Topic: Modifying options for Motion vectors grid

Hi: When I set Motion vectors grid to "24px. Large 2" I get practically no artifacts. At "16px. Average 0" I start to get noticeable artifacts but better smoothing of course.

How do I set up something like "20px. Average 0"  ?

Presumably I go to the Javascript file called "generate" and add a new entry to the following:

    case 32: analyse.block.w=32; analyse.block.overlap=0; break;
    case 28: analyse.block.w=32; analyse.block.overlap=1; break;
    case 24: analyse.block.w=32; break;
    case 16: analyse.block.overlap=0; break;
    case 14: analyse.block.overlap=1; break;
    case 12: break;
    case 8: analyse.block.w=8; analyse.block.overlap=0; break;
    case 7: analyse.block.w=8; analyse.block.overlap = profile.mv_refine ? 0:1; break;
    case 6: analyse.block.w=8; break;

Re: Modifying options for Motion vectors grid

For now there is no way to point 20px Motion vector grid.
You can try non square blocks. 

analyse.block.w=32; analyse.block.h=16; break;

It will give you grid with 24px in horizontal direction and 12px in vertical direction.

Re: Modifying options for Motion vectors grid

Please don't do it in generate.js!
You have override.js for this PLUS a user defined options.

Re: Modifying options for Motion vectors grid

Hi: I already applied the changes to generate.js and it works fine. But I am happy to undo the changes.

However, how do I apply the modified settings in override.js ?

Somewhere in here?

/***** SVAnalyse options *****/

//analyse.vectors            = 3;
//analyse.block.w            = 16;
//analyse.block.h            = 16;
//analyse.block.overlap    = 2;

/***** SVAnalyse options *****/

//analyse.vectors            = 3;
//analyse.block.w            = 16;
//analyse.block.h            = 16;
//analyse.block.overlap    = 2;

Yup, block.w controls how big the blocks are horizontally, and block.h controls how 'high' the blocks are vertically.
Also, you have to remove the '//' at the start of each line you wish to have an effect (they are commented out).
Also, set overlap = 3, it will give you much less artifacts.

If you are interested, these are the settings that work really good for me, however I strongly favor smoothness over artifacts and you will need a reasonably powerful PC to use them exactly as-is:

/***** SVSuper options *****/

levels.pel                = 3;

Re: Modifying options for Motion vectors grid

Hi All,

I tried Xenonite settings and I was getting an error for having levels.pel=3. I noticed that the SVPflow wiki states you cannot set this value to 3. How was he able to do that? I had to change it to 2 or 1 to get ir running.

Also, I was getting an error that said 'cubic' not supported by CPU until I changed levels.gpu to 1 from 0 in his config.

I'm running SVP 3.17 on a i7-6700k with 16GB RAM. With his settings altered for the two changes above, I cannot get video to play smoothly at 60fps. Also, MPC-HC keeps crashing after a few seconds of the video (crashes faster with very high bitrate video). It still crashes even after applying the 4GB patch to the 32-bit executable.

If I revert backto the original override.js file from the SVP Core install, everything seems to run smoothly at 60fps but I still get crashes.

FYI, I used Xenonite's instructions here when installing all the necessary software: https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopi … 862#p63862

Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
