Is it recomended to use the blockbuster and FluxSmooth filters if I am using an AVI file as source?
The AVI is in good quality (DVD-Rip), but not completly blockless...

Please answer this one as fast as possible. I'm gettíng really blocky video.

Yes. I used FluxSmooth and Blockbuster on my Avi-Files too, and the results were better than any other filter combination.
Just use Temporal Smoother (2,1) before FluxSmooth and almost all noise will be gone i believe.
Blockbuster kills blocks that will appear in dark areas, but it won't kill any blocks in the source file.

What would the script look like that we would put into FITCD? I am very new to this...

I saw the one Kwag has but its not for AVI files..

Do you have the template that we could cut and paste into fitcd to use?


Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott,

Try something like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll")

AviSource("C:\unzipped\test.avi")
LegalClip()

BilinearResize(320,160,18,0,540,304)

FluxSmooth()

######## 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, variance=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 ####################

AddBorders(16,40,16,40)
LegalClip()

#IL = Framecount / 100 # interval length in frames
#SL = round(Framerate) # sample length in frames
#SelectRangeEvery(IL,SL)

I am going to try this on an AVI file tonight to see what happens...

I read that if you use anamorphic fitcd will determine if your avi is widescreen or not and your final product will be the same.

I used this and it worked great...When I click on it now it erases everything I cut and paste from your post.

How can I get the anamorphic part into the script...or do I even need it with your script above?

I like having fitcd determine this...makes it easier than making all the changes with tempgenc.

Or should I leave it unchecked and make the changes in tempgenc for widescreen?

Scott

Hi Scott,
Try making the basic script first, then editing it with notepad to add the Blockbuster stuff
