First of all, I must state that I was so impressed with Splash Lite I had to buy the Pro version. The SmartSeek feature alone was worth the investment. However, the MCFI algorithm needs some fine tuning/better detection. Akin to the majority of MCFI found in HDTVs, "Motion2" also suffers from visual artifacts and motion stutter. It also fails to maintain smooth motion if the content lacks blur or the gap between two frames is grate, (which often occurs during fast/rapid motion). In addition, it's not possible to fully control the amount of synthetic frames. Setting "Motion2" to 1 should simply smooth the motion without destroying the "original film look", but the output video jumps between low-motion and high-motion instead.
Secondly, there seems to a bug in the audio settings. Setting audio out to 5.1 causes the audio to become compressed/mono sounding. I can't seem to obtain 5.1 audio from the player regardless of the source/settings.
Thirdly, if possible, please add user configurable motion blur, which I believe may also complement MCFI. By adding a touch of blur to certain low-motion contents (24, 25 and 30), it is possible to create smoother motion without any visual artifacts. It is one of the features I love in VLC, but VLC is no match for Splash IMO.
I would like to say thanks again for creating such an excellent player and I'm looking forward to future releases. Also, if anyone require the full system specs, I am happy to provide it.
PS: In the future, will the mirillis team be using the GPU and its RAM to buffer frames to aid MCFI? Also, when will de-interlacing and MCFI is likely to be supported? Sorry for asking so many questions but Splash is the only software to support MCFI outside of MPEG-2 without any plug-in.
