Best way to improve raw DV captures?
2 Attachment(s)
I recently bought a working Canopus ADVC-110 for a very good price ($55), and I am loving the results that this device gives. However, I don't know if this is really the best quality possible. All of my family's home videos were recorded on a Handycam (CCD-TRV308 model).
I captured the tapes using Premiere Pro and then deinterlaced the AVI files in QTGMC with a few other filters, such as Deblock QED and MCTemporalDenoise. I really don't know if this improved the quality since I am still new to capturing. Anyways, I am really just trying to find out if there is a better method for restoring DV captures. I have attached some stills from one of my captures down below. |
Difficult to judge on 2 images, but I guess clamped blacks (trees in the bottom right of the first pictures) and whites ("ball building in the first picture, t-shirt in the second picture).
If you post your original captured video we can help you better. |
I've uploaded some snippets from one of the tapes last night on my second YouTube channel. Here is the link.

No please, stop with youtube videos, it was a mess on the other post. Upload original DV capture of the second image
|
On top of that, if we want to see if there is any potential improvement we have to start from the original file, not from a file already restored ;-)

The histograms show problems, ADVC should capture full 0-255 range so the clamping is in the source or in the way the YUV range has been applied to filters and codec (QTGMC, ...). Using compressed h264 x265 files also means we'll decompress and compress several times, adding each time a loss of quality. However, just a quick and dirt eperiment trying to fix dark areas and bright areas. I did not fully check the final result, cause I am in a rush, but attached is the result. It is not a serious restoration, just a share of impressions. Attachment 13542 Attachment 13543 |

By the way, what method did you use to restore the clips?

It is not a serious restoration, just a share of impressions. Whites and blacks are not good. QTGMC is also a denoiser and a sharpener. You really should start from raw DV capture. Quote:
