SansGrip Filters: When to use which filter?
Hi Sansgrip and Kwag
I have done a couple of DVD and Digital8 conversions to CD-R and have been satisfied with the results. I have been using only the KVCD templates to do this. I have downloaded Sansgrip's filters but have no idea where to use which and in which order to apply them. Is there any guie somewhere to help me out on this? Maybe someone can put out a guide for all us 'confused' newbies. Thanks and keep up the good works guys. |
Download the filters and put them all in the same directory (I use the mpeg2dec directory because I have fitCD set to point to it already).
Then load you d2v into fitCD. FitCD gives you your basic script that you can then edit by adding the lines for the filters you want to use. I've pasted a script I'm using right now as an example. Next use the generated avs file as your video source in TMPGenc. Hope it helps. LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\MPEG2DEC.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\decomb.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\Fluxsmooth.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\Blockbuster.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\legalclip.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VCD Tools\AviSynth2\MPEG2DEC\sampler.dll") mpeg2source("C:\Rip\*.d2v") Bob() BilinearResize(672,448,0,0,720,480) LegalClip() Fluxsmooth() #BlockBuster(method="noise", variance=1, seed=1 ) LegalClip() AddBorders(16,16,16,16) sampler() |
Hi narc60,
Your best answer right now is to browse this forum. "SansGrip's filters". I know it's a lot to read, but every answer is in here. Here's a basic script that you can use as a template. Just change the source, resize, and Addborders lines for your movie. Use FitCD for that: LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\fluxsmooth.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\blockbuster.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll") mpeg2source("K:\K19\VIDEO_TS\k19.d2v") LegalClip() BilinearResize(672,336,0,0,720,480) FluxSmooth() Blockbuster( method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=.5, seed=1 ) AddBorders(16,72,16,72) LegalClip() #sampler() -kwag |

Hi there,
I respectively tried "dither"=0.4 and 0.7 (with Notch Beta-1 matrix, 704x480 in CQmode, Flux+LegalClip), both worked well, Gibbs effect have been substantially reduced. Having mentioned by kwag that "Blockbuster 'noise' sends noise on the very low luma levels (almost black). That is what kills visible DCT blocks." I agree the scene with complete black is awesome. However, I found that wall with colour other than black and actor's face have "flashing" (flashing very slowly) tiny blocks, whenever there is a still surface (e.g. a person sitting on a sofa talking, the sofa area right next to that person have "flashing tiny blocks). Any idea please! |

At least, I think it is ;). |
Hi SansGrip,
So, is it a trade off then if we want to use CQ mode instead of CQ_VBR? Will Gibbs effect come back if I switch back to CQ_VBR (in 704x480 with Notch Beta-1 matrix, just Flux+LegalClip)? |

Hi Kwag,
Yes it is only on the static part. I DO see it on my TV (Sony 29" flat Trinitron), I did NOT check the box of "detect scene change" in Tmpeg. |

Is this with the BETA-1 notch matrix, or with the original KVCD matrix :?:

My experience is with the original KVCD matrix. |
