Output file too blurry?

I thinks my output m2v file gets to "blury". The source file has great quality, resolution 640x352 NTSC. I used this script :?

Code:

SwapUV()

BlindPP(cpu=4) 

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=3,variance=0.1,seed=1) 

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

GripCrop(544, 480, source_anamorphic=false) 

GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize") 

Undot() 

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

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

GripBorders()

LetterBox( 8,8,16,16 )

TextSub("National Lampoons 'Van Wilder'.srt")

What should I do, anyway to make my output not so blury :?:

Why don't you use my scipt (in the topic "am I allowed po post optimal scripts here":)? Noone has said something about it so why don't you test it first :D ? I promise you will not be disappointed!

To sharpen your "blurry" image you could use Asharp filter like this.
(Get Asharp at Avisynth.org)

Asharp(1,4) or Asharp(2,4)

or just lower the values in the TemporalSoften in your script, or instead use STMedianFilter.

To turn them off you can go to your divx or xvid configuration file (most likely in your program files) and turn it off over there.

Would you please give a step by step example of what you mean. Use any filename and show us how to turn off)
Thanks

if your file is not in xvid format you don't need to download the codec.

Eightball, if your movie was in divx format and you wanted to turn it off you could do this.

1. Go to C:/Program Files/Divx/DivxCodec
2. Double-Click on Config.exe
3. Click the tab Post-Processing Settings
4. Check Disable Post-Processing

Well, kwag told me if you don't disable it, it would not work well with CQMatic. That's because MPEG-4 Processing is setup different or something.

Oke it was easy to turn it of with some help but I cant find the xvid config. file after I had installed the codec from http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/
The only file I saw was installed was "xvid.ax", it autoinstalled itself in my system32 directory. How can I turn of xvid's postprocessing settings :(

If you use zommplayer as reader, start to read a Xvid and do a right click on the video, in the pop-up menu you have an entry to list all the filter/codec used for the rendering. By selecting one of them you can configure it.

Or you can use dxman that you can find there :

http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio.htm

Launch it, find the xvid codec in the list of all codecs installed, and select "configure".

Thanks :D In the "Post-Processing" square, should all the 6 boxes be unchecked? The defult settings for the Post-Processing are unchecked, so I suppose Post-Processing is turned of then, or?

Should I leave the settings for "X Threshold" and "Y Threshold" as they are?

Everything uncheck and values unchanged for both other settings.
