Despot and Descratch combination for 8mm film transfer

Just a filter efficiency note - you should crop before applying filters, it will be faster, less memory
(you can crop progressive footage without limitations, or mod2 if YV12)

Don't use DirectShowSource() when using temporal filtering, you can get mixed up frames and inconsistent results . I would use FFMS2 FFVideoSource() instead

I tried that i thought that the cropping is messing up that's why i tried the cropping later but without effect, temporal filters did mess up before filtering it is very comm and smooth after it you see the results in the upload.

Do you have some advice for me concerning the original footage which is 1280x720 h264 mp4 file should i filter directly or bring to avi first. I tried ffmpeg cannot get it to work i downloaded the plugin and avsi script i call ffmpeg it is in the filter lists in avspmode but cannot load the file.
i tried FFmpegSource(source="C:\Users\Atila\Desktop\HDV_00 28.MP4") and FFmpegSource("C:\Users\Atila\Desktop\HDV_0028.MP4" ) no function named ffmeg

any thoughts

Unzip and place the .dll and .avsi in plugins folder

FFVideoSource("video.mp4")

You can minimize that by using the faster shutter speeds. What you really want to do is coordinate the camcorder exposure with the projector. But you can't do that with your setup.

Why not jagabo and what do i need.

Today i borrowed another camera dv cannon d110 35x zoom 720x576 bought cassette and firewire cable but it seems that my pc windows 7 64x cannot recognize the camera can it be that the port is burnt or my port on the pc is burnt.
Anyway i captured trough video out analog to vdub 720x576i then tomsmocomp smart bobed and used fred script I think it is better on the color clips then with my old camera and in pair with hd mp4 camera ( and that is without using the digital connection ) but still something is missing like the cameras cant be as sharp as the projected picture i don't know why

You need the ability to trigger the camera's shutter from the projector's blade. This will generate 1 frame of video for each frame of film (or 2 frames of video for each frame of film with a double gate blade).

With your current setup you can try using fast shutter speeds with a wide aperture. That will reduce the number of double exposure fields or frames. But you will get more flicker.

How should i do that

wide aperture

with that you mean i can get more focus on the "box" from the projector and the sidelines will be blurred. How can i do that on the camera ( both of them ) i didn't find such setting I think both have programs ( presets) that do the job I am not sure.
I tried before with bigger shutter speeds and it didn't looked good i will experiment more with it
Thanks jagabo
