Avisynth: Sharp Outline?

oxycotton420 · #1 01-16-2005, 11:09 PM

Hello i am trying to fit a 130 min movie into 1 cd from 720 x 480 to 352 * 240 and i am using this script:

Code:

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 
LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\GripFit_YV12.dll") 
LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\STMedianFilter.dll") 
LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\asharp.dll") 
LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\unfilter.dll") 
LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\undot.dll") 

Mpeg2Source("D:\ant\movie.d2v") 

undot() 
asharp(1, 4) 
BicubicResize(352,176,0,0.6,0,0,720,480)
STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 ) 
MergeChroma(blur(1.5)) 
MergeLuma(blur(0.1)) 
ScriptClip(" nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 2) ")  

AddBorders(0,32,0,32)
function fmin( int f1, int f2) { return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 } 
#Trim(0,227551).FadeOut(150)

the thing is when i tried playing my avs script with BS player or even previewed it from tmpgenc i saw that the outline of the people are really sharp kinda like sharp little pixels all around the persons body very weird and hard to explain can anyone tell me whats up?

Edit this is a picture of what i mean:

There seems to be a problem with your resizing.
Did you use FitCD to get your script line "BicubicResize(352,176,0,0.6,0,0,720,480)"

This has nothing to do with resize but with the tmpgenc preview that is done in RGB24 and not in YV12. BS seems to do the same on your PC when you read avs, surely because a lack of appropriate codecs (that happens to me also on my laptop).

A preview is not for validating quality but just to have an overall idea. Don't worry, your encodings won't be like this.

Note: how strange you have this just now and never before. tmpgenc preview is ALWAYS like this. You woke up this morning looking for new thing to ask even if you don't care about the answer ?

thats not true dialhot because i never seen this happen before so thats why i was curious to ask and find out what is causing this and if it will be important to my overall process i am backing up a lot of my DVD's each one is different that is why i am curious

thx for the help\
EDIT: i don't just sit here make up questions and wait for u to answer them for no simple reason..i have better things to do then that

The preview is what you can find in the "file" menu, not what is on the screen while you are encoding ! (BTW, this should be switched off because it slow the encoding). This last one is generally correctly displayed. So I suggest you to encode the first minutes only and then stop the process to check the result.

Note: are you really doing a DVD ?
