking parameters as required), the better job Decimate can do.

The second factor is the threshold. If a cycle of frames is seen that does not have a duplicate, then the cycle is treated as video. The threshold determines what percentage of frame difference is considered to be a duplicate. Note that threshold=0 disables the second factor.

Mostly Video Clips (mode=1)

Now let's consider the case where the clip is mostly video. In this case, we want avoid decimating the video portions be smooth. For the film portions, we want to leave them at the video rate but change the duplicated frame into a frame blend so it is not so obvious.

Here is a typical script to enable this mode of operation:

Telecide(guide=1)
Decimate(mode=1,threshold=1.0)

There are 2 factors that enable Decimate to treat the film and nonfilm portions appropriately. First, when Telecide declares guide=1, it is able to pass information to Decimate about which frames are derived from film and which from video. For this mechanism to work, Decimate must immediately follow Telecide. Clearly, the better job you do with pattern locking in Telecide (by tweaking parameters as required), the better job Decimate can do.

The second factor is the threshold. If a cycle of frames is seen that does not have a duplicate, then the cycle is treated as video. The threshold determines what percentage of frame difference is considered to be a duplicate. Note that threshold=0 disables the second factor.
