digitalFAQ.com Forums [Archives] - KVCD: How do I increase the sharpness?

My KVCDs look a little foggy or hazy. Is there a way to increase the sharpness or make the picture look more crisp? Heres my avs:

Code:

## DLL Section ## 

# 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\GripFit_YV12.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\STMedianFilter.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\asharp.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\unfilter.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\undot.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\Sampler-2.5.dll")

# 

#### 



## Defined Variables and Constants ## 

# 

MaxTreshold = 1.50 

nf =  0 # Current frame. 

# 

#### 



## Main section and static filters ### 

# 

AviSource("G:\Ripps\Current\CD1.avi", False) 

# 

undot() 

Limiter() 

asharp(1, 4) 

GripCrop(352, 240, source_anamorphic=false)

GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize") 

STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0 ) 

MergeChroma(blur(MaxTreshold)) 

MergeLuma(blur(0.1))

# 

# 



## Linear Motion Adaptive Filtering ## 

# 

# ( Portions from AviSynth's manual ) - This will apply temporalsoften to 

# very static scenes, and apply variable blur on moving scenes. 

# We also assign a variable - and this is why a line break is inserted: 



SwitchThreshold = (Width<=352) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2 

ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+ "nf >= SwitchThreshold ? \ 

unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ) : \ 

TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ") 



# 

# 

# 



GripBorders() 

#LetterBox( Your_Values_Here ) # Depends on situation. Use MovieStacker! 

Limiter() 



# 

# 

## Functions ### 



function fmin( int f1, int f2) { 

  return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 

}

I also was trying another avs:

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\STMedianFilter.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\GripFit_YV12.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\loadpluginex2.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\DustV5.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\25\UnFilter.dll") 





AviSource("G:\Ripps\Current\CD1.avi", False) 



Limiter() 

UnFilter(50, 50) 

GripCrop(352, 240, source_anamorphic=false) 

GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize") 

STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0) 

ConverttoYUY2() 

SpaceDust() 

#TemporalSoften(1, 2) 

MergeChroma(blur(1.5)) 

MergeLuma(blur(0.2)) 

GripBorders() 

#LetterBox(16, 16, 16, 16) 

Limiter()
