deblocking a video

[themaster1]

I'm looking for a good filter to deblock a couple of frames of a video

I have tested one from msu but the result is not great

Maybe avisynth will save me on this one ... i hope

here is a sample of the video (from retail dvd)



Thanks for your inputs in advance

Ah, that's a tough one. Blocking from very fast change in brightness. Mpeg2 flips out when it has to deal with strobe light looking stuff. Happens on a lot of things, even HD broadcasts. Good luck, although I doubt you'll be happy with any attempt at fixing it. Hope I'm wrong.

if you combine MSU Smart Deblocking with Neat Video, you may manage to make it look better.

Did the neat's license price decrease since i talked about it a while back?

I'll make a few tests with the combo "smart msu deblocking+ neat trial" to see if that's worth getting it.
