Hi

I recently started to work with Avisynth filters converting DV to x264(mp4) for online showing . Least I can say I have been impressed with the possibilitys but so much so I am overwhelmed and at times very confused .
I am using Staxrip and some functions I made to do certain things the way I want it ( logos , stopwatch etc) .

but I would like your expert advice on the flow of processing ( order ) and filters you think might be usefull . Yes I did a lot of searching and found a lot of information that its mindboggling and some are old too so I woudl love feedback on the current availability of filters and processes and tweaks to get a good result .

footage is ntsc DV often very fast moving action around 1 minute in duration
Get it online for viewing same framesize (saw one has to resize to 640x480) to get correct proportions of subjects

so far I have (avisynth):
opened the source with Avisource and Directshow (which is the prefered way ? )
ConvertToYV12()
SeparateFields()
HDRAGC(min_gain = 1.0, coef_sat = 2) (helped some footage becasue of the backgrounds or sunlight things etc
Weave()
**-- often need a good slowmotion and happy with the below
BOB()
fr=29.97
slowfact=1
smoothfps(fr*slowfact)
assumefps(29.97)
**--
Yadif()
LanczosResize(640,480)

I have a hard time seeing little differences but like to hear what your experience have been and hwat I might do to make results even better

output x264 (mp4)
been playing wiht various settings there also but as said am far from expert on a good setting .
I do however use a bitrate of 1500 wich seems to give a good proportion filesize (av 10 MB) quality for online viewing
what are you experiences on tweaking the settings
Btw I noticed that playbak does not really allow me to go frame by fram or is this to much overkill given the filesize quality aspects ?

my apologies if some of the terms are wrong , but I am learning wink.gif

appreciate your feedback
Guy
