Remove white spots?

[jwbrasil2]

How can I automatic remove those white spots from a VHS captured movie? I tried after effects film fix and virtual dub spots remover but they can't see those as scratches. Then I tried the filter pops.vdf and it can see those as scratches in debug mode but it doesn't have a fine tune action like after effects has and it can't remove all the spots.

You need depulse, for use with avisynth. Do you know how to use avisynth? It's easy; go to www.avisynth.org and download it (version 2.6a3 is fine), then write a text file like this (call it fixcomets.avs):

avisource("youfile.avi")
converttoyuy2(interlaced=true)
DePulse(h=74, l=12, d=255, debug=true)

This is just to start - it won't fix your video immediately, but it shows you where it *would* remove problems. You adjust the parameters until most streaks are marked, then remove the debug=true;
DePulse(h=xx, l=xx, d=xx)
And now you can see the cleaned video.

Yes DePulse() works for "comets" like those pictured in this post:

Is there a blend=off option? I want to copy the pixels from the nearest good neighbors without any interpolation.
Something like what's shown here:
