VirtualDub deinterlace filter

VirtualDub deinterlace filter, as its name suggests, is a plugin designed for the once popular VirtualDub capture and processing software. With it you can deinterlace a video file in a simple manner and enjoy a better looking image.

VirtualDub is a basic application which enables you to encode and edit a wide range of video formats that are commonly used. The application has a decent amount of years behind it and in that time it has maintained a classic look and with it, a low level of complexity.

The latter is an advantage because the application is easy to use, and consequently, VirtualDub deinterlace filter is even easier to install. As a matter of fact, you don’t actually install the plugin but merely copy it to the ‘Plugins’ folder of VirtualDub.

Once it’s located there, it can be accessed from the ‘Filters’ section and used to deinterlace the loaded video file.

Once accessed VirtualDub deinterlace filter won’t surprise you with any kind of complicated and hard to make your interface. On the contrary, it’s a very simple tool. From its main window you can choose between the ‘parity’ and ‘full mode’ methods, and that’s just about it.

Deinterlacing means to convert interlaced video material into non-interlaced form and VirtualDub deinterlace filter can help you achieve this in two ways. The plugin comes with two methods in which you can perform the process, ‘parity’ or ‘full mode’.

The first tells the filter to duplicate even lines and transforms them into odd, while in full mode it checks on pixel values and calculates the best output.

All-in-allm VirtualDub deinterlace filter might not be a top of the line product, but it is accessible to anyone and it gets the job done as well as it can.
