- Deblock
The deblock feature will attempt to increase video quality by reducing the 'blocking' phenomenon caused by low bitrates. The pop-menu next to "Condition" allows you to set when to apply the deblock effect, and the Quality silder allows you to set the amount of Deblock to use.
 
- Video Effect
De-interlace: videos made with the interlacing technique will sometimes display with vertical lines running through the picture. The de-interlace feature can reduce this effect.
 
1) Auto-enable deinterlacing: GOM Media Player will automatically determine whether or not to enable deinterlacing.
 
2) Disable deinterlacing: Never use deinterlacing.
 
3) Enable deinterlacing: Always use deinterlacing.
 
Smoothen: Smooth edges and reduce noise. Check the box to enable manipulation of the slider.
 
Sharpen: Sharpen edges to make blurry images clearer. Check the box to enable manipulation of the slider.
 
Noise: Adds noise to the video. Check the box to enable manipulation of the slider. Check the box next to Color Noise to add color noise.
