Avisynth-make scripts for VirtualDub

[SerbianBoss]

A note about Convolution3D ...

The YV12 version is "crippled" in that it does no Temporal filtering as does the YUY2 version.

I think that you right. Temporal filtering is turned off in yv12 version of Convolution 3d filter.
Because when i try yv12 version in CCE i have speed 1.13(50% faster than convolution yuy2 version).

So, i think that Convolution yuy2 version is much better than Convolution yv12, because yuy2 version work with spatial and temporal filtering, and yv12 work with spatial filtering.

My problem is that i always need to put ConvertToYuY2(interlaced=true) in my scripts because Canopus 110 capture Dv avi in RGB24 mode.

I trayed with Removegrain mode=2 script in virtual dub and got 40-50 fps. Picture is ok but is little smooth, and with mode=1 i have little artifacts.

So question is:
Because all my captures is in RGB24 does is better to convert to yuy2 or yv12 ?(for making dvd, 720x576,25fps)

Depends on the MPEG-2 encoder you use. CCE takes YUY2, TMPGEnc takes RGB24, and Hank's Encoder takes YV12. Don't know about the others.

I am using CCE for encoding. So it better to work with yuy2 ?

[manono]

Probably, a little bit. If you can capture or whatever you're doing, in YUY2, and if the filters can work in YUY2, then no colorspace conversions will be necessary to get the video into CCE.

[SerbianBoss]

I always work with DV avi materials captured via Canopus 110. And always work with CCE

And that DV avi materials are RGB24.

So when i make avisynth script i always must to do ConverToYUY2(interlaced=true) at the beginig of my script.

In that way is better to work with YUY2 or YV12 ?

[manono]

OK, I see. YUY2 will be better, as then you only do the conversion once. If you convert to YV12, then either you or CCE will have to convert it back to YUY2.

[SerbianBoss]

ok, that i was like to know what is better.

I have few questions,

1. Where in this scripts to put limited sharpen or limitted sharpen faster. I now want to keep interlaced movie, because now from these script i want to make dvd.

I here that limited sharpen is design for progressive materials, so where in these script to put limited sharpen and keep interlace if is possible ?

LoadPlugin("Convolution3d.dll")
avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Nenad\My Documents\movie.avi")
crop(8,4,-8,-12)
ConvertToYuY2(interlaced=true)
SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd.Convolution3D (1, 32, 128, 16, 64, 10, 0)
evn=SelectEven.Convolution3D (1, 32, 128, 16, 64, 10, 0)
Interleave(evn,odd)
Weave()
AddBorders(8,8,8,8)

LoadPlugin("DeGrainMedian.dll")
avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Nenad\My Documents\movie.avi")
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
crop(8,4,-8,-12)
degrainmedian(interlaced=true)
AddBorders(8,8,8,8)

2. What is difference between limited sharpen and limited sharpen faster? Which is better?

3.When using limited sharpen does is better to use old or new masktool.dll ?
