Virtualdub and Avisynth workflow and filter advice for VHS restore
 
Hello all,
I would like advice about what filters and workflow I can use to cleanup this vhs footage. I used a JVC SR-V101US VCR for playback (with TBC/NR on, video stabilizer off, Digital R3 off, and picture control on 'edit'). I used the ATI 600USB for capture device. I capped with virtualdub (no filters) and saved to lagarith yuy2 .avi.

Here is the link:

Try this script:

Thanks. It seems like you have an impressive plugins folder. There are some plugins that I cannot get a hold of such as the agc.dll. That strony site is down. I can't load the script unless I have all of those plugins. Would it be possible to copy your plugin folder? Or at least send me a copy of the hragc zip?? Thanks again.

themaster1 04-10-2014 03:53 PM

you don't need all of them, agc.dll is for HDRAGC which you don't need in this script

Go here, search for hdragc, and you'll find it:

I'm having trouble running the script. Virtualdub keeps crashing. Any ideas?

change de multithreading values ,i have a 4 cores (4 threads) cpu so that gives:

Code:

SetMemoryMax(900)
SetMTMode(3,4)
AVISource("E:\00-montage\SampleSgan.avi")
SetMTMode(4)

Problem is RemoveSpotsMC() don't work with 4 threads (only 2 according to my tests) so try :

Code:

SetMTMode(3,2)
AVISource("E:\00-montage\SampleSgan.avi")
SetMTMode(2)

Or no multithreading at all, only:
Code:

AVISource("E:\00-montage\SampleSgan.avi")
...but it's gonna take longer to process

By the way you'd need avisynth 2.6 MT (multithreads) etc..

Zoink187 04-13-2014 06:25 PM

Ok. I removed the multi threading. It still crashes. I'm using avisynth 2.5 so I changed the paths. Should I just install 2.6? I'd hate to lose my current plugins. Any advice?

themaster1 04-13-2014 06:55 PM

Yes install avisynth 2.6MT if you have a multi cores cpu (most are these days) it's worth it

Take a look here and follow the instructions

It's also a good idea to install qtgmc (and the modded plugins) read here:

Ok. Installed avisynth 2.6 mt. I installed the qtgmc as well and followed the directions on the doom9 forum. I replaced the old dlls with the updated ones. I tried no multi threading and also the mode for 2 cores. (because thats what I have). I still crashes. I have win7 32bit. Virtualdub still crashes. Is there another way? After several hours of time, could there even be a another way to write the script? Thanks

I really wish you would attach scripts to the forum. They disappear to easy.

Better yet, show them using the forum's CODE bbcode:
Code:

Like this!
FYI: That was a sample, not a script. Those should be attached here to, or Dropboxed (and we can copy to CDN4).
