Convolution 3D

[Sillyname]

I've got some tapes to restore that have dropouts. I read that the Convolution3D filter for AVISYNTH will correct this by substituting lines above or below. What I have noticed though is that every guide seems to be saying my final output after filtering will be MPEG2. I need to have my final output in DV, as I will be giving miniDV copies to an editor.

AVISynth just processes the data and hands it to the encoder. The type of output you get depends on what encoder you're using. If you're using an MPEG encoder (like TMPGEnc) you'll get an MPEG file. If you're using an DV AVI encoder (like VirtualDub with DV compresssion) you'll a DV AVI file.

So if I get the Canopus DV encoder, I can output to it?

Depending on what MPEG2 encoder/editor you're using you might be able to open the AVS script directly. For example TMPGEnc can open take the output directly from AVISynth.

Is the Canopus encoder just the codec? If so you'll need a program that lets you open the AVISynth script, select the Canopus DV encoder, then save the results. Try VirtualDub.

I downloaded VirtualDubMod per Fulci's Convolution3D User Guide.
So I should be able to select codecs via VirtualDub? I may buy the Mainconcept DV encoder, if the Canopus DV codec is for playback only. I may have some DV encoder on my system already, though. I can't imagine one didn't come with Mediastudio Pro 7.

Get the panasonic DV codec (link in the codec area of the tools section). It is a VFW codec that virtualdub can use.
