trdrop - v1.1.1

ˈtɛr-dɹɑp - a raw video analysis program

Examples

Binaries

- Please create an issue if you encounter problems and search the closed issues for already solved ones.

- If you want to have a specific feature in mind, please attach as much exemplary information as possible (screenshots, mockups)

See the release page for the Windows installer. Other distributions are on the roadmap (Linux, MacOS).

Description

The main use of this software is to estimate the "real" framerate of an uncompressed video.

Usually, a dedicated capture card is employed to capture the video stream with a fixed framerate of a console. To estimate the real framerate of the console, we check for differences on a frame-by-frame basis and count the different frames. This results in the "real" framerate.

The same is done with the frametime, as we count the amount of time a single frame is shown.

We also try to detect frametears and incorporate them into the framerate and frametime calculation.

Hence the name tr (short for tear) and a framerate drop.
