WEIRD

When I observe encoding in Tmpgenc, the picture seems flawless. When I observe the finished product in WMP 7, it looks noisy. When I observe same finished product in WinDVD, the noise is cleaned up (but not all of it). Can anybody explain this weirdness!? What can I expect when this sucker gets on the TV? Better? Worse?

I'm currently using legalclip, faerydust, c3d, legalclip (in that order).

Oh, Kwag....

You're killing me, man. This is becoming an obsession...

Hey, you and Sansgrip have been playing with these filters more than I have. Any recommended parameters (I'm using defaults)?

FaeryDust()

And if you need extra compression:

Convolution3D(preset="movieHQ")

If you need lots of extra compression:

Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")

Remember that C3D will cause significant smoothing, especially the latter version, so I only use it if I'm having trouble getting something to fit on however many discs.

Here's a script I've been using lately for KVCDx3:

Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\GripFit_preview.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\vobsub.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\convolution3d.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\dustv4.dll") 

Mpeg2source("k:\Red_Planet\VTS__01_P01_1.d2v")
vobsub("K:\Red_Planet\VTS_01_VSUB_P1")
LegalClip() 
GripCrop( width=528, height=480, overscan=2 ) 
GripSize() 
GripBorders() 
FaeryDust()
Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ") 
LegalClip() 
Sampler(length=24)
Just change your source file name to yours and the resoultion you want on the GripCrop line. In this example, I'm doing subtitles. That's what the vobsub line is for.

LegalClip doesn't resize -- something else must be the culprit .

BTW, finished up 'The Ring,' burned it, and loaded it up.

It really didn't meet my expectations. Gnarly block noise, especially in gradients. Basically inferior to encodes I did 3 months ago with older templates, without filters... file size is nice, though

I've followed procedures to the letter. Do you think I've got a software problem? I have tempgenc 2.58, and Avisynth 2.07. My source is Divx. Could that be it? Divx sources confuse the filter, or I need a different GOP for those types of sources? Perhaps an additional .dll in Avisynth for Mpeg 4 sources?

Im going mad, I tell you!! MAD!!!

Reencoding to a low bitrate format from a low bitrate format never produces great results (at least for me). The only time I got a really decent encode from an AVI was from a 2hr 3-disc XViD.

blockbuster sharpen afterwards???
