DVD source/mosquito noise problem
 

Hi

I have a DVD which has a lot of mosquito noise. When I encode it with the MA script, the result is blocky. Different levels of blockbuster do not solve my problem.
Does FaeryDust or PixieDust work with AviSynth 2.5.x? Will this help? From other postings I've read, this would seem the case. Where would I insert it into the MA script? If not, is there something similar I can use? Perhaps VagueDenoiser? Anyway, I will try the denoised until I get better advice.

Thanks

Try deen, one of these

#deen("c3d",1,10,12)
deen("a3d",1,10,12)
#deen("a2d",2,10,12)

I prefer the a2d for frame muck, a3d for scratches (time span effect)

You also have filters more specifics for mosquitoes : fluxsmooth and undot.

Thank you for the responses.
I am trying Vague Denoiser at the moment. It is impressive and promising. I placed it just before resizing. I borrowed it from a script by Dialhot for AVI sources(see end of post). I need to find the right threshold though...1.0 or 1.5...

VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.5,method=1,nsteps=6,chro ma=true)

I will try your suggestions afterward.
For sure, the MA script was not sufficient. Since undot is in the MA script, more noise filtering is needed. I noticed that someone posted a script with Undot appearing 3 or 4 times...?

Thanks again

AviSource("PATH\NAME.avi",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =5,variance=0.1,seed=5823)
VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.5,method=1,nsteps=6,chro ma=true)
GripCrop(WIDTH, HEIGHT, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)

Your subject talk about DVD source and your script deal with avi :!:

Yes, I am using a DVD source and the MA script. That script is a script you made for AVI. That is where I got the idea to use Vague Denoiser. I imported the line for Vague Denoiser into the MA script. Didn't mean to confuse.

:?: The script you posted has nothing to do with the MA script though...

Either English is your second language or you guys are not taking the time to read my posting. Otherwise, you should know that I am using the MA script with VagueDeNoiser.
I copied the line for VagueDeNoiser from the Dialhot script I showed you in the previous post. That is all.
Anyway, I have had enough time to try different permutations of VagueDeNoiser and Deen. I am happy with the job VagueDeNoiser does. A lot of the mosquito noise is filtered out without losing too much detail.

Thanks...The End

There's no "MA" part on your script :!:
In order to do motion adaptive filtering, you must have this:

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) ")

And I don't see that anywhere on your script.

I'm sorry to say, but none of you guys are reading my previous post carefully. The script in the previous post is not the script I am using. It says so in the post. Go back and read it carefully. Are you all playing some kind of joke with me?
Anyway, my source has a lot of mosquito noise and the following script is what I am using...

Mpeg2Source("D:\TMPGEnc\movie.d2v")
#
#undot()
#asharp(1, 4)
VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.5,method=1,nsteps=6,chro ma=true)
GripCrop(480, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=true)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
Undot()
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) ")

Did I read wrong :?: :?: :?:

Gentlemen Jimblob is right : you don't read his posts carefully enougth :-)

He explaiend that the script he posted ISN'T the one he use. He posted the script where HE TOOK the vaguedenoiser line that he PUT into the MA script.

8O
ok, right. however it's kind of confusing to post a script that you DON'T use and let the people guess how you implemented the VagueDenoiser line into the MA script. :mrgreen:

:rotf:

Guessing is not necessary. The 2nd post says how it is implemented. Take another look and don't just skim thru it.

This thread is just a comedy of errors. :roll:

Anyway, I will test what Deen can do tonight.

Later

But you know we're all kidding, right :?: :D

Then move it to the "Joke Forum".

:lol:

:lol:

Jimlob, don't feel offended. you're right, I did just skim through your posts, and you already explained where you did put it. however it would help if you'd post the final script you used to get rid of your mosquito problem... :wink:

Sheeesh..Ha Ha.

It's time for this thread to expire.

Cheers
