DoubleWeave
(clip)
If the input clip is field-based, the DoubleWeave
filter operates like
Weave, except that it produces double the number of frames: instead of
combining fields 0 and 1 into frame 0, fields 2 and 3 into frame 1, and so
on, it combines fields 0 and 1 into frame 0, fields 1 and 2 into frame 1, and
so on. It does not change the frame rate or frame count.
If the input clip is frame-based, this filter acts just as though you'd separated it into fields with SeparateFields first, only faster!
Weave is actually just a shorthand for DoubleWeave
followed by
SelectEven.
Most likely you will want to use a filter like SelectOdd or Pulldown after using this filter, unless you really want a 50fps or 60fps video. It may seem inefficient to interlace every pair of fields only to immediately throw away half of the resulting frames. But actually, because Avisynth only generates frames on demand, frames that are not needed will never be generated in the first place.
If you're processing field-based video, like video-camera footage, you
probably won't need this filter. But if you're processing NTSC video
converted from film and you plan to use the Pulldown
filter, you need to
use DoubleWeave
first. See the Pulldown
filter for an explanation.
If you're processing PAL video converted from film, you don't need
Pulldown
, but you might want to use DoubleWeave
in the following
situation:
# Duplicate the functionality of the VirtualDub "PAL deinterlace" filter
DoubleWeave
SelectOdd
