@Dialhot
Do you use only Deen() or do you change any parameters?
(I'm talking about Deen 1.0 beta 1...)

Only Deen.
I just did "fast test campaign" and didn't want to bother with all possibilites allowed by parameters. So I used the defaults.

@Dialhot
Yep, works for me. The default settings sure look good without any tweaks :wink: .

Most of the movies I've done lately, I only use:

Code:

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)  ")

That's it :!:

And if it's a VHS capture, or something other than a DVD, then:

Code:

Deen()



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)  ")

That's good enough for me :)

Only on very noisy analog satellite captures, I add: STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 ) to the beginning of the script.

cool!
then i will do double test:
the new CQMatic 1.3 and that script with resize!
8)

i have only one problem....
only 443Mb free in 140GB ! (60Gb + 80Gb)
i need to finish some jobs and tests first.

I was killing myself of laughing because I still remember when I had a diskless PC (only one 360Kb Floppy) and when I got my 1st external harddrive for a Schneider Euro-PC with 10Mb.
Man that was quite some space for storing :)
And here we are nowadays complaining about lack of space on 140Gb disks :D
That's hilarious isn't it :?:
Hmm, coming to think of it maybe for you it's not, right :wink:
I'm running with 40Gb+20Gb and I'm fine for now but if I install Mandrake on this baby I'll have to live with roughly 12Gb of empty space.
Then maybe I won't be so hilarious, will I?

ink and correia, thanks :wink:

it's not an avatar, it's our salvation!
:lol:

yes correia,
in 1996 i had one ibm aptiva using win95, 8 MbRam,
100Mhz(not pentium,i forgot what is)
with hd 820Mb and was a big size, 80% space free.
now with 140GB in pc and another 40Gb for backup(external hd)
i need to trash some tests to got "just a little" space....~5Gb (just a little?!?! )
:compress:

:lol:

You don't use a threshold any more? :roll:

Nope. It's now fully dynamic ;)

for me only works using ;

Mpeg2Source("D:\source\d2a.D2V",cpu=4)

BicubicResize(xxx,xxx,...) # overscan 1

ScriptClip("nf=YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+"unfil ter(-(fmin(round(nf)*2,100)),-(fmin(round(nf)*2,100))).TemporalSoften(fmin(round (2/nf),6),round(1/nf),round(3/nf),1,1)")
AddBorders(x,x,...) # overscan 1

function fmin(int f1,int f2){return(f1<f2)?f1:f2}
# without "function" don't work

something wrong ?

kwag	04-12-2004 10:20 AM

As a minimal MA script, it would be used like this:

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\filters25\mpeg2dec3.dll") 



Mpeg2Source("movie.d2v") 



BicubicResize(704, 264, 0, 0.6, 2, 61, 716, 358) # Movie dependant values



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)  ") 



AddBorders(0, 104, 0, 112) # Movie dependant values

LetterBox(16, 16, 16, 16) # Movie dependant values





function fmin( int f1, int f2) 

{ 

        return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 

}

Wow interesting! I didn't do an actual encode test yet but just by going thru frames in virtualdub, comparing this MA script to your other one in the sticky, I can see a huge difference in details gained.

I do have one problem with your MA script, and it's something I noticed before stumbling upon this post. It seems that this ScriptClip line has problems with black and white text fading in during an opening credit sequence. The exact movie I'm encoding is Kill Bill, Vol 1. The beginning credits for this film feature a black background with white text slowly fading in, then fading out. The problem is that with this MA line, text will fade in for about 3 frames, then disappear, and fade in again. If I remove the MA line the text fades in as normal. It's a very strange phenomenon and one I haven't seen before! Any clues what's causing it?

I've been having the same problems with unnatural surfaces using your old MA script for quite some time now, so this thread is of extreme interest to me! I'm going to try out Phil's "new deen" script and give it a try.

No, that's not it :lol:
I haven't used AviSynth now for over 2 months, and I have no plans to go back :cool:
I'm completely into mencoder right now, doing symetrical encode tests on Windows and on FreeBSD.
If AviSynth existed for other platforms, then I would definitely use it. But the way I see things, Mencoder has most of the basic necessary filters, and they work on every supported platform. For me, that's a clear advantage.
Catch up to some of the Mencoder threads ;)
