Maincocept avc codecs prefilters

[dogar]

Hi , i have noticed that when i encode my videos with the mainconcept AVC/h2.64 codec (from sony vegas 8) , it does a decent job on the noise reduction.

are there any avisynth or virtualdub filters that i can use to achieve similar results.

i use footage from canon hv30 , canon t2i and flip ultra hd.
i have been trying to figure out the denoising techniques from the last couple of months , trying different filters and posting on forums. but i was always told to first know what type of noise i am trying to remove. the mainconcept codec doesnt ask for any denoising settings , but it doest a good job on all type of video sources.

i really wanna learn this whole noise and denoising stuff , if you can point me to the right direction , where i can start from step 1 and not directly to step 223 which usually happens when i try google or forum posts.

I'll tell you the same thing -- there is no universal "remove noise and make it better" filter.
The filter you need depends on the noise you face.

You need to learn from experience. Post a sample video or look at other posts where people have targetted a specific type of noise
