[Deinterlace-discuss] Minor glitches and latest autocalibration changes

[yvon q. <yvo...@nm...>]

Hi there all of you

I wanted to report a few glitches originally reported by BGane in thread
http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/014510.html

"When bringing up the menu (ie by right clicking) - there is significant
flicker in the video
display while changing menu options. Is there anything that can be done
to smooth this?"

I haven't tested that lately. In my mind, it's smooth but  I guess a
small flicker could have gone by un-noticed.

"Changing "video adjustments". There are several cases where the sliders
won't move, or where
                              the cursor disappears and I can't make any
changes - including getting the video adjustment window
                              to close."

I've experienced this one. Both symptoms ; mouse pointer getting
invisible and some difficulties to move sliders from time to time.

"When changing video filters, I had a few instances where the stability
of the input signal
                              sensor went wild - switching from NTSC to
PAL, and through the chain of possible formats. All I
                              was doing was changing the filters -
nothing to do with the signal format. My workaround has been
                              to fix the format on NTSC, rather than
rely upon autosense"

The only filter I try from time to time is the noise reduction and I
haven't experienced such a thing.


Regarding auto-calibration now. Laurent did a nice addition to his code
by drawing several frames on the screen to show the various areas that
are taken into account during calibration. This is rather useful as some
test pattern, when beta testing, were putting the mess in the
autocalibration. Those frames help in centering the pattern so that the
calibration will have the correct inputs.

Definitely a good thing. The manua+auto calibr + the help page + this
"grid" feature will make a solid thing for the delivery. People won't
have the problems we had during beta testing and will profit from this
immediately.

Nice job Laurent !

PS ; full OT but the "What they say about Dscaler" page has progressed a
lot. It'll be online as soon as Daniel changes the cvs/web sync
procedure to take into account this directory.
