Hi

I have an xvid avi(1300kbps, 592x320, 1.85:1, pal, 106minutes) which I want to encode to a pal skvcd.
Most of the encode looks okay except for some dimly lit scenes which turn out hazy. Here is the script:

AviSource("C:\TMPGEnc\myfile.avi",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Undot()
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(480, 576, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.0,method=1,nsteps=6,chro ma=true)
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
GripBorders()

Is there a filter to enhance dimly lit scenes? Am I trying to fit too much onto a single 80 minute disk?

Thanks

Have you tried it with the v4 avi script?

No response??? Okay...I made a change in the script...

AviSource("C:\TMPGEnc\myfile.avi",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.0,method=1,nsteps=6,chro ma=true)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(480, 576, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilterD(4)
GripBorders()


I am hoping for some kind of advice on how deal with those few scenes with low lighting that end up fuzzy/blured.

Judging from the response of the first post, nobody has anything to say. Even if you have no suggestions, let me know.

Thanks

You won't fix yur light related problem by playing with a denoiser like vaguedenoiser.

Your problem is too fuzzy for me to understand what happens to you.

A snapshot of the original frame and of the corresponding encoded one should be of great help.

Once again, I fell victim to "overfilteritis syndrome". I re-encoded without vague denoiser and am satisfied with the results.
