How to deal with this frame blending situation?

[xuguang_he]

A2 = last
A2 = A2.QTGMC(Preset="slow", FPSDivisor=2)
TDeint(edeint=A2,emask=TMM(mode=0),slow=2,chroma=true,MI=80,full=false,cthresh=9)

looks fine here

Thank you very much, this code surely works tremendously fine on my source

I've put my script this way in order to apply different filters to different section of the movie.

But MeGUI report error:



Got no idea what has been wrong since I've followed the structions in this post.

[Selur]

problem is that SelectEven() /SelectOdd()is fed with the default parameter (last as clip)
-> you can't write it like that

replacing:

vid1 = v.trim(0,123967).AssumeTFF().QTGMC(Preset="fast", SourceMatch=2, InputType=0, ProgSADMask=0, sharpness=0.2, TR0=2, TR1=0, TR2=0, MatchEdi2="Bob", MatchEnhance=0.8, Denoiser="fft3dfilter", NoiseProcess=2, EZKeepGrain=1.0, Sigma=15, GrainRestore=0.4, NoiseRestore=0.2, NoiseDeint="Generate", StabilizeNoise=true).Merge(SelectEven(),SelectOdd()).RemoveDirtMC(30,false).Masked_DHA()
vid2 = v.trim(123968,124027).AssumeTFF().TFM().QTGMC(Preset="fast", SourceMatch=2, InputType=0, ProgSADMask=0, sharpness=0.2, TR0=2, TR1=0, TR2=0, MatchEdi2="Bob", MatchEnhance=0.8, Denoiser="fft3dfilter", NoiseProcess=2, EZKeepGrain=1.0, Sigma=15, GrainRestore=0.4, NoiseRestore=0.2, NoiseDeint="Generate", StabilizeNoise=true).Merge(SelectEven(),SelectOdd()).RemoveDirtMC(30,false).Masked_DHA()
vid3 = v.trim(124028,239355).AssumeTFF().QTGMC(Preset="fast", SourceMatch=2, InputType=0, ProgSADMask=0, sharpness=0.2, TR0=2, TR1=0, TR2=0, MatchEdi2="Bob", MatchEnhance=0.8, Denoiser="fft3dfilter", NoiseProcess=2, EZKeepGrain=1.0, Sigma=15, GrainRestore=0.4, NoiseRestore=0.2, NoiseDeint="Generate", StabilizeNoise=true).Merge(SelectEven(),SelectOdd()).RemoveDirtMC(30,false).Masked_DHA() vid1 ++ vid2 ++ vid3

with in example:

v = v.AssumeTFF()
vid1 = v.trim(0,123967)
vid2 = v.trim(123968,124027).TFM()
vid3 = v.trim(124028,239355)
vid1 ++ vid2 ++ vid3
QTGMC(Preset="fast", SourceMatch=2, InputType=0, ProgSADMask=0, sharpness=0.2, TR0=2, TR1=0, TR2=0, MatchEdi2="Bob", MatchEnhance=0.8, Denoiser="fft3dfilter", NoiseProcess=2, EZKeepGrain=1.0, Sigma=15, GrainRestore=0.4, NoiseRestore=0.2, NoiseDeint="Generate", StabilizeNoise=true)
Merge(SelectEven(),SelectOdd())
RemoveDirtMC(30,false)
Masked_DHA()

should work

[xuguang_he]

Thank you, it works perfectly well

[xuguang_he]

May I ask a further question?

If I find that frame 123967 and frame 123968 are same, how could I remove one of them? Should these two be regarded as duplicate frames? I just want to remove the certain frame 123968, just this one frame.

[Selur]

since it's at the end of your 1st trim:
vid1 = v.trim(0,123967)
simply use
vid1 = v.trim(0,123966)
instead

[jagabo]

A2 = last
A2 = A2.QTGMC(Preset="slow", FPSDivisor=2)
TDeint(edeint=A2,emask=TMM(mode=0),slow=2,chroma=true,MI=80,full=false,cthresh=9)

looks fine here

Thank you very much, this code surely works tremendously fine on my source

It left a lot of small comb artifacts when I tried it. And near horizontal edges weren't as smooth.

This works fairly fine, thanks.
But for a few duplicate frames which are not at the edge of my trim part, how could I clear them out? Just a few, not much.

Keep in mind that simply removing the frame will change the runtime of the video. If you mux with the original audio the video and audio will no longer be in sync.

I may haven't noticed that
But to be honest, TFM() seems more simple. Especially when I do trim() just apply the code to this few seconds.

Oh... I've forgot this important matter. Thank you for informing. It seems that I shouldn't do too much extra work on this kind of bootleg source, maybe just deinterlaced and make sure there are no blended frames are enough. Too much extra effort may lead to unexpected result... isn't it?

[manono]

Too much extra effort may lead to unexpected result... isn't it?

If the duplicate frame bothers you, you can always interpolate to create a new frame to replace the duplicate. There's lots of information on this site about how to interpolate frames (create new frames using the good ones on either side) here on Videohelp. When I come across duplicate frames that's what I do.

But, as jagabo said, you don't want to simply remove the frame.

[xuguang_he]

May I ask If this code is wrong? A few frames was repeated two times and go on ...

Trim(1,0)

[xuguang_he]

Sometimes you need to apply different settings to different sections, different filter, or different approach entirely . QTGMC is a temporal filter and known to cause blends

And may I ask how to apply different settings to one source? (Searching through the forum, I've learnt to use Trim(), but the preview in MeGUI seems miserable, the ending of the film comes to the middle and the length of the film increased to 5 hours!!! Totally horrible.)

I'm ripping movies, so there is audio included. Is Trim() still available for this kind of situation?

Search on how to apply different filters to different sections, there are many approaches and they are discussed in great detail with examples. e.g trim() with aligned splice, replaceframessimple() , clipclop() to name a few. The lenghts are unchanged when you use them properly


Trim works on audio as well , if you include in your script e.g. audiodub()

 
vid=mpeg2source()
aud=nicac3source()
audiodub(vid,aud)
trim(500,1000)

This would return frames 500-1000 with audio



e..g

 
orig=whateversource()
 
orig
trim(0,100)
filter1()
a=last
 
orig
trim(100,0)
filter2()
b=last
 
a++b

This would apply filter1 to 0-100, filter2 to 100-end, same length as original

This is my script, I've done a test followed your instructions of apply different settings on different sections of a source. I want to trim away the first frame of the source. So, I modified the script. But there seems to be a mistake. I noticed the following changes in the sources when I look into the test rip. Please noticed the second capture, it becomes odd since it originally supposed to be a very natural fade in. And the original source don't have this problem. It occurs just after I change the script.

What was the script before you changed it ?

You 're not applying different settings to anything with that script - everything is applied to the whole video

That's what your script does . Are you saying if you remove trim(1,0) the artifacts are gone ?

It will look the same in terms of artifacts whether or not you include trim. The damage is probably caused by your other filter Masked_DHA . Remove that.

Yeah, it surely works. I just wondered the reason.
This filter works fine on all the sources I've met with. I don't think this one is a speciality.
