Very good Inc
I had already copy/pasted this in a word document, for easier reference, but by this way it can be readable by everybody. Nice.
Now, my problem is to find the equivalence between our "used-to" avisynth filters and this filters. And that is what I tried with my previous posts: to give the correlation between mencoder and avisynth.
For instance: you posted a blurrer/sharpener, but there are in mencoder at least 3 blurringfilters: boxblur, sab and smartblur. And an unmask filter (BTW, used in mencodeme: unsharp). What's better, which values?.
I know it's a question of testing and posting here results and parameters, but what's the equivalency, related to strength of the parameters, between hqdn3d and a spacialtemporal like stmedianfilter or whatever?.
Can I translate directly the data I get in virtualdub related to gamma (thanx for your great capture guide), and contrast/brightness/saturation (it's easier to tweak them there, with preview), what's again the equivalency?.
Yes, I know, test and test. First step, know what filters there are. Second, test (and compare with avisynth?)

Im totally in PureBasic right now, ... so I couldnt test that smartblur filter, BUT:
It sounds very promising, like Asharp() as you can determine WHAT will be sharpen like more the edges, ... or more blurring plain surfaces ... depending on positive/negative values

you're right Jell,
is an brasilian way that means:
...more than better, more than great, more than needed, more than very good !
means too.....more than full, more than expected, more than much more...
is like.....INK, YOU'RE TOO MUCH ! (all good things but "too much" )

You can use -ss to encode from a time (to bypass a long intro?)

eg
-ss 20 in the bat file

starts the encoding at 20 secs into the movie (mind you you have to allow for the 20 secs in your audio too; cut it I mean, else you'll be out my 20 secs on the remux (yup silly me found out the hard way )

Edit - Ooopps, about 20 posts too late... duuuh...

Meeow!

We have to keep testing these nice mencoder internal filters...
... but...
...if they find the way to work with avisynth within mencoder (as fast as internal mencoder filters?) then...
