Hi.. I love the new filter TomsMoComp, but i try to find the best and i have noticed this problem with the SearchEffort

The first picture is with TomsMoComp(1,0,1)
quot;0 being practically just a smarter bobquot; (in readme.txt)

The second picture is with TomsMoComp(1,30,1)

marioquevil...hEffort_30.jpglook the edge of object (rooftop), the edge is not clean
same result with SearchEffort 15,20,25 etc...

why i have best resultat with SearchEffort quot;0quot;

Thx for you help!
I can't see the image but I'll bet I can guess. There seem to be increasing artifacts at SE levels gt; 5 so I recommend SE=5 for almost all purposes in Avisynth.

That is especially true I think for noisy pictures and maybe those with video text overlays.

Did you try SAVE AS.. for downloading picture

and yes my source is noisy (Cable TV) and with SearchEffort 5 my probleme is not 100% resolved because I can see little artifact on edge etc.. The best result is with quot;0quot;..

But what do you mean about quot;smarter bobquot;

Thx again

quot;smarter bobquot;..

Pardon my sloppy terminology there. In DScaler we've somewhat gotten into the habit of referring to any deinterlace method that relies only on a single field as a quot;bobquot; method, even if it does more than line double and doesn't even bob up and down much.

At SE=0 TomsMoComp uses an edge based line averaging technique to try to preserve diagonal lines somewhat, avoiding the stair step jaggies sometimes seen on line doublers.

At SE=1 or above it starts to also look for useful info from the prev and next video fields.
