Does FFmpeg support GPU-accelerated deinterlacing?

Yes, this skill provides commands for 'yadif_cuda', 'bwdif_cuda', 'bwdif_vulkan', and 'deinterlace_vaapi' to utilize your hardware's power.

What is the best FFmpeg filter for deinterlacing?

For general use, 'yadif' offers an excellent balance of speed and quality, while 'bwdif' (Bob Weaver Deinterlacing Filter) provides superior quality for professional results.

What is the difference between yadif and bwdif?

Yadif is faster and widely supported, while BWDIF uses more surrounding frames for interpolation, resulting in fewer artifacts and better motion handling.

How can I remove 3:2 pulldown from a video?

To perform inverse telecine (IVTC), you should use the 'fieldmatch' filter followed by 'decimate' to restore the original 24fps film frame rate.

How do I check if my video file is interlaced?

You can use the 'idet' (interlace detection) filter within FFmpeg to analyze frames and determine if the content is TFF, BFF, or progressive.
