SmoothVideo Project - SVP

SmoothVideo Project (SVP) is a software for advanced frame rate conversion in real-time that makes video playback smooth and judder-free - the most common usage is to convert 24 fps to 60 fps on the fly. SVP is not a video player but allows almost any player supporting external video decoders to playback with motion interpolation.

The process is based on well known^[1] approach when Avisynth script is executed inside ffdshow video decoder but with SVP it can be controlled with a graphical user interface.

Technical details

SVP package consists of three base components:

• ffdshow video decoder processing video with AviSynth
• Avisynth script that calculates intermediate frames using some libraries based on MVTools 2.5. Original libraries was modified to run faster^[2] and now include GPU accelerated version based on OpenCL API so in the current SVP version almost half^[3] of total job can be done on compatible GPU.
• SVP Manager - a graphical part that controls processing parameters and supports profiles for different frame sizes.
