Avisynth: KVCDx3 Video Looks Pretty Bad

Hello there, this seems to be my problem.

First off, I am dealing with a DVD (Returner) decrypted and ripped to my HD. This is a great Japanese movie and as I dont care for dubbing, I decided to pop hardsubs on to this baby, unfortunatly since I convert to YUY2 for the subs AVISynth complains that it cant bob it

its 113min, 29.97fps and interlaced (I believe), what would you suggest as the best settings for the script? I do not mind running it for 18 hours at a time.

I already converted the audio to 80kbps MP2 and am going to mux it later, 320x288/320x240 is just to low resolution for me, yet if I make it KVCDx3 the video looks pretty bad (I used 192kbps audio though)

here is my script so far, sorry, it is a bit rough.

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\ToKVCD\VSFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\ToKVCD\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\grip.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\ToKVCD\STMedianFilter.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\asharp.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\ToKVCD\unfilter.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\undot.dll") 
Mpeg2Source("C:\dvd2avi.d2v",cpu=4,idct=5) 
ConvertBackToYUY2()
IL = 2
SL = 50
SelectRangeEvery(IL,SL)
undot() 
Limiter() 
asharp(1, 4) 
GripCrop(480, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize") 
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, 1)  ") 
GripBorders() 
Limiter() 
VobSub("C:\RETURNER\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx")
function fmin( int f1, int f2) { 
  return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 
}

Why did you do that ? No need to do !
Just remove that and your problem will vanish.

for some odd reason I dont remember

thanks a lot though, any suggestions for optimizing that? (as you can see in the script, im running a P4)

All plugins should be in that directory. This way you can remove ALL loadplugin lines as everything that is in "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins" is autoloaded by avisynth.

I don't see the need of that. I you don't even, remove it.

You already have "Asharp" a little above this line so you should not use Lanczos. Use Bicubic.

Limiter don't have any utility but if you want to use it, use it as last command. So after the subtitles.
