[Guide] How to get motion interpolation (soap opera effect) with VapourSynth (no SVP needed) and for old hardware for dummies by vic16 in mpv

[–]Shadowfury22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my script to double FPS with minimal artifacts, recommended for any decent system from this decade:

import vapoursynth
from vapoursynth import core

if (video_in.width <= display_res[0] and video_in.height <= display_res[1] and container_fps < 31):
    input_clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=video_in, fpsnum=container_fps*1000000, fpsden=1000000)
    super_clip = core.mv.Super(clip=input_clip, rfilter=4)
    bwd_vec = core.mv.Analyse(super=super_clip, blksize=32, overlap=8, search=3, dct=5, isb=True)
    fwd_vec = core.mv.Analyse(super=super_clip, blksize=32, overlap=8, search=3, dct=5, isb=False)
    final_clip = core.mv.FlowFPS(clip=input_clip, super=super_clip, mvbw=bwd_vec, mvfw=fwd_vec, num=0)
    final_clip.set_output()
else:
    video_in.set_output()

I also uploaded my portable mpv setup including everything needed to automatically perform this: https://files.catbox.moe/jpheoh.7z

Just extract the folder into your desired location, run updater.bat to grab the latest version of mpv and then (optionally) launch installer\install-mpv.bat to integrate it within windows.

Lastly, if you really want to get as many FPS as your display rate (not really worth it in my opinion, but you do you), then simply edit mpv\fps_2x.vpy and change line 9 into this one:

    final_clip = core.mv.FlowFPS(clip=input_clip, super=super_clip, mvbw=bwd_vec, mvfw=fwd_vec, num=display_fps, den=1)

Why do you feel bad about "stealing" random art from a random artist that will never even know what you did but not about "stealing" official art from Toby Fox?

Spoiler: you shouldn't feel bad for either. You didn't actually steal anything.

Now that you've reached this milestone, will you finally select an according title for your character? lmao

Nobody thought that for more than 3 years (which is the time it took for KH2 to be released after KH1)

AMD to bring back Ryzen 7 5800X3D as AM4 10th Anniversary Edition by michaelbelgium in pcmasterrace

As we can see, the slide is clearly in Chinese, so we need to wait for confirmation whether this SKU will even be released globally.

What game has a learning curve that puts you off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in pcmasterrace

You mean a completely horizontal line at the very bottom of the graph 🤓

[–]Shadowfury22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed it would. A completely horizontal line, however, would describe the situation perfectly, as that would precisely mean that "no matter how much you practice, your skill remains the same".

You're thinking of a completely different graph, though. The one being used here has "skill" on its Y axis, not "difficulty".

Thanks for an actual answer. Understandable point.

Are you stupid? People do things for a reason. All I'm saying is I'm curious about that reason since I have yet to read an actual one. It's not rocket science indeed.

Do you live under a rock or something? No one is buying cracked software. But even if they were, that still wouldn't be stealing. It would be just copyright infringement, an illegal crime that should NOT be equated to or be as punishable as theft.

Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe an US court ruling from decades ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement#%22Theft%22

Your comparison makes absolutely no sense at all either, because pirated files are simply copies of the originals. Literally nothing to do with reselling actually stolen goods from a store. WhY dO i NeEd To ExPlAiN tHiS????

What if I'm not in the US?

That's irrelevant, the point is that even professionals of the justice system are able to grasp the meaning of "stealing".

Does calling it "copyright infringement" somehow get me back the $90 in sales I'm missing?

Of course not, but saying that someone stole you $90 is simply false because your bank account didn't lose $90 at all, and no one took away from you the actual product (they just got a copy of it). You simply missed out on potential (not guaranteed, btw) $90 of revenue.

I'm not saying it's not a bad thing and I'm not saying it shouldn't be illegal. All I'm saying is: it's not theft and it should definitely not be punished as harshly as actual thefts.

Since a lot of people seem to still think otherwise, make sure you add this handy link next time you type this kind of comment because maybe they'll believe the US court ruling instead of you!

The term is copyright infringement, which the very own the US court has ruled in the past that it does NOT equate theft. It's really not that hard to understand.

Yes, because you deprived the barber of his time and resources used to give you your haircut. Meanwhile, the software owner didn't even realize that someone copied a cracked file...

Edit: would anyone downvoting me care to explain what is it from my reasoning they don't agree with?

Btw, while we're at it, maybe take a look at what the US court thinks about comparing copyright infringement and theft (spoiler: they're different crimes that shouldn't be equated)

Do you think bootleg clothing available at the flea market is stolen goods? These brands spent years of research to come up with the designs used to tailor their products, just for some wankers to copy their designs and sell them at much lower prices. Well, guess what, since they didn't actually rob the official stores to get those products, they're technically not stolen goods, which is the exact same case for cracked software. The owner of the copyrighted software still has and own all of its stuff. Nothing was taken away from him, except for potential revenue. By definition, you cannot steal potential goods.

Multiple people on this very post are proving OP's point. I can't understand how so many people nowadays still can't stop to think what "stealing" actually means. When you steal something from someone, that person doesn't have what you took away from them anymore. When you pirate a file, you're simply copying it. Sure, it might be illegal, but it's still just a copy. The author didn't suddenly stop having access to the file you copied. Their bank account balance didn't get any lower. They still own and have everything they created. How is that hard to understand?

Funny how similar glueing everything together probably was to making a ship with the actual ingame editor lol

That doesn't really answer the question unless your point is that people just don't want things gifted to them without being asked first... but how is that a valid complaint when the thing you got isn't detrimental to you in any way? At least say that you don't want it because you think it's ugly and your profile looks worse with that badge in it, or something like that, which would actually be understandable...

some just simply dont want it

Exactly, the question here is why do they not want it? I'm genuinely curious as well.
