Thanks as usual, Boulder. :D I've been using your scripts for a long time. Will try this tonight.

Is this exactly what you mean?

LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec 3dg.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\RepairSS E3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\RemoveGr ainSSE3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\SSE3Tool s.dll")

Mpeg2Source("C:\film\film.d2v",idct=7)

Crop(8, 60, 704, 360)# 60_60

LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2)

Addborders(0,60,0,60) # 60_60

ConverttoRGB24()
function LRemoveDust_YV12(clip input, int clmode, int "limit")
{
limit=default(limit,1)
clmode=default(clmode,17)
repmode = 2
clensed = Clense(input)
rep = Repair(clensed, input, mode=repmode)
rg = RemoveGrain(rep, mode=clmode)
return LimitChange(rg, input, limit, limitU=255)
}

Nope, change LRemoveDust_YV12(17,2) to LRemoveDust_YV12(17,1). Other than that it's ok. I would also use Crop(8,60,704,360,true) as kassandro's filters might benefit speed-wise from it. Moving the colorspace conversion before AddBorders might also give some more performance.

Interesting article..............only one avs function works as superfilter and gives good results.

:roll: I was wondering if this superscript can be used for putting multiple movies in one DVD also......will it work ????

First of all if I run this script I realized there is no mode 17 for removegrain causing an error and also which function runs limitchange() ???

I think limitchange is part of "SSE3Tools.dll". Also note that I am using the "SSE3" versions due to my processor. I assume you are using the correct ones for your system.

I'm going to try this this weekend with two complete encodes. I think my system will only run with 2 as a MT parameter as it supposedly doesn't hyperthread. Also, I still have XP Home Media running (not Pro), as I want to add a HDTV capture board and some of those require XP Media. We'll see.

Will use:

LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec 3dg.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\RepairSS E3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\RemoveGr ainSSE3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\moviestacker\Filters\SSE3Tool s.dll")

Mpeg2Source("C:\film\film.d2v",idct=7)
Crop(8,60,704,360) # 60_60

LRemoveDust_YV12(17,1) # First test

and

MT("LRemoveDust_YV12(17,1)",2) # Second Test

ConverttoRGB24()
Addborders(0,60,0,60) # 60_60

function LRemoveDust_YV12(clip input, int clmode, int "limit")
{
limit=default(limit,2)
clmode=default(clmode,17)
repmode = 2
clensed = Clense(input)
rep = Repair(clensed, input, mode=repmode)
rg = RemoveGrain(rep, mode=clmode)
return LimitChange(rg, input, limit, limitU=255)
}

One function which contains many parts that affect the output.
I put 2-3 movies per disc most of the time, note that I haven't used LRemoveDust with DVD sources much so it's not "the missing key". Everything depends on the complexity of the movie and the aspect ratio too.

I think any newer Intel processor should have HT capability..but you can check it in Task Manager. See how many CPU usage history boxes you've got, that many CPUs the OS sees. If you haven't installed Windows while hyperthreading has been enabled, it won't show up IIRC. Nevertheless, two threads should already give a nice boost.

You'll need the latest RemoveGrain package, www.removegrain.de.tf .

Boulder,

I am still mostly into PVR-250 captures. What exact modifications should I do to my above avs to use for testing. I get very clear analog cable captures as source. Also, what will be affect of changing size to 352x480 (half DVD) instead of cropping? I capture at 720x480 DVD Full.

I probably wouldn't change the script, possibly add CPU=4 to MPEG2Source for slight deblocking. If you decide to do the postprocessing, you should definitely update to the latest DGIndex/DGDecode package as there were some bugs fixed in the deblocking routines.

Do all the cleaning before downsizing to avoid any oversmoothing.

When I used the card, I disabled all internal denoising.

So, I should

Mpeg2Source("C:\capture\capture.d2v",idct=7)

Telecide/Decimate

LRemoveDust_YV12(17,1)

Resize
ConverttoRGB24()
Addborders()

From where can I download it, I searched without success.

EDIT: Got it....Its part of removegrain 0.9

Also I use SSE2 version for removegrain since the document says

I have pentium machine.

Yes.

It's in the latest RemoveGrain package as well.
Use it if your CPU supports it. Use CPU-Z to determine which instruction sets are available.

Thanks for your help "Boulder". But how does reducing the limit from 2 to 1 help. just for my understanding, how to handle the parameters for this function and how do they effect the picture quality/size by their Increase or decrease. ???

The first parameter is the mode from RemoveGrain. Mode 17 is my favourite as it preserves thin lines much better than many other modes. Limit means the maximum amount of change per pixel.

The higher the limit, the closer the output gets to a regular RemoveGrain(mode=17), which is way too blurry for my taste.

Try this:
Open it in VDub and advance frame-by-frame. You can clearly see how changing the limit affects the output.

Hmmmm....which basically means that the higher the limit the more softer the picture will become and so more compression can be performed and lesser file size, right and vice versa.

Exactly.

Boulder, your little demo script is somehow erroneous.

like you did c is not LremoveDust(17,2), it is LremoveDust(17,1).LremoveDust(17,2) !

I don't know if this was what you supposed (but this demultiplicate the power of the lesson)).
