AVPlayer HD - Deinterlacing problem for iPad 2?

[cheez]

First of all, a big thank goes to Red Storm. for recommending me the app so that I can copy video files directly from PC to iPad 2 without conversion.

However I am getting some weird problem with playing 1080i video clips. They are an uncompressed 1920 x 1080i MPEG2-TS files. It plays, I get sound and video, but it appears to have de-interlacing problem. It's similar to what you see in the sample picture below:

It gets worse when there is motion. It *seems* as if de-interlacing feature is not incorporated in the app (AVPlayer HD).

Also, the video is chopped in the bottom portion of the screen with artifacts.

I looked for the settings and did not find anything about de-interlacing. Does anybody else have same problem? Anyone has fix to this?

Better contact the developer, you usually can't do much with an App outside of the settings, especially if you don't want to mess with the source file.

I end up just Handbraking stuff I keep on my iPad (which are not movies, mostly FLV porn)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will contact them and see if they have a fix for this. Other than deinterlacing problem, it plays the 1080i video quite well. It hardly stutters (not to the point where it annoys me) and the sound does not seem out of sync. Oh dear the PQ is amazing though. It's solid.

I tried Handbrake a while back and did not like it at all... it seems hardly effective in anything. I tried converting to MP4 format and the files would not be recognized by iTunes. Plus, I too am not a fan of converting / compressing stuff.

As for the porn part, thanks for the remind. I will try putting some on my iPad 2. I almost forgot about that.()

De-interlacing HD is just about the hardest (non-3D) video playback task possible. My Nvidia GT210 GPU can play every pure Blu Ray rip I have, but ask it to de-interlace HD streams and it fails completely. I had to upgrade to a near gaming GPU to have enough stream processors to do the task.

I guess what I am saying is that you are expecting too much out of the iPad 2.

I understand what you're saying.. It is a good point you brought up. But I don't have this issue with my 7-year old sony laptop. It has nVidia Geforce Go 7400 onboard controller. It has 1280 x 800 display and when I run the infamous Media Player Classic, or VLC player, it has trouble deinterlacing 1080i file. If I change the deinterlacing setting in the options it deinterlaces it, but plays very choppy. Here is the kicker, if I run it with Elecard MPEG Player (which is not an open source, costs me $20~ 40 for a license) it de-interlaces it beautifully, on top of that there is no frame drop. It plays so smooth that I'm watching a 60 fps video. This is how I can tell software playback plays important roll... I don't mind paying money for the app for iPad 2, but I can't seem to find one. Problem is, I don't know where I need to go. Too many apps out there. And I don't even know if this exists at the moment.
