temporal and spatial filtering

[snafubaby]

Does anyone have any tips on temporal and spatial filtering? My video capture device's software has settings for both. I understand it's used for capturing old, damaged videos. Can it perform similiar to a Time base corrector, where it may help clean up videos? Can anyone give me any tips on setting these?

The temporal setting goes from 0 to 255, and the spatial setting goes from 0 to 7. I have several very old, 20 year old tapes that i wanna capture to DVD. If it won't help, then i'll be purchasing a TBC soon. For now, i will give it a whirl.


Any help would be appreciated!

thanks

Cleaning up the pictures while recording require too much resources, this is good for a "watch only" purpose.

Maybe if you got a very strong cpu that'll work otherwise = lot of dropped frames

If you wanna clean up your tape you should do it after capturing the video

msu has a very good filter or there is "neat video" too (not free)

And to conlude: a tbc has nothing to do with such denoiser filter

Agree with themaster. Those kinds of filters will soften your footage, quite a lot if you overdo it. Better to capture first so you have a source you can go back while you experiment with settings. I did a lot of fooling around with these kinds of filters before arriving at the conclusion that in most cases they weren't necessary.

Remember, what you see on a computer monitor is NOT what you will see on a TV with your finished project. Don't fall into the trap of adjusting video for your monitor unless you intend to watch the video on the computer ONLY.
