Censored parts of a Video, Can you...

[niteghost]

Parts of a Video in Japanese is censored, is there a way I can "Uncensored" those parts?

If you are talking about a 'mosaic' censor mask, very unlikely it would be removable as it is usually burnt into the video.

Maybe if this was STAR TREK or CSI

Yeah, just don't know what the Japanese Video Industry uses [ which I knew], looks like it is digitally censored, showing the pixels , Damn !!

CSI could fix this with a dozen keystrokes, but only if it was reverse reflection in a hubcap from a building window two blocks away.

I've had similar censoring programs which came with a keyword. If you know what the keyword is you can reverse the masking.

[guns1inger]

If it is censored on the fly by a specific playback application then this would work. If it is embedded in the video - encoded with the censorship in place - then you can't undo it. The data that as there is gone.

Of course you could just try squinting at the screen

There's an app called GMask for Jpeg images which can reverse some kinds of scrambling; not likely to be useful for video but I mention it as a curiosity.
