Kwag,
Would you please post the LASTEST script for blockbuster and nomosmooth filters again, because the "Addnoise" thread had so many amendment, thanks!

Sure! Here's what I'm currently using:

NoMoSmooth()

######## Auto Strength, proportional strength depending on resolution #####
## Remove only one "#" on front of the resolution that matches your encoding.

BB_Resolution = 352*240
#BB_Resolution = 352*480
#BB_Resolution = 528*480
#BB_Resolution = 544*480
#BB_Resolution = 704*480

BB_StrengthConstant = 352 * 240 * 20 # Base strength
StrengthValue = round (BB_StrengthConstant / BB_Resolution)
Blockbuster( method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, lv=1 ) # Apply noise if complexity is <= 10%.
Blockbuster( method="sharpen", detail_min=20, detail_max=90, strength=StrengthValue) # Sharpen only if complexity is >= 20% AND <=90%.

# The last ~10% is left untouched (pass-through), to avoid sharpening highest frequency components ( Peak artifacts, sharpest edge, etc. )
##
################## End Auto Strength ####################

Hi there,
The size prediction seems not so accurate when using with blockbuster and nomosmooth filters. The final output has a 100MB difference (the final output is 100MB SMALLER than the predicted one) with the predicted size! (I used the standard size prediction button in FitCD)

Change the .95 constant to a higher value. Try 1.1 to 1.2.

Kwag am I right in assuming that I can put 704*576 in my script
and it will do the job as well?

@vdermerwedz,

Yes.

@syk2c11,

I just finished encoding a movie. The predicted file size was 698MB. the actual file size was 682MB. That's still within the correct range. I did this one manually. Not via DVD2SVCD.

I'm brand new to Avisynth, so bear with me if I'm being dumb right now. But Why is "StrengthValue = round(BB_StrengthConstant / BB_Resolution) on the same line as BB_StrengthConstant... and behind a comment mark ("#")? Is this just a typo? Should it be:

?

Sorry if I'm talking out of a hole in my body that's not my mouth

Thanks Cau,

Cut+paste doesn't necessarily work every time Sorry!
I edited the post.

Thanks,

So with this:
## Remove only one "#" on front of the resolution that matches your encoding.

BB_Resolution = 352*240
#BB_Resolution = 352*480
#BB_Resolution = 528*480
#BB_Resolution = 544*480
#BB_Resolution = 704*480

If I change to the second one, do I change this line to?

BB_StrengthConstant = 352 * 240 * 20 # Base strength

Also would this be the correct order:
Resize
fluxsmooth
nomosmooth
blockbuster

Thanks

Hi Holomatrix,

You only remove one "#' from the block. So for 352x480, it would be this:

#BB_Resolution = 352*240
BB_Resolution = 352*480
#BB_Resolution = 528*480
#BB_Resolution = 544*480
#BB_Resolution = 704*480

No other lines need to be changed.
As for the filter order, it is correct.
