I used the MA Script. I only add an Deinterlacer.

This was the Output. Original 352x288

What can I do, to get the blocky picture smoother?[/IMG]

yes,
just like i post here many times ago and today,and i see more..
the skin color is too green(means less red) and see the white
in her eyes are yellow/green too!

see my last post trying to explain it...

Raise the CQ :idea:

i'm back to answers Phil!

if with 480x480 in 83 minutes movie i got blocky and
"everybody" with more resolution(544x or 702x)with more than 83 minutes
:arrow: don't got blocks... :?
the script is the same used for all...
if i "Raise the CQ" the final file size will encrease,of course and i say
bye,bye to one cdr 700mb.
:lol:
what i do?
:? :?

If I use this script:

Code:

#======================================================#

# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v2.0.0 (beta3) =- #

#======================================================#



LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\DecombLegacy.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\BlockBuster.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\UnFilter.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\MovieStacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")



Mpeg2Source("E:\dcd\test25\testfinal.d2v")

LegalClip()

FieldDeinterlace()

GripCrop(352, 288, overscan=1)

GripSize(resizer="BilinearResize")

UnFilter(50, 50)

TemporalSmoother(1, 2)

MergeChroma(blur(1.58))

MergeLuma(blur(0.2))

BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_max=7, seed=1)

GripBorders()

LegalClip()

The Output will be this: Original again 352x288

http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

Why? Can I get of of the blocks or not?

Min.Bit 300; Max.Bit. 1800; CQ 60.

I´ll try it again with CQ 90...

AviSynthSwitcher: I fixed the problem. I looked into the folder of the program. I found older versions of AVISynth and updated it to 2.0.8 and 2.5.2. Now i can switch without problems!!!!!

kwag	07-17-2003 07:10 PM

@Avalon,

Blockbuster(noise) is not effective with CQ. Use CQ_VBR for resolutions of 352x240(288).

Avalon

Now i tested all.

d2v directly loaded in TMPGEnc:

http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

sometimes blocky.

d2v across AVS 2.0.8 (KVCD Script):

http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

blocky

d2v across AVS 2.5.2 (MA Script):

http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

The hole sample blocky!!!

5/ add DCT(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0) at the end of the script
6/ blur luma a little bit more (0.2)
7/ add Dup(threshold=1,blend=true) just before DCT
8/ use an overscan of 2

Do this step by step until you have correct result. I generaly stop to 5 even with movie monger than 1h40 !

And finaly, if nothing works, change the movie :-)

PS: I forgot "0/ use a 90min CD" :-))

Hi Avalon,

When you have some time, and I mean a very long time :) , take a look at this (LONG) thread: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2073
There you'll find all the tests we made, comparing CQ vs. CQ_VBR.

07-17-2003 07:54 PM

Thanks!

I´ll look to Your samples:

Here's another view. Please pay special attention to the water and fire scenes:

These are shorter samples:

and more:
frame 86 in vdubmod:
the cord(cable) between the leg of the guy walking
and the head of other guy..in cqvbr show strange artefacts,cq is clean,
and more details in this scene,easy too see.

frame 140 in the water,cq is champion comparing with cqvbr.
frame 208 in the fire,cq is champion comparing with cqvbr that is blocky.
frame 290 with H.Ford,cq is champion again comparing with cqvbr.
and in general details cq is better!

ps:
8O
the strange:
H.Ford seems to me , but i'm really much more beautiful!

hey,....but he have more hair.

This is quite good... Im on page 39 of 43 :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Quote:

0. Encoder: Use TMPGEnc
1. Matrix: Q.Matrix Notch
2. Rate control mode: CQ (use ToK to predict value)
3. Min BR: does not really matter. Use 0.
4. Max BR: 2520
5. GOP: 1-24-2-1-24 (for cartoons 1-12-2-1-15 NTSC, 1-24-2-1-12 PAL)
6. Res: 528x480
7. Stream: MPEG-1 if the average video BR < 1800, MPEG-2 otherwise.
8. Don't detect scene change
9. Use Moviestacker, load the suggested script for KVCDx3 and tweak it to match the "Latest Optimal Script". Use Gripfit and Bicubic resize. Use overscan = 2.
10. Motion search precision: Use High Quality
11. DC component precision: 8 bit
12. Audio: 128 kbps, Joint stereo
13. VBV buffer size: 0 (Auto)
14. Picture spoilage: 0 0
15. No motion search for still picture part by half pixel: Checked
16. Soften block noise: Unchecked
17. Burn as SVCD if your player supports it, else use VCD.
18. File prediction factor: 0.98
19. In NTSC, use Force Film if possible, IVTC if Telecined, and Deinterlace as a last resort.
20. Don't use "Add SVCD scan offsets" nor "Align sequece headers".
21. Use CD size 810 and overburn a minute or so if your CD-Writer supports it. Use 8x at most when overburning.

And Kwags replay:

Quote:

Hi r6d2,

A couple of corrections on the latest achievemnts and findings :

"3. Min BR: does not really matter. " Use 0. -> If your player supports going down to 0, by all means use it
Most DVD players have problems below 300Kbps, so we settled for 300 as a safety factor.

"7. Stream: MPEG-1 if the average video BR < 1800, MPEG-2 otherwise." -> I would say up to 2,500, use MPEG-1. Above that, use MPEG-2.

"10. Motion search precision: Use High Quality" -> If you are going to use the new motion adaptive script for AviSynth 2.52, change that to "Motion Estimation". It produces better video with less visible artifacts.

"12. Audio: 128 kbps, Joint stereo" -> Joint stereo is a No No
Use "Dual channel", and you can also go down to 112Kbps if you encode with HeadAC3he. If you encode "Joint Stereo", you will kill "Surround 2" signals, and the sound will be messed up on a Prologic II receiver.

"13. VBV buffer size: 0 (Auto)" -> Don't use auto Use TMPEG's default. It's more compatible.

"15. No motion search for still picture part by half pixel: Checked" -> Uncheck that

Everything else is fine

Avalon

My last test will go with Motion Estimation and the MA-Script in 528x576...

I´m very tired!!!! Now in Germany it is 3:57 AM and I´ve today a long day...

Good night everyone (or goodmorning...)

BTW...

can I edit the Video.en1-file to VBR-CQ or Motion Estimation ?

An nother question...

is there a good Deinterlacer out... where and if posible a sample ASV-Script...

jorel

07-17-2003 09:35 PM

@ Avalon
good night my friend!
:)
i'm using fielddeinterlace(decomb) but maybe someone can show us
another better choice.

@ Phil
ok friend,i will try all of your recomendations posted....
seems a "brain surgery" in the script!
:lol:
thank you very much!
:wink:

Avalon

07-18-2003 02:50 AM

I changed the testing source... The Princess Blade sample wasn´t the good choice!!!!

I´ll try it now with the full Tomb Raider 2 Trailer out of a DVD...
Looks better...

Post U then my results...

CQ

Now the script :

MaxTreshold = 1.50
nf = 0 # Current frame.

Mpeg2Source("tragt hier den Pfad zu Eurer d2v-Datei ein.")
undot()
Limiter()
asharp(1, 4)

GripCrop(352, 288) <-- you can try (352,576)

GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0 )
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuma(blur(0.2))

FieldDeinterlace()
TemporalCleaner(6+nf,13+nf) <-- REMOVE

SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2
ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+ "nf >= 2 ? \
unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ) : \
TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ") <-- REPLACE by the "TemporalCleaner" line shown above

GripBorders()
MovieStacker!
Limiter()

function fmin( int f1, int f2) {
return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2
}

Dup(threshold=1,blend=true) <-- move before function
DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0) <-- move before function

Two mistakes:

1) You smooth before deinterlacing. Deinterlace first and then do the rest.

2) You sharp first and then smooth again. Better do it the other way around.
