Not easy to learn. Spent many hours studying it only to find it deleted my source file when I thought I was good enough to go. Back to 'easy' Staxrip for me!

I mostly use Hybrid for deinterlacing with QTGMC.
My score is based on the fact that it's not easy to learn and remember everything you need to do, and I always find myself going back to asking the creator of this software (on his website) where I'm occasionally going wrong, and he is very prompt at replying!
Another reviewer here says about his videos being deleted. That was happening to me a lot at one stage after I had reinstalled my software and, from memory, changed my settings to suit. I contacted the Hybrid creator and discovered I had made one other very small adjustment that caused the issue. So I suggest that the reviewer do the same.
