    You should use Histogram() or VideoScope() to check your levels.

    i'll check that
    it's another part of the same capture ..
    it was a follow up on my ColorYUV(Levels="PC->TV") question

    i tried ConvertToYV12(matrix="PC.601") and gave me an error

    You're wasting your time with those. They are basically presets for ~ColorYUV(cont_y=-36, off_y=-2).

    those presets saves me time , i think
    i'm still a newbie in all of that
    if i had a better idea how to translate into numbers ; i'd do it
    maybe have you got some reading to suggest to me ?
    i could try some commands in the ColorYUV wiki page

    Only if ColorYUV(cont_y=-36, off_y=-2) is exactly what you want to do. Otherwise you're just blindly applying a fixed levels adjustment. It's like saying you buy size 10 shoes because that's the size your brother wears. It may not be the right size for you!

    off_y moves the whole graph up
    gain_y stretches the graph from the bottom
    cont_y stretches the graph from the middle
    gamma_y is a non-linear stretch from the bottom (brings out shadow detail)

    Negative values move the graph down or compress the range.

    I agree with very little in this thread so far.

    MPEG-2 I-frame @ 20Mbit is fine.
    I would not lighten/crush the levels at all. ATI is quite accurate. Sources may be off, however. Adjust for source only.
    A better VCR should be used. The 5800 is rather low-end, lacks TBC. You need an internal JVC TBC, based on images shown.
    TMPGEnc is a noisy encoder. It works, but you need to use higher-than-normal bitrates.

    I've covered all of this before, both at this site, and at http://www.digitalFAQ.com/forum/dvd-video

    this must be one of my worst tape

    and my 5800 is fine , i'm not aiming for perfection , vcrs are hard to find now

    and i will use avstodvd (HCenc) for encoding

    and i will try your suggestions , thanks to all for your patience

    and for MCTemporalDenoise() my cpu is an athlon xp only supports sse and not sse2 nor sse3 so i think i can't use it

    A S-VHS deck with a line TBC will get you much better caps.

    You can probably get it to work but it will be very slow. Try TTempSmooth() for simpler temporal noise reduction.

    should i separate fields when using TTempSmooth ??

  11. TTempSmooth() has an interlace flag. TTempSmooth(interlaced=true).

    with this :
    AssumeTFF()
    ColorYUV(cont_y=-15, cont_u=-80, cont_v=-80)
    ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
    Checkmate()
    TTempSmooth(interlaced=true)

    Avstodvd produced this:
    Video = Import("F:\100 limites\Nouveau dossier\Source..avi.avs")

    Video = Video.ConvertToYV12
    Video = Video.ConvertFPS("ntsc_video")
    Video = Video.ColorMatrix(source=0,dest=2,interlaced=true)
    Video = Video.hqdn3d(10)
    Video = Video.AddBorders(4,0,4,0)
    Video = Video.Lanczos4Resize(720,480)

    Return Video

    i think it's an improvement ..maybe not perfect
    some things may be improved

    i did the whole capture again but with virtualdub and no sync issues
    gave me a slightly different file (712X480)

    oups my uploads didn't work ...

  17. That looks fairly good given the quality of your source.

    I don't know why you would need ColorMatrix(source=0,dest=2,interlaced=true) but the colros do look a little better.

    I don't know any way to get rid of those hum bars (the waves that move slowly down the frame) after capturing. Are they on the original tape or only after capturing?

    that was a 709>601 matrix type of color convertion thing
    didn't seam to hurt much ,
    my blacks and whites were a little more than borderline

    this was probably a dub (2nd gen)
    electrical interference maybe !?
    was even maybe taped onto a previously recorded tapes
    and not the highest grade one
    errors tend to had up.. dirty heads may be in the chain too
    i had some tapes , when i was young living in appartment, recorded with rabbit-ears
    not the strongest signal

    Yes, of course. But the question is -- is it on the tape or did it occur while capturing. If it occurred while capturing there are ways to prevent it.

    i guess it is on the tape
    i would really like to know how to prevent those kind of errors
    it's been a long time since i hooked up a vcr to a tv set

    my pc and system is a temporarely setup
    i've got a room being made this summer where all my gear will be
    (musical , home theater and pc)

    very good themaster1 ; specially for the bottom part that was more distorted
    How did you do that ? how did you get all the chroma noise out ?

    my cpu (old athlon xp.. not that fast ) can't take some instructions (sse2 , sse3 .. i don't really know)

    i just try and try this and that ;and see what i can do , and trying (i said trying) to understand what i do

    i'm no pro

  23. I think you can still use any filter, the SSE2, SSE3 intructions sets just help speed up calculations. Most avisynth filters will fall back on the other instruction sets like MMX. It just will be a bit slower for you




    I suspect those undulating bars are remenants of the chroma noise not being completely removed. But your "source2.avi" and "output.m2v" aren't the same clips, so it's hard to say for sure. As for the underlying cause, not idea.

    Here is my go at it

    would be fun if you shared your scripts ..

    in fact source2 is the very end of output.m2v i just edited it so i could post it here

    if i get good results doesn't bother me to wait a day or 2
    it's a 46 min capture

    Yep, no problem .

    I realize source2's and output.m2v's relationship, but if you look at your output.m2v, the undulating noise is not as noticable where the clips overlap. It's more noticable at the beginning, where there is no overlap - so it's hard so draw conclusions. Was there a different pattern going on?

    Actually I can replicate the undulating pattern if I remove the removedirtmc section of the script below, I thought was the edge of the chroma noise bars, but it's probably an underlying luminance frequency issue

    Because it moves field to field when you group even/odd fields, you can catch it with removedirtmc if you apply strong enough settings. If it didn't move that fast, you wouldn't be able to detect it with that filter

    Another approach might be to use FanFilter
    http://avisynth.org/vcmohan/FanFilter/FanFilter.html


    Code:
    AviSource()
    ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
    Checkmate()
    Chubbyrain2()
    FFT3DFilter(sigma=6, bt=3, plane=3, interlaced=true)
    SmoothLevels(0,1,255,15,245,chroma=200)
    SmoothTweak(saturation=0.85)
     
    AssumeTFF()
    SeparateFields()
    f1=SelectEven().RemoveDirtMC(50,false).TTempSmooth(maxr=4, lthresh=24, cthresh=4, strength=4).LSFMod(strength=50)
    f2=SelectOdd().RemoveDirtMC(50,false).TTempSmooth(maxr=4, lthresh=24, cthresh=4, strength=4).LSFMod(strength=50)
    Interleave(f1,f2)

    different pattern .. i just applied the scripts in post #42

    i'll try your script
    I may not have all the plugins to do it right now i'll search them
    it's getting a little technical , english isn't even my 1st language
    but one step at the time , slowly getting there

    hoping it'll work for the whole capture (and similar one)
    well i've got homework to do , thx a lot for your help . it's really usefull

    all of this will surely help me in the futur to deal with future captures

  27. Chubbyrain2() did a good job at removing the hum bars.

    You think it was chubbyrain2? ?

    If I remove the RemoveDirtMC / TTempSmooth section from the script above, those undulating bars return

    Or maybe you're using different combo of filters ?
    Quote Quote  
  29. I had the op's filter chain with, CheckMate() and hqdn3d(10) sitting on my desktop (still had hum bars), and added Chubbyrain2() after Checkmate(). But yes, ChubbyRain2() alone doesn't remove the hum bars.

    i've never worked with auto loading script ..

    FFT3DFilter cannot load FFT3DFilter.dll error # OK solved !

    for smoothlevel what dll should i call in my script ??
    smoothajust SMVC or ICC ? Both ??
    i guess it's x86 notx64 (xp pro 32 bits) #OK Solved

    should i call every dll individually ?? that's what i try to do now..to avoid each error that avisynth gives me ..

    i think i've got a little difficulty to setup this chain

    maybe these individual fonctions are part of bigger more pratical combo filters ?

    maybe i should post my entire script ?
    LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI_2008_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\TTempSm ooth.dll")

    Weave()

    Spline36Resize(720,480)

    for now i'm up to the smoothlevels error solving tasks .. #OK solved

    removedirtmc now ... #OK solved (i think ?)
    removedirt now (no fonction even if it's called)

    someone ?
