Newbie question: Noise bars and tracking noise bars on VHS

[Matthew1965]

Hi,

Would somebody advise me how to best remove noise bars and Tracking noise from captured VHS footage? Thanks.

I'm messing with an old VHS tape with lots of noise & lines right now and this has it looking half way decent.

AVISource("clip.avi")
Trim(2162,207930)
Tweak(bright=-2,sat=0.64,cont=1.07)
ComplementParity().SeparateFields()
UnFilter(+44, +30)
Convolution3d(preset="movieLQ")
TemporalCleaner (ythresh=4, cthresh=4)
Weave()
LanczosResize(344,480)
AddBorders(4,0,4,0)

Sorry, I am a newbie and I don't understand what you trying to tell me. Please tell me what tool you are using at least, thanks.

I use multiple tools for video projects. This one I'm using AviSynth & VirtualDubMod for trimming scenes and applying & previewing filters and extracting the WAV file to be converted to AC3 using BeSweet, then frameserving my AVI to Cinemacraft Encoder with AviSynth, then I author it with DVD Lab and burn it with Nero. What I posted earlier was just my script for AviSynth....which is a tool for manipulating video source, and frameserving to an encoder. It basicly does the same thing as an editor like VirtualDub, but it's just faster and more efficient.
