Why you shouldn't use Triticals TDecimate...

I need to clarify when I refer to TDecimate I'm referring to both TDecimate and VDecimate (which is a port of it to VapourSynth)

Time and time again I see people using this function to decimate for inverse-telecine purposes but I implore you to continue reading this and use an alternative decimation method.

Why? (tl;dr)

Simply put, it's far too inaccurate and it is ruining a lot of encodes.

How so?

This gist is currenctly archived.

Please refer to previous revisions if you know what to do.

The patch proposed was merged into kernel in 5.8 release, but no longer working as of linux 5.11

Building Intel pintools with Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10

Setting up the Intel pin build environment

I started with a Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation VM, version 1809, from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ Then I installed the needed tools:

Install Visual Studio Community 2019 Edition from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/, version 16.4.2. Make sure to install the Desktop development for C++ workload.

0) Optional: Solder UART0 pins

Check here for the pinout. You will also need a 1.8V level shifter.

1) Install an ARMv7 cross-compiler

Go to https://toolchains.bootlin.com
Select arch: armv7-eabihf
Select libc: glibc
Download bleeding-edge
Uncompress it (for example to /opt)

You'll need Nvidia Profile Inspector to enable these settings : http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5077-nvidia-inspector.html There should be a similar alternative for AMD, but I haven't researched it.

WORKING EXAMPLES

If you just want working values, follow the pictures below. The values are explained in more detail in the AA and AO sections. The values in the screenshots were tested for a stable 60 FPS on a GTX 1080, at 4K. Depending on your performance, you can try higher values of "Antialiasing - Setting" and "Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling".

Due to so many misinformation, false claims and confusion that goes around the web I've decided to make this quick comparison of all most known backup enabling tools, hackable vita firmwares and which one you should be using and why.
