Topic: I don't see difference ?

Hello,
I downloaded SVP and I followed instructions of compilations (it was a pain lol).
Now, everything seems to be successful in my laptop after 2 hours spent ^^.

However, when I transcode a video (from an anime), I don't see any differences hmm
My laptop should support 60fps. I have a i3 processor, Xubuntu 18.04, no GPU.

Here is the transpiled video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1thL0kS … sp=sharing
and the original one : https://logantann.github.io/kagepro2/as … incola.mp4

Trying to disable "double frame rate for interlaced videos" don't work. I didn't found any relevant topics in the forum...

This is the log of the transcoded video :

Thanks in advance !

Re: I don't see difference ?

I'd say this is because the source quality is awful, it looks like the _real_ source was @10 fps, and in this one you have every 2nd frame duplicated and every 3rd frame - blended with the next one, like this: 1 - 1 - 1/2 - 2 - 2 - 2/3 - 3 - 3 - 3/4 - and so on
