Optimal Script FOR DIVX!? Who's got one?

We've all used Kwag's optimal script for DVD sources. Now it's time to propose a NEW optimal script for Divx sources!

Any ideas? Girv, Dialhot, what are you guys using right now?

Reno, we are discussing about this in this other thread you opened 3 days ago :-)

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5813&start=0

In few words, there is the script I use currently :

Code:

AviSource("PATH\NAME.avi",false)

Undot()

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=8,variance=0.3,seed=5823)

ATC(2,3,5,0.5,false)

TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)

GripCrop(WIDTH,HEIGHT, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)

GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")

DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=10,variance=0.5,seed=5623)

:D I know, I know, my bad...

I just wanted a good script without all those crazy comment lines in it. In addition, I'd like to build a consensus regarding the best script for Divx application of KVCD/KSVCD.

How exactly does you script stack up vs. 'Optimal' in detail levels, compression, DCT (Damn Crappy Things) block reduction/smoothing. Etc.

I can't wait to see for myself, but I've got a long encode going on a source I can't name, but my friends are all on my case to get it finished.

Reno,

I am sorry to say this but there are two threads discussing this subject, what about reading them :?: 8)

A consensus in very difficult about scripts, because everyone has it's own preferences and experiences... :wink:

Optimal for all of this + one : the time !

It's amazing how fast this script go : in VCD res and motion estimate search I just encoded a 2h12 long movie in almost 3 hours ! And I have a humble P4 1.3 Ghz ! (it take me 6-8 h to do a movie with MA script).

That's good enough for me, Dialhot. Next chance I get, I'll try it out!

@vmesquita,

Don't apologize, big guy. I understand this post is redundant, but I'd like a universal 'Optimal' for Divx sources.

I guess that's a little premature.

@ Dialhot

Just want to clarify are you still using motionestimate with this script and for all resolutions.

I thought in the original thread they were saying you should use high quality.

Your thoughts :D

@bigggt :
No, I always use High Quality also but yesterday I did a movie I just wanted to see, not for keeping it, and the time was more important than the quality.

Okay,

I just did a couple of tests with an other script so I let you find which is better for you. What I can say is that this one remove much more default than previous one but perhaps too much (?). BTW it raised the CQ by near 5 points on the same sample :!:

Code:

AviSource("PATH\NAME.avi",false)

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=8,variance=0.3,seed=5823)

Deen()

GripCrop(WIDTH, HEIGHT, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)

GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")

Undot()

TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)

DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=10,variance=0.5,seed=5623)

Where can I find Sampler for Avisynth 2.5? It's not on the external filters page! 8O
