I've tried every filter you guys have mentioned in Avisynth; Blockbuster, Convolution3d, Faerydust, Fluxsmooth, etc...

I can't keep my finished product from looking awful.
No matter what combination of filters/denoisers I use (from the above), my KVCD comes out noisy!! Not just in one place - everywhere!

I've tried different templates, vacillating between x2 and x3. No difference.
I've even tried using the new x3 and x2 with CQ cranked up to 100 and bitrates being low 1000 and high 3000! Still awful!

At this point, despair is creeping in. I hear you guys raving about your results, and what I see blows me away, but I guess I don't have the savvy to reproduce them...

My source is a divx copy of the movie 'The Others.' I am previewing the output in Windows Media Player.

I don't know what to do...

@Reno,

I have a few questions:

1) How good is your Divx video? Is it a high quality picture?

2) What is the resolution of your Divx? (use VDub>File>File Information)

3) Could you list the avs script you are currently using?

black prince,

The source is actually very good, that's why this experience is so disheartening. I've successfully encoded six other divx movies without this phenomenon. But since (somewhat) learning to implement Avisynth, I'm going backwards instead of forwards!

For what it's worth, here's the script (I'm a noob, so I have several filters loaded, but only a few 'switched' on - I'm experimenting with combos).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Fit CD and Avisynth Filters\Fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Fit CD and Avisynth Filters\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Fit CD and Avisynth Filters\DustV4.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Fit CD and Avisynth Filters\Convolution3d.dll")
AVIsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\Desktop\Signs.avi")
Converttoyuy2

#Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ")

## use Faerydust (light) for clean sources
Faerydust()

## Use Pixiedust (medium) for obvious noise
#Pixiedust()

#Fluxsmooth()

Blockbuster( method="noise", variance=.5, seed=1 )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't mistake discouragement for abandonment. I am WAY more stubborn than that. I WILL see this through if it kills me!

@Reno,

Start with a script like this:

LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\MPEG2DEC\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\LegalClip\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\Sampler\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\GripFit\GripFit_Preview.dll")
avisource("D:\Temp\movie.avi")
#
LegalClip()
GripCrop(528,480,overscan=2)
GripSize()
TemporalSmoother(1,2)
#GripBorders()
LegalClip()
#
#Sampler(length=24)


You can change GripCrop to GripCrop(352,240,overscan=1) if you
want to use 1 CD. Make sure you get GripFit_preview-0.0c.zip.
Encode a 30 second clip with Tmpgenc and play it with WMP and
burn a CD-RW to play on your stand-alone DVD player.
