Slow, slow(!) render rate in VirtualDubMod

/me can't wait for EADFAG mk III to become standard so that people won't see mfToon/vmToon as the first recommendation for sharpening and line enhancement and maybe so many people won't keep having this problem.

It already is the new guide.

I think he means it being the main guide that is posted in the How-to Guides section, since the previous version is still the one up there

Not until the "beta" is gone from its URL, it's not.

I've dumped mftoon and never looked back. The results I get with FastLineDarken() and aWarpSharp() or LimitedSharpenFaster() are very similar (and if I take the time to tweak settings, almost indistinguishable), but the rendering speed is much faster.

If you use FastLineDarken() and aWarpSharp() together you'll probably want to set FastLineDarken's thinning parameter to 0.

Code: Select all

FastLineDarken(strength=90, thinning=0)
aWarpSharp()

Using FastLineDarken(strength=50, thinning=0) with aWarpSharp(depth=8) may give you better results since aWarpSharp() at the default settings (depth=16) can make some lines look weird.

I thought it was

It said the beta had become the official guide on the site.

I would suggest warpsharp over awarpsharp. It's too strong and inconsistant. Before I joined, my group released Mamotte Shugogetten and one of the filters was awarpsharp and it killed the opening (hardsubbed Japanese karaoke which was common in the 90s). The text would change thickness as things changed in the OP (eg. a character moving across the screen)
