What exactly "does not work" means? Do you mean the output frame is the same as if QTGMC had no effect? Or is there any error message? If so, you should post it as well. The plugins I use mostly are the official ones, except nnedi3 and eedi3 are native VapourSynth plugin. I didn't use Vit's modified version, so no idea if it works with VapourSynth.

EDIT: Did you try replacing this new vsvfw.dll? Though it maybe have nothing to do with your problem.

If in doubt, just try encoding a small range of your video and see whether the encoding could finish, and whether the frames of the encoded file has problems or not.

No- Vdub shows first frame and than does nothing- CPU stays at 0. I can't jump into any frame etc- just hangs.
I will try unmodified version, see if it changes anything. Looks like ultrafast uses different plugins than all others.

I found out how to increase WinXP's memory limit to 3GB. That helps to make the process to go longer, but it still crashes after using over 2.2 GB of memory. How much memory does QTGMC need anyway?

Also I tried to use Vapoursynth's set_max_cache_size() but couldn't figure out how to use it. So then I tried using vs.Core(threads=2) to see if it would use less memory instead of utilizing all 4 CPU cores. The program hangs and doesn't do anything. Ditto with threads=1. The lowest I can go is threads=3, and even that reaches to 2.2gb and crashes. I tried the vsvfw.dll too. No luck.

I tried Vdub, x264, and FFPlay. Same results on all.

I'm wondering if I have a bad version of a plugin. Is there a way to monitor which plugin is utlizing the most memory?

There's a bug in vs that makes the memory limit 1024 times bigger than it should be meaning that the default max is 1TB. As a temporary workaround try setting the max cache size to 1. Will be fixed in the next release which should be out sometime next week.

I haven't been able to figure out how to do set_max_cache_size().

If I do it this way

Code:
import vapoursynth as vs
import sys
import havsfunc

core = vs.Core().set_max_cache_size(1)
haf = havsfunc.HAvsFunc(core)
#plugins#
I get a "avisynth open failure; Python exception. 'int' object has no attribute 'avs'" error.

I'm not sure exactly where it's supposed to go.

I guess I'll wait until next week for the new release.

Thanks Are. No error messages this time, but it's still exhibiting the same behavior. Looks like I'll just have to wait til the next release to see if the situation improves.

The download link is broken. If you have trouble finding reliable hosting I can put a copy of the scripts on my website.

Updated r4.
Added 'dct' argument to SMDegrain to set the equivalent argument of MAnalyse.
Added FFT3dGPU to QTGMC as another Denoiser to NoiseProcess. Since FFT3dGPU doesn't support bt=5, the maximum of NoiseTR is restricted to 1.
Renamed 'DftThreads' of QTGMC to 'DenoiseThreads'. The threads of FFT3DFilter is not set in the original version. Now 'DenoiseThreads' sets the threads of both dfttest and FFT3DFilter.
Added nnedi3_rpow2 function.
Replaced HQDering function with HQDering mod(only 8-bit processing).
Added ivtc_txt60mc function.
Added InterFrame function.
Replaced some filters with the native VapourSynth plugins if possible.
Minor bug fixes.

For ivtc_txt60mc there is a problem. MFlowInter seems to have problem running in VapourSynth when pel=2. So you have to set draft=True in ivtc_txt60mc to let it use pel=1 right now.

For InterFrame there is a bigger problem. It's a pity that SVPflow runs about 10x slower in VapourSynth than it runs in AviSynth. Mostly because of the "Avisynth Compat: requested frame XXX not prefetched, using slow method that may deadlock" issue I guess.

Ah...I was just about to update the new version so I deleted the old file.

I'll have a look at the svpflow stuff later. I think I simply needed to add it properly to the avisynth prefetch lists.

Yep- runs way slower than avs and uses almost 1 core only resources.

on nnedi3_rpow2, you should use only std.Transpose() instead of your TurnLeft/Right functions. FlipHorizontal and FlipVertical are useless in this case.

Code:
yexpr = 'x 128 - y 128 - * 0 < 128 x 128 - abs y 128 - abs < x y ? ?'
I suspect that Lut2 is faster than Expr in the case of such a complicated expression.

and, since warpsharp package is not compatible with VS, you can't use UnsharpMask().

The warpsharp package has been fixed since Chikuzen pointed it out and will work in r19 when that's done.

That's one confusing expression. What does it look like in readable form anyway?

a benchmark result

Code:
import vapoursynth as vs
import sys

def expr(x, y):
    if (x - 128) * (y - 128) < 0: return 128
    if abs(x - 128) < abs(y - 128): return x
    return y

def get_lut():
    lut = []
    for y in range(256):
        for x in range(256):
            lut.append(expr(x, y))
    return lut

core = vs.Core(threads=1)
core.std.LoadPlugin('vsrawsource.dll')
c0 = core.raws.Source('720p50_mobcal.y4m')
c0 = core.std.Loop(core.std.ShufflePlanes(c0, 0, vs.GRAY), 4) #2016(504x4) frames

The most complicated expression in the script is probably the one used by LSFmod's Smode=5.
Code:
'x y = x x x y - abs 16 / log 1 4 / * exp 16 * 0.75 * x y - dup abs / * x y - dup * 16 dup * 4 + * x y - dup * 4 + 16 dup * * / * 1 48 0 = 0 16 48 / dup * dup * ? + 1 48 0 = 0 x y - abs 48 / dup * dup * ? + / * + ?'
# Infix notation: (x==y) ? x : (x+(((((((abs(x-y)/16)^(1/4))*16)*0.75)*((x-y)/abs(x-y)))*((((x-y)^2)*((16^2)+4))/((((x-y)^2)+4)*(16^2))))*((1+((48==0) ? 0 : ((16/48)^4)))/(1+((48==0) ? 0 : ((abs(x-y)/48)^4))))))
Then the difference is much significant.
Code:
import vapoursynth as vs
import sys

def get_lut():
    lut = []
    for y in range(256):
        for x in range(256):
            if x==y:
                lut.append(x)
            else:
                lut.append(max(min(round(x+(((((((abs(x-y)/16)**(1/4))*16)*0.75)*((x-y)/abs(x-y)))*((((x-y)**2)*((16**2)+4))/((((x-y)**2)+4)*(16**2))))*((1+(0 if 48==0 else (16/48)**4))/(1+(0 if 48==0 else (abs(x-y)/48)**4))))), 255), 0))
    return lut

core = vs.Core()
core.avs.LoadPlugin(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecodeNV.dll')
core.std.LoadPlugin(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\VapourSynth\filters\genericfilters.dll')
clip = core.std.Trim(core.avs.DGSource(r'a 1080p24 video.dgi'), 0, 4999)
blur = core.generic.Blur(clip, planes=0)

clip = core.std.Expr([clip, blur], ['x y = x x x y - abs 16 / log 1 4 / * exp 16 * 0.75 * x y - dup abs / * x y - dup * 16 dup * 4 + * x y - dup * 4 + 16 dup * * / * 1 48 0 = 0 16 48 / dup * dup * ? + 1 48 0 = 0 x y - abs 48 / dup * dup * ? + / * + ?', ''])
#clip = core.std.Lut2([clip, blur], lut=get_lut(), planes=0)

clip.output(sys.stdout)

I suspect you can speed it up a bit. Not that it really matters when a lut is so much faster...

For example "16 dup *" is a constant expression and there are several more constants recalculated every time. You can also rewrite X ^ (1/4) as sqrt(sqrt(X)) which probably is a lot faster than using exp and log.

Code:
'x y = x x x y - abs 16 / log 1 4 / * exp 16 * 0.75 * x y - dup abs / * x y - dup * 16 dup * 4 + * x y - dup * 4 + 16 dup * * / * 1 48 0 = 0 16 48 / dup * dup * ? + 1 48 0 = 0 x y - abs 48 / dup * dup * ? + / * + ?'
# Infix notation: (x==y) ? x : (x+(((((((abs(x-y)/16)^(1/4))*16)*0.75)*((x-y)/abs(x-y)))*((((x-y)^2)*((16^2)+4))/((((x-y)^2)+4)*(16^2))))*((1+((48==0) ? 0 : ((16/48)^4)))/(1+((48==0) ? 0 : ((abs(x-y)/48)^4))))))
is this expression really working ?

also, "... (1+((48==0)) ? 0 : ((16/48))^4)"
why you don't write just "1.012346"

In the original expression some constants are parameters, and are replaced with the function's argument values, for example (1/4) is one of it, so can't simply using sqrt(sqrt(X)) if someone specified (1/3) or so. I replaced all parameters with the default values for convenience here. That's why you wonder why I don't write values which could be calculated beforehand like (1+((48==0) ? 0 : ((16/48)^4))).

another benchmark (Since HolyWu's script did not work on my box, I rewrote it by myself. )
Code:
import vapoursynth as vs
import sys

core = vs.Core(threads=1)
core.std.LoadPlugin('vsrawsource.dll')
core.std.LoadPlugin('genericfilters.dll')

def func(x, y, strength, szrp, spwr, sdmplo, sdmphi):
    if x == y:
        return x
    diff = x - y
    diff2 = diff * diff
    tmp0 = ((abs(diff)/szrp)**(1 / szrp))*szrp*strength * (diff/abs(diff))
    tmp1 = szrp ** 2 + sdmplo
    tmp2 = szrp ** 2
    tmp3 = 1 + ((szrp/sdmphi) ** 4 if (sdmphi != 0) else 0)
    tmp4 = 1 + (abs(diff)/sdmphi ** 4 if (sdmphi != 0) else 0)
    tmp3 /= tmp4
    ret = x + tmp0 * ((diff2 * tmp1) / ((diff2 + sdmplo) * tmp2)) * tmp3
    return min(255, max(0, int(round(ret))))

def get_lut(strength, szrp, spwr, sdmplo, sdmphi):
    lut = []
    for y in range(256):
        for x in range(256):
            lut.append(func(x, y, strength, szrp, spwr, sdmplo, sdmphi))
    return lut

c0 = core.raws.Source('720p50_mobcal.y4m')
c0 = core.std.ShufflePlanes(c0, 0, vs.GRAY)
c1 = core.generic.Blur(c0)

strength, szrp, spwr, sdmplo, sdmphi = 0.75, 16, 4, 4, 0

expr = ('x y = x x x y - abs {Szrp} / log 1 {Spwr} / * exp {Szrp} * {Str} * x y - '
        'dup abs / * x y - dup * {Szrp} dup * {SdmpLo} + * x y - dup * {SdmpLo} + '
        '{Szrp} dup * * / * 1 {SdmpHi} 0 = 0 {Szrp} {SdmpHi} / dup * dup * ? + 1 '
        '{SdmpHi} 0 = 0 x y - abs {SdmpHi} / dup * dup * ? + / * + ?')
expr = expr.format(Szrp=szrp, Spwr=spwr, Str=strength, SdmpLo=sdmplo, SdmpHi=sdmphi)
clip = core.std.Expr([c0, c1], [expr])
#clip = core.std.Lut2([c0, c1], get_lut(strength, szrp, spwr, sdmplo, sdmphi), planes=0)

clip.output(sys.stdout)
the result is
Quote:
std.Expr 0m20.436s
std.Lut2 0m06.396s
Why was a different result brought?
Probably, HolyWo would use anime as a sample.
Since x and y become equal in many cases in the case of anime, almost part of expression does not evaluate and finishes with the head of them(if x == y then return x).
