Kwag, on the latest script, I'm curious...

Why BicubicResize?? Wouldn't LanczosResize bring out more detail?

Yes, and also a lot more artifacts :o

FYI:
When downloading unfilter be sure to pick the old unfilter.dll as the newer one supports avisynth 2.5 only.

Hi Kwag,

I really suggest to add the DCTFilter.I will upload some samples with some dark scenes and then you can judge it.

With DCTFilter you can raise the CQ up to 4 and in my eyes there's no Change of quality.

kwag 04-07-2003 01:31 PM

I tried DCTFilter yesterday, but it bombed on me on AviSynth 2.51. I'll try to figure out the problem later today, and make some HDTV and/or Vdub screenshot comparisons :wink:

kwag,
In general, is everyone using Avisynth 2.51?

-Yoda

kwag 04-07-2003 03:01 PM

Most people are still using 2.0x.
I just started doing some tests with 2.51. It's (barely) faster that 2.08, at least on my machine ( Pentium 4 @1.6Ghz).

I have to say...using the latest script with the KVCD-CQ-352x480-_NTSCFilm_-PLUS.mcf (in MPEG2 format)
template, on "Band of Brothers" CD3 part6 looks VERY good to me!

With test strips (CQ=59) viewed on our 37" Mitsubishi TV (non-HDTV)
using an Apex 1100w (1meg) these appear to be my best encodes (at that rez) to date.
(I`d like to use the X3 MPEG2 template...but my Apex doesn`t like it,
as demonstrated with Kwag`s test downloads and a couple of my own)

Sript used:
Mpeg2Source("H:\DvD Rips\Band of Brothers\Band of Brothers CD3\BOB CD3-part-2\BoB-cd3-part2.d2v")
GripCrop( width= 352, height=480, overscan=0 )
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
unfilter(50,50)
temporalsmoother(1,2)
mergechroma(blur(1.58))
mergeluma(blur(0.4))
GripBorders()

I`m using Avisynth 2.08, about 3.5hrs to encode using P4 1.7ghz.
For this...I`m trying TMPGEnc (v2.510) internal audio engine at 112 (to make comparison)

Any comments, or suggestions are appreciated.

Has anybody tried this script on a higher-res encode, say 704x480? I'll try it in about, oh, 7 hours :)

not yet, but i think we can easily do that and get a great result, thinking of, what kwag´s cq51 sample looks like :lol:

Hey Kwag and friends,

There are occasional movies that I like to back up onto a DVD for compatability purposes between different players. Generally I back up 2 or 3 titles to 1 DVD+R. That being said, are their optimal filter settings (tweaks) that can be done in lieu of prediction based results of the larger file size which derives a larger CQ value. Like everyone I looking for optimum quality / speed.

I know there is somebody out there that has tried backing up 6 hours of video on a DVD @ 704x480 or 720x480. I prefer full D1.

Thanks

Morning guys!
 
I can't seem to get UnFilter working. And from what I have read, I seem to be the only one having trouble? I'm using AviSynth 2.07. Is that too old or what? Please, help me. I'm dying to try Kwag's new script out!

Kane 04-07-2003 07:40 PM

it works perfectly with avisynth 2.08
never used it with 2.07

kwag 04-07-2003 07:41 PM

Hi audioslave,

You can use "sharpen( 0.5 )" instead of unfilter. It's just a little slower :)

-kwag

audioslave 04-07-2003 07:44 PM

Okay, I'll try sharpen. But does anyone know why unfilter won't work?

maybe a silly question, but:

did you download the unfilter.dll?

audioslave 04-07-2003 07:51 PM

Hmm...
Seems when I unpacked the Unfilter.dll it created a folder in my AviSynth folder... :roll: Anyway, I now moved the dll file to where it's supposed to be and everything works like a charm! Sorry, for taking up your precious coding time... :oops:
Thanks again!

i had the same problem some days ago,
i´ve put all my filters in the moviestacker - filter directory

Reno 04-08-2003 03:12 PM

@BCHteam, what settings are you using for DCTfilter?? Could you post them for me?

Extract the Unfilter.zip file and check "Keep file names". Now have a look at the folder u"ve extracted it, there is folder named unfilter_old...
Just use this .dll (it"s the one for the avisynth 2.0x versions)
:)
