Avisynth: help with writing new script?

Hi guys.
I'm planning on making a backup of "The Last Samurai". So far the only thing I got for a script is this:

Quote:

dgdecode_mpeg2source("D:\Hea\Video\DVD\Temp\Temp.d 2v")
Lanczos4Resize(720,416,0,80,720,416)
Addborders(0,80,0,80)

From using PARanoia. ;)

What I want to do is use LRemoveDust and LimitedSharpen (or maybe LimitedSharpenFast?) but I have no clue to what filter packages I need or how the script should look. :(
If someone would help me out with this I would be very grateful!
I don't know where to download the functions either... In other words, I need to get help with the whole shebang. :D

Okay, so I found the LimitedSharpen.avsi, copied it to plugins directory together with mt_masktool.dll and the RemoveGrain 0.9 package. When I try to load my script in VDub it says:

Script error: There is no function named "DEdgeMask". What am I missing?

Here's my script:

Quote:

import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSharpen.avsi")
dgdecode_mpeg2source("D:\Hea\Video\DVD\Temp\Temp.d 2v")
Lanczos4Resize(720,416,0,80,720,416)

#LRemovedust(4,1) # my favorite one, do use 4,x for the limit, bigger means more denoising but less details
LimitedSharpen( ss_x=1, ss_y=1,
\ Smode=1, strength=150, radius=2,
\ Lmode=1, wide=false, overshoot=3,
\ soft=false, edgemode=0, special=true,
\ exborder=0 )

Addborders(0,80,0,80)

I found a later version (final?) of LimitedSharpen and with this I get an error message saying:

The named argument "soft" to LimitedSharpen had the wrong type"

What does this mean?
I'm using the exact same script as seen above.

Hmm, I'm starting to think I'm the only one left here on this forum... :roll:
Anyways, I changed the "soft" parameter to -1 (=automatic) and now I get a new error message:

Script error: There is no function named "unsharpmask".

Any ideas?

It's me again! :lol:

I changed the LimitedSharpen for LimitedSharpenFast and got it to work! :)
Now I need to get LRemoveDust to work. For starters, where can I download it?

BTW The script I'm using now:

Quote:

loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSupport_09Jan06B.dll")
loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mt_masktools.dll")
import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSharpenFaster.avs")

Mpeg2Source("D:\Hea\Video\DVD\Temp\Temp.d2v",cpu=4 )

#Repair(last,last.blur(1),1,1,1)

#LRemovedust(4,1) # my favorite one, do use 4,x for the limit, bigger means more denoising but less details
LimitedSharpenFaster()

Lanczos4Resize(704,416,5,78,710,420)
Addborders(0,80,0,80)

Where is the post i did 5 hours ago ? 8O :cry: :cry:

I was mentioning that the function can be found also there :

Thank you (both)! :D
BTW Can I use LimitedSharpenFaster to resize the video instead of the Lanczos4Resize in my script? If so, how would it look in my script?

This is my current script:

Quote:

loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSupport_09Jan06B.dll")
loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mt_masktools.dll")
import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LRemoveDust.avs")
import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSharpenFaster.avs")

Mpeg2Source("D:\Hea\Video\DVD\Temp\Temp.d2v",cpu=4 )

#LRemovedust(4,1) # my favorite one, do use 4,x for the limit, bigger means more denoising but less details
LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2)
LimitedSharpenFaster()

Lanczos4Resize(704,416,5,78,710,420)
Addborders(0,80,0,80)

EDIT:
What's the better choice- to encode a movie to 4:3 or 16:9 output?

Never tried but :

Code:

LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2)

Crop(5,78,710,420)

LimitedSharpenFaster(dest_x=704,dest_y=716)

Addborders(0,80,0,80)

Use 16:9 unless you are sure you will never use a 16:9 capable display in the future (and today ALL displays are 16:9), or if you are short in bitrate.

Thanks again Dialhot! :)

Although I had to change the Crop values to even numbers (I changed the 5 to 6) it worked.

Okay, 16:9 it is. ;)

The script look much cleaner now thanks to your help. :D

EDIT:
Do you recommed using "cpu=4" when encoding a DVD with very good quality, like this one (The Last Samurai)?

OKay, now I've implemented Soothe() in my script. The vertical lines certainly looks better with it. :)

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSupport_09Jan06B.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mt_masktools.dll")

Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LRemoveDust.avsi")

Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSharpenFasterL4.avsi")

Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Soothe.avsi")



Mpeg2Source("D:\Hea\Video\DVD\Temp\Temp.d2v")

LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2)

Crop(6,78,710,420)

dull  = last.Lanczos4Resize(704,416)

sharp = dull.LimitedSharpenFaster(dest_x=704,dest_y=416)

Soothe(sharp,dull,20)

Addborders(0,80,0,80)

Oh, I almost forgot... In LimitedSharpenFaster I changed all resizers from Lanczos to Laczos4 since you lose some sharpness when using Soothe(). ;)

I use to let cpu=4 for a everything and use cpu=6 when I want more compressibility. For me this setting has nothing to do with "clean or not clean" source. As long as the source is average-to-fully compressed MPEG2, as DVD are, deblocking is needed IMHO.

Thanks again Dialhot. :)

Okay, that was step one. Now on to step 2.
(I'm not sure this is the correct part of the forum for this...)
I was planning on using HC to encode this movie. I also want to be able to choose subtitles. Is there an easy way of doing this?

That's the easier to do DVD->DVD backup but it does not allow to put several movie on a disc, and in the free version you can choose to remove the menu or the bonus (but you can blank them out before to use DVD-RB with vobblanker for instance).

I'll look into DVD-ReBuilder.

BTW I tried to backup a movie the other day, Lord of War, and it had a wierd protection. DVD Decryter said something about a structure problem? What's that and is there a way around that kind of protection?
Is DVD Decrypter still the recommended DVD ripper?

Yes it is, but when it fails (on a new protection) then try DVDFab or you can try to go into the more complicated process known as '"PSL2 files".

Can/shall I copy the whole script into the filter editor in DVD-RB?

EDIT: Where in DVD-RB do I set the path to HCEnc? And should I use the HCenc_018.exe or HCgui_018.exe version?

EDIT2: Found out about HCEnc... ;) Still need to know about the script though.

You put everything except the mpeg2source line.
And DO NOT perform any resize. DVD-RB can't handle other thing than 720*576(480), that is the original DVD-size.
I suggest you to add a "addborder(16,16,16,16) as last line to reduce the picture area (only if you watch the DVD on a TV, not on a plasma screen on LCD display).

In the setup ;). use HCenc of course.

Note: forget the 1-pass mode, DVD-RB do not handle custom matrix in such modes, whatever the encoder you use. Use the regular 2-pass mode.
