Deinterlace video in ffmpeg with HW: ====================================== It is possable to deinterlace video on ffmpeg with Hardware accdelleration (Intel/Linux). Do not convert videos to h265 without any setting, or else it will apply the "bob" tech which removes every other frame which looks horrable (high artifacts and very chopy video). Use setting of -vf 'deinterlace_vaapi=rate=field:auto=1' . This looks like it is simmaler to the yadif=1 tech. whitch doubbles the frame rate of the video to acomandade all interlaceing frames within a progressive video. exsample: ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i A.mkv -vf 'deinterlace_vaapi=rate=field:auto=1' -c:v hevc_vaapi -acodec flac -compression_level 8 B.mkv ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: https://superuser.com/questions/610618/double-deinterlace-with-full-motion-ffmpeg-yadif-50i-50p-60i-60p https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/VAAPI https://macilatthefront.blogspot.com/2021/05/which-deinterlacing-algorithm-is-best.html https://mltframework.org/plugins/FilterAvfilter-deinterlace_vaapi/ Date: June 8th 2021
