TComb

This is an update to tritical's TComb v2.0 Beta 2 moving it from beta to release as it encompasses all the changes in tritical's To-Do-List.

Requirements

This filter requires AviSynth 2.6.0 or AviSynth+ as well as the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2015-19.

Syntax and Parameters

The syntax and parameters are identical to the original TComb with the exception of the "opt" parameter. To see a list refer to this link.

Changes

In 2015 Elegant made many changes when updating TComb in order to improve speed (see full changelog for more details):

Removed buffering of frames/info that weren't actually used
Switched to AVS 2.6 API
Added x64 support which also utilizes SSE2
Restructured debug and error messages
Removed MMX/ISSE support
Removed/changed "opt" parameter

In 2021 came a general bugfix release by pinterf. Added linux port, the missing 8 bit Y and YUV formats, external assembler was rewritten in SIMD intrinsics.

Programmer Notes

This program was compiled using Visual Studio 2019 and falls under the GNU General Public License.

I (Elegant) would like to thank jpsdr and dubhater for their work on nnedi3 and the VapourSynth version of TComb (respectively). Their work led to the port of this project. I'd also like to thank the masm32 community who were very helpful as I explored assembly.

Build instructions

VS2019: use IDE

Windows GCC (mingw installed by msys2): from the 'build' folder under project root:

del ..\CMakeCache.txt cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DENABLE_INTEL_SIMD:bool=on @rem test: cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DENABLE_INTEL_SIMD:bool=off cmake --build . --config Release

Linux note: ENABLE_INTEL_SIMD is automatically off for non x86 arhitectures

Clone repo and build

  git clone https://github.com/pinterf/TComb
  cd TComb
  cmake -B build -S .
  cmake --build build

Useful hints:
build after clean:

  cmake --build build --clean-first

Force no asm support

  cmake -B build -S . -DENABLE_INTEL_SIMD:bool=off

delete cmake cache

  rm build/CMakeCache.txt
