Hey there folks of digitalFAQ
I want to remove or reduce these 2 types of noises from the video samples that i'm attaching below. The first 2 videos contains noises to be present in dark areas & the other 2 videos contains noises in bright areas or the entire video to be exact. They are h264 .m2ts & mpeg2 .ts files. Please help.
The movie in the two .ts samples is permanently ruined. The disturbance you see isn't "noise". It is damaged to the point where there is no usable video data to work with. Playing with the color is about all you can do.
BTW, none of those videos are BluRay compliant. 1920x1080 progressive video @25fps is not valid for authored BluRay, which at that frame size and frame rate must be encoded as interlaced. The script above changes the frame rate to the original 24fps film speed, which is valid for 1920x1080p BluRay and which doesn't look and sound ridiculous as it does when speeded up to 25fps.
The noises present in the video i'm attaching other than the dirts, scratches & spots, there is some compression noises in the dark areas kinda like macro blocks (coz they are not exactly block shaped). Is there a filter to remove or reduce that types of noises?
Hey sanlyn what is the best deblock filter to use?
There is no "best" deblocker. DeBlock is among the strongest but is also more destructive. DeBlock_QED uses DeBlock internally but has more specific parameters. The dither 16-bit plugin package has additional tweaks that people add to deblock operations that help prevent posterizing effects after removing macroblocks, such as GradFun3 and filters that add fine film grain effects.
I didn't see any macroblocks in the samples posted in this thread.
Hey sanlyn could you please upload the required support plugins for running Deblock_Qed if you seem to be having them coz some of them have been removed.
And I'm working on the precise video samples having the noises that I had mentioned earlier.
1. DeBlock_QED_MT2Mod.avsi is the latest version. Internally the filter is still called "DeBlocK_QED", so there is no change in the way the filter appears in a script. It is fully compatible with older scripts that used the earlier "DeBlock_QED.avsi". http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Deblock_QED
3. MaskTools2.dll. If you have QTGMC, you already have MaskTools2. The latest version is 2.2.17, whose documentation and download page is at http://avisynth.nl/index.php/MaskTools2.
Hey sanlyn i tried running DeBlock_QED filter and it gives this error message:
Avisynth open failure:

Here's my script:

I haven't made Deblock_QED_MT2Mod.avsi myself. I'm tired of all the MT2mods coming down the pike these days, they seem to work only for their designers. I'd just use the original DeBlock_QED.
# Changes 2008-08-18: (Didée)
# - Replaced the ugly stackXXX cascade with mt_LutSpa() (requires MaskTools v2.0a35)
# - Changed Quant and Offset defaults to 24,28,2,4,4,8
# Changes 2010-05-25:
# - Explicitly specified parameters of mt_LutSpa()
# (required due to position of new 'biased' parameter, starting from MaskTools 2.0a43)
# - Non mod 16 input is now padded with borders internally
# Changes 2010-08-18:
# - Replaced AddBorders with PointResize
# - Changed Quant and Offset defaults to 18,19,3,4,1,1 to reduce blurring
# Changes 2010-10-16:
# - Replaced 'relative' with the new 'mode' parameter in mt_LutSpa(), starting from MaskTools 2.0a45
# - Changed Quant and Offset defaults to 24,26,1,1,2,2 to increase effectiveness, but still within sensible limits.

Are you using plain vanilla Avisynth 2.6, or another version of Avisynth?
Are you using the 64-bit version of any plugins ? (they must all be 32-bit)
Are you using Windows 10?
I'm using plain vanilla Avisynth 2.6. 32-bit plugins only. Windows XP.
Now the earlier error has been fixed after a PC restart, but there is a new error message:
Code:
Avisynth open failure:
Script error: there is no function named 'dctfilter'
