KVCD: What are THE best filter settings?

Just one question. What are the current filtering settings?

Code:

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\mpeg2dec.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\fluxsmooth.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\GripFit_preview.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\blockbuster.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\legalclip.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\sampler.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\convolution3d.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\dustv5.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\decomb.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\system32\vobsub.dll")

For DVD to KVCD I am using those Filters.

script for these filters? dvd -> kvcd3

can you post the script you are using for DVD to KVCD?

Code:

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\mpeg2dec.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\fluxsmooth.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\GripFit_preview.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\blockbuster.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\legalclip.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\sampler.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\convolution3d.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\dustv5.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\Programme\AviSynth2\decomb.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\system32\vobsub.dll") 



mpeg2source("G:\Blade2\Blade2.d2v") 

LegalClip() 

GripCrop( width=528, height=576, overscan=2 ) 

GripSize() 

FaeryDust() 

Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ") 

Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1)

VobSub("G:\Blade2\VTS_03_0") 

GripBorders() 

LegalClip()

#Sampler(length=24) 

## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size ##

Use VobSub only if you want subtitles.

Based on the current discussions on this forum, I gathered that the combination of FaeryDust, Convolution3D, and Blockbuster are not currently THE filters to use. Both FaeryDust and Convolution3D are way too slow, and the Blockbuster filter has no noticeable effect when using high resolution templates like KVCDx3 (it also adds to your file size). So this is the template I use now, I think I got it from Kwag:

Code:

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\MPEG2DEC2.dll")

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\LegalClip.dll")

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\Sampler.dll")

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\GripFit_Preview.dll")

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\dustv5.dll")

LoadPlugin("d:\program files\avisynth2\plugins\temporalcleanerold.dll") 



avisource("E:\Movies\The.Pianist.DVDRip.SCREENER.XviD-QiX\The.Pianist.DVDRip.SCREENER.XviD-QiX.cd1.avi", false)

LegalClip()

GripCrop(528, 480, overscan=2)

GripSize()

SpaceDust()

TemporalCleaner()

GripBorders() 

LegalClip()

Kwag, what do you think?

That's basically what I use :D
I do use PixieDust for noisier sources, but not for DVD sources 8)

Question: what's the dif b/t Pixie, Faery, and SpaceDust? And is SpaceDust and TemporalCleaner recommend for almost all sources, be it DVD, DivX, or XViD? (with the exception of noisy sources like you said)

If you want some more speed, you could try replacing TemporalCleaner with temporal FluxSmooth like FluxSmooth(7,-1). I use SpaceDust() + FluxSmooth(7,-1) for analog TV captures nowadays unless the clip is 30mins or less. In the latter case I use FaeryDust without FluxSmooth.

If I encode a 60 sec clip of my source (a DivX of Farscape with blocky noise) it only takes me 5 minutes to encode using SpaceDust() and TemporalCleaner(), but 8 minutes with SpaceDust() and FluxSmooth(). So are you sure FluxSmooth is supposed to save encoding time? It also takes about 12 minutes with either Pixie or Faery in place of SpaceDust.

Then I must have been trying an older version of TemporalCleaner..it was slower at that time but then again, Vlad is a good coder. I'll have to check that, thanks for pointing that one out :wink:
