    Dear friends,

    I'm an engineering student and I'm working on projects in the field of 'video restoration' . I require video files with good amount of noise in it ( like grains and lines) to apply in my project. Please provide me if u have d same.

    Regards.

  2. You can easily generate your own noisy clips quite easily by using ffdshow's noise filter. You can adjust the type of noise & frequence of flickering, shaking, lines, chroma/luma noise, etc...

    Just set ffdshow show as the decoder for your source material, and encode to whatever output format you want your clip in. Don't forget to "reset" the noise filter when you're done, or all your directshow encodes and playback will have this "noise" !

    What about searching the net for historical footage? That could be anything from 20 years or more. Try things like presidential inagurations, peace treaty signings, nobel peace prize presentations etc....

    There should be public domain locations for these events. the older the footage is the noiser it should be unless it was shot on film stock instead of by tv crews......

    Unfortunately, most of the archive footage you'll find on the net has been highly processed (either intentionally filtered or simply being over compressed) so it may be of little use to you.

    The archive.org videos are usually from film transfers so they tend to have film related noise (a little film grain, flicker, vignetting, scratches, spots, etc) not video noise.

  7. I certainly didn't mean it as any criticism. I was just pointing out some of the limitations he's likely to find.

    Just a thought: depending on the type of noise desired, use a hand held video camera and shoot in very low light using full zoom, fast panning, and transitions from dark to light areas. Should work wonders on the quality of the images.

  10. And recording analog broadcast from weak stations. With the vacuum cleaner running right next to the capture device!
