JES Deinterlacer

Please don’t think of this as just a deinterlacer — it does a great many things, it does them very, very well, and it does them completely FREE. I encourage you to download and try it, as it’s superior to many such shareware and commercial tools. Over the years, I have evaluated more than 40 different video manipulation programs — both multi-function apps and those dedicated to specific tasks — and JES Deinterlacer is the very best standards converter (PAL > NTSC or NTSC > PAL, etc.) and deinterlacer I’ve ever used (fast too). It has been around for at least 11 years, is frequently updated, and the developer is very responsive, a real pro. Here are some of JES Deinterlacer’s capabilities (from its manual): ◆ Deinterlace digital movies (various ways), change field dominance, and reinterlace; ◆ Standards conversion (scale and change frame rate, for example PALNTSC), and inverse telecine (NTSC -> film); ◆ Crop, shift, and add edge; ◆ Simple color correction; ◆ Reduce noise (using a temporal filter), removing jaggies, deblocking; ◆ Change encoding (gamma, video range/full range, compressor); ◆ Fast/slow motion, reverse movie, progressive in/out; ◆ Lossless M-JPEG field handling; ◆ Flipping video vertically and horizontally; ◆ Copy/implement track geometry, both classical (track scaling, etc.) and new (image description extensions for pixel aspect ratio and clean aperture). This developer also offers a few other great, free video applications, including JES Video Cleaner (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17540/jes-video-cleaner/), which does a superb job of reducing noise, removing logos, averaging two movies, removing cross-luma and brightness variations, etc. BTW, I don’t work for and have never met the developer. I’m just a big fan of great video freeware and shareware, and I’ve been using this one for nearly a decade.

An essential piece of software, still working its magic in 10.9.5. :-)

Never encountered this little useful app! Works perfect for NTSC movies. Great job !

One of the very best video utilities available — free or otherwise. Many don't know this, but in addition to being the best deinterlacer, it's especially good at standards conversion (converting video from PAL to NTSC and vice-verse), better than all but the most expensive commercial apps (like Compressor, Episode Pro or Squeeze). The developer updates it frequently, helpful, and is very open to suggestion. A major must-have.

Jan you rock!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! Your apps are great! Keep up the good work ;-)

Quits itself always when starting transcode.

Waow! I've found nothing else for slowing down a movie as accurately and fast! (even if it's not its main purpose, it was exactly what I was searching) N.B.: my goal was to find the steps in a salsa dance movie... ;-)

Interesting Tool! I would need it to resize Video (MPEG, progessive) from my digoicam. Resize works but without filtering noise reduction. But i see that noise reduction is only selectable if Video input is interlaced?! Doesnt such noice reducuction or other filters cant be used on progressive video ? (Bug or it is so planned / not possible to add filters for progessive video) Thanks!

This has to be the very best app available for doing the things it does, even if it is free. Aces.
