AviSynth+ (nekopanda fork)

[gispos]

I have tested the Neo (nekopanda) version of Avisynth+. KTGMC (QTGMC) with Cuda is awesome, though unfortunately a few things are not okay.

video=LWLibavVideoSource(SourceFile, cache=False)
audio=LWLibavAudioSource(SourceFile, cache=False)
audioDub(video, audio)
OnCPU(4)
KTGMC(Preset="slow", FPSDivisor=2) # Cuda version of QTGMC
OnCuda(2)
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="low", sigma=6, tovershoot=1, GPU=false)
Spline36Resize(1920, 1080)
NonlinUSM(z=3.0, pow=1.2, str=0.4, rad=2.0)

Source clip is 720x480, QTGMC and MCTemporalDenoise together and the whole thing runs at 21 fps. I've never had that before.

The problems:
MP_Pipline I do not get to run for my older scripts.
After OnCuda() statement some filters will not work anymore. For example, I can not use HDRAGC after OnCUDA.

Too bad. Does anyone know advice?

If you have enough space, just use lossless intermediate files.

I played around a bit more.
MP_Pipeline + HDRAGC after Cuda I got to run, but if Cuda and HDRAGC are used together or MP_Pipeline and Cuda, two scripts are needed.
For MP_Pipeline, return last has to be added.
Everything a little bit elaborate, I have not found any other way.

But the results are just WOW!

QTGMC(preset="slower") + HDRAGC + MCTemporalDenoise + resize + sharpen with over 22 fps is not bad.
And the low memory requirement between 480 and 580 MB is remarkable.
