Hi Kwag,

Found plugins for VirtualDub called "TemporalCleaner" and "SmartSmoother".
Is there a way to use these plugins with avisynth. They are suppose
to clean picture image "mosquito effect" and "block soften" while compress-
ing filesize. This is the best of both worlds. Their only negative is slowing
down encoding time. I want to test them, but must use VirtualDub to
frameserve for Tmpgenc. Is there a way to have avisynth call them.

Thanx

Hi black prince,

TempoalSmoother works better than "TemporalCleaner" and "SmartSmoother". But based on my latest tests, I've found C3D even better, because it filters the "mosquito effect" better than TemporalSmoother, but maintains higher sharpness and no ghosting effect. Even using TemporalSmoother(2,2) I can see some ghosting or "silk" effect on top of the video on some movies. I only use TemporalSmoother for captures and very noisy DVD's. I am now more biased towards C3D, because of the results.

@Kwag

What settings are you using now for C3D. My last settings
were C3D(1,4,6,3,5,2.5,0).

Thanx

Convolution3d (1,0,0,7,7,3,0)

hey black prince,

You can use the smart smoother vdub filter with AviSynth with this plugin vdub filters 1.4. Mario posted this link in another thread

Kwag, Where can i get the C3D filter and how do i get it to work in my fitcd script please.?

Hi

try this :

LoadPlugin("C:\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Convolution3d.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\movie.d2v")
BilinearResize(336,192,45,0,630,480)
Convolution3d (1, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 0)
#TemporalSmoother(1,2)
AddBorders(8,24,8,24)

Here's the web site for "Convolution3D for AviSynth" : http://hellninjacommando.com/con3d/

Loose Moose,

Your settings for convolution3d are pretty different from what Kwag suggested. Can you ( or Kwag ) explain the difference ?

Hey lula,
Some like blondes, some like brunettes
It really depends on the source material.
I chose "softer" filtering parameters. Not as strong as Loose Moose's settings.

The ones I used here are taken from the authors page.
Please have a look at the different settings for C3D and their meaning.

BTW there is a "GeneralConvolution" included in avisynth.
