Avisynth: Update of Current Filter Combinations...

Jellygoose · #1 03-22-2003, 07:11 AM

Hi all!

I'm just posting, to see what filter combinations you guys use at the moment! just post the script, and tell us what you think about it!

PyRoMaNiA · #2 03-22-2003, 01:12 PM

MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.05))
LegalClip()
GripCrop(480, 576)
GripSize()
Faerydust()
SmoothHiQ(5,25,35,200,10)
GripBorders()
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,.5,.5,0)
Letterbox(0,0,16,16)
LegalClip()

is what I use most of the time, works great for most films. If I want a sharper image I'll use SpaceDust() instead of FaeryDust, and Blockbuster(method="noise" variance=.6 seed=1) after SmoothHiQ if I'm getting too many DCT blocks.

EDiT: Source DivX/XviD AVI or DVD, although I normally won't need Blockbuster noise with DVDs.

oh, and remember..

Source from: LD; DVB; DVD; Capture AVI (DV vs. huffy vs. mjpeg vs. PIC) and VHS..

So we know why you used those filters.. he he..

I'm using avisynth 2.5 now. With both scripts i can get 2 films to dvd

For DVD Rips (i only go to DVD, not CD):

mpeg2source("test.d2v")
ac3Source("test AC3 T01 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
#sampler(60) # - Use for any file prediction

AutoCrop(mode=0,wMultOf=16,hMultOf=16,leftAdd=16,r ightAdd=16,topAdd=16,bottomAdd=16)
Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") #Or LQ if need more compression
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,.5,.5,0)
Limiter() #Limit color threshold to TV colourspace
ConvertToRGB24()

And For TV Caps:

AviSource("capture (2003-03-22 at 17-35-53).avi")
#FieldDeinterlace() #Use FieldDeinterlace if the source is interlaced
ConvertToYv12()
#sampler(60) #- Use for any file prediction
AutoCrop(mode=0,wMultOf=16,hMultOf=16,leftAdd=16,r ightAdd=16,topAdd=0,bottomAdd=0)
Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ")
TemporalCleaner()
UnDot()
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0.5,0)
Limiter()
ConvertToRGB24()

I have a script like this for TV captures:

Code:

LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\sampler-2.5.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\tomsmocomp.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\dctfilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\cnr2.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\fluxsmooth-2.5.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\avs25\blockbuster.dll")
SegmentedAVISource("c:\temp\captures\lapparit.avi")
KillAudio()
TomsMoComp(0,0,1)
Crop(4,4,712,568)
UnDot()
#Trim(0,1510).BilinearResize(320,512)
Trim(1511,38005).BicubicResize(320,512,0,0.6)
#Trim(38006,39710).BilinearResize(320,512)
CNR2(mode="xxx")
FluxSmooth(15,-1)
MergeChroma(Blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(Blur(0.2))
Blockbuster( method="dither", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=0.7, seed=1 )
AddBorders(16,32,16,32)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
Limiter()
#Sampler(length=24)

Fast and very good quality

What template are you using Pyro??

I use this combination as others do and find it gives great quality and compression together. When using AviSynth 2.51 these are very fast filters.
Convolution3dyv12 (preset="movieLQ")
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,.5,.5,0)

KVCDx3 with the resolution dropped to 480x480/576, as my player does not support 528 or 544 resolutions. Actually I think that mergeluma should be around .4 instead of 8...I'll go edit my post.

I'm currently using:

Code:

mergechroma(blur(1.58))
mergeluma(blur(0.05))

On all my scripts

do i need a special plugin to use mergechroma and mergeluma?

Nope.

If that's what you think is best, then I'll use it too!

...off I go to edit my post again...

I like 0.05 on luma, because even at ~0.1, it starts to blurr the image too much.

PyRoMaNiA · #13 03-26-2003, 04:00 PM

Oh wait, 0.05...seems I misread it

, I thought it was 0.5...maybe I'll stick to 0.4 as that looks fine to me...

Nope.

well, if i add those two lines in my script, i get a message:

script error: there is no function MergeChroma

what must i add?

this is my script

Code:

#==============================================#
# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v1.1.1 =- #

PyRoMaNiA · #15 03-26-2003, 04:11 PM

Hmm, now that I've compared it a bit I see theres quite a difference...I suppose I'll go for 0.05 as well. So off I go to edit my post again.

Edit: Kane, try:

Code:

Mpeg2Source("E:\HdR1\herr der ringe.d2v")
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.05))
LegalClip()
GripCrop(528, 576, overscan=2)
GripSize(resizer="BilinearResize")
SpaceDust()
NoMoSmooth(30, 2, 6, 2, 6)
Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

Kane · #16 03-26-2003, 04:22 PM

hmmm, nothing changed, still the same error

vico1 · #17 03-26-2003, 04:25 PM

@ Kane,

May just be a Cut/Paste thing but...
It should read:
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.05))

Your script reads:
MergeChroma(blur(1.58 ))
MergeLuma(blur(0.05 ))

Tighten your script...should work.

Kane · #18 03-26-2003, 04:29 PM

i got the mistake, i still had avisynth 2.07 installed, i just upgraded to 2.08 and it works

vico1 · #19 03-26-2003, 04:49 PM

@ Kane,
Good to hear you got it.

I`m doing "Band of Brothers" Disc 1 as we speak..almost done.

Using:

Code:

Mpeg2Source("H:\DvD Rips\Band of Brothers\Band of Brothers CD1/BoB-Disc-1.d2v")
GripCrop(352, 240)
GripSize(resizer="lanczosresize") 
mergechroma(blur(1.58)) 
mergeluma(blur(0.2))  
FaeryDust() 
FluxSmooth(7,7) 
NoMoSmooth(40,1,6,1,3,false) 
Convolution3D(preset="movieHQ") 
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,.5,.5,0) 
convertfps(29.97)

Movie is 2hrs5min.
A mixed action movie, with muted colors...can`t wait to see how it turns out!

Kane · #20 03-26-2003, 05:05 PM

wow, with mergechroma and mergeluma one step of prediction lasts more than 30minutes

but the video seems to be sharper with those filters.
