Yep, you're both right. It's Avisynth's builtin TemporalSoften, but toned down a little. It was used in the earlier scripts but was called twice. That looked like too much to me. I'm due back in Tennessee later today, will retrieve those scripts and mine as well. Sorry for misnaming. I type that filter's name incorrectly half the time myself, then wonder what happened, LOL.

Yeah the previous scripts really overfiltered the video in my opinion. It was like watching Cher anime.
-
I used about half the steps and filters. Meanwhile I'm still not home, stuck here in an airport. I can't tweak any more for now, but my sister emailed me a copy of the scripts I used for the posted mkv.
Frame 225 before and after. It's a toughie. Looks soft to begin with, probably on purpose. A soft image under an ocean of hard noise. The original already shows signs of blocky noise and banding that you'd get after encoding, so I used lots of dithering. There's still some rainbow leftovers, and top and right border stains. You can throw more plugins at it, but Cher would disappear. I noticed that some of those shiny specs were removed by the fsn filter.
The avs prep script uses elements of the dither plugin (Dither.avs, mt_xxpand_multi.avs, avstp.dll, dither.dll, and the special 16-bit version of mt_masktools-26.dll). The first line sets up up the FSN.vdf VirtualDub plugin.
Code:LoadVirtualDubPlugin("C:\Program Files\VirtualDub\Plugins\fsn.vdf", "FSN",1) AViSource(path to Chershowretry1darker.avi) ColorYUV(off_y=-8) SmoothLevels(12, 0.95, 255,15,250,chroma=200,limiter=0,tvrange=true,dither=100,protect=6) HQdering() AssumeTFF().QTGMC(preset="fast",EZDenoise=2) Cnr2("xxx",4,5,255) MergeChroma(FFT3DFilter(bt=3,plane=3)) ChromaShift(c=2) crop(20,0,-8,-4).AddBorders(14,0,14,4) Spline16Resize(360,480) TemporalSoften(3,3,8,15,2) Spline64Resize(720,480) DeBlock_QED() MergeChroma(awarpSharp2(depth=30)) GradFun2dbmod(thr=1.8,mask=false) grainfactory3(g1str=2, g2str=2, g3str=2).AddGrainC(1.5, 1.5) Dither_convert_yuv_to_rgb(matrix="601",interlaced=false,tv_range=true,cplace="MPEG2",lsb_in=false,output="rgb32") FSN(90,80,0,0,1)
NeatVideo:
- video scan type: progressive
- temporal filter: radius 2, threshold 20
- low-quality noise profile from deinterlaced frame 425 (yellow)
- noise reduction amounts: high 20, Mid 40, Low 40, Y 20, Cb 30, Cr 30
- Sharpen: High 60, Mid 5, Low 0
ColorMill:
levels = Dark -4, Middle +2, Light +5
Saturation: Dark 12, Mid 12, Light 12
Reinterlace and back to YV12, add anti-banding grain after all the previous smoothers, touch up some mild jaggies and add a light detail sharpener I picked up on Doom9:
Code:AviSource(= RGB .avi output from VirtualDub) Dither_convert_rgb_to_yuv(matrix="601",interlaced=false,tv_range=true,cplace="MPEG2",lsb=false,output="YV12") GradFun3(thr=0.5,mask=0) AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEvery(4,0,3).Weave() Santiag() FineSharp(sstr=0.02) addgrainc(2.0,2.0)

It's part of the dither plugin package, a big fav nowadays for ugly banding and block noise. I load a couple of its parts as "avs" scripts, but they come packaged as .avsi. I just don't like to load and search every plugin in sight every time Avisynth starts running. It's listed at http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters, but that will lead you to the big doom9 thread on the filter at http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1386559&postcount=3. All the dither stuff I used in the script came out of the original scripts from earlier. All the parts needed were listed in post #93:
The avs prep script uses elements of the dither plugin (Dither.avs, mt_xxpand_multi.avs, avstp.dll, dither.dll, and the special 16-bit version of mt_masktools-26.dll).
EDIT: Oops, you beat me to it. They don't call me Slowpoke Rodriguez for nothin'. -
I'm not sure why but when encoding this last script to DVD through avspmod I keep getting an error at the authoring of the DVD:
video = AVISource("C:\Users\User\Desktop\chershowretrysamp le.avi")
audio = WAVSource("C:\Users\User\Desktop\chershowretrysamp le2.wav")
#DelayAudio(last, 0.2)
AudioDub(video, audio)
Dither_convert_rgb_to_yuv(matrix="601",interlaced= false,tv_range=true,cplace="MPEG2",lsb=false,outpu t="YV12")
GradFun3(thr=0.5,mask=0)
AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEvery(4,0,3).We ave()
Santiag()
FineSharp(sstr=0.02)
addgrainc(2.0,2.0) -
What's the error?
I'm not much help here. I don't use Avspmod, and I use standalone authors.
Don't know if your original code looks exactly like that in the above post, but there are unwanted spaces in the word "sample" in lines 1 and 2, and a space in the word "Weave" in line 7.- My sister Ann's brother -
I think I may have found the issue but I'm not entirely sure how to fix it. There was a slight delay in the audio for whatever reason and rather than adding delayaudio to my script i just added 0.2 second silence before the audio starts. Which would intern make the audio clip end 0.2 seconds after the video has ended.

According to the log, the video is the problem
Code:sp r/fr non-spec resolution / framerate combination.
What are you using to encode ? -
Current script:
video = AVISource("C:\Users\User\Desktop\chershowretrysamp le.avi").FadeOut2(35)
audio = WAVSource("C:\Users\User\Desktop\chershowretrysamp le2.wav")
AudioDub(video, audio)

FineSharp(sstr=0.02)
addgrainc(2.0,2.0) -
So change the frame rate to 30000/1001. Unlike AVI, MPEG 2 encoding is restricted to a handful of frame rates. It sounds like 29.9697 isn't close enough for your encoder.
-
I added AssumeFPS("ntsc_video") at the end. Hopefully this does the trick.

I just did a direct stream video and audio from virtual dub and did a short sample. Opening with MPC it gave an error. If I went back to "full processing" and compressed the clip with lagarith yv12 or uncompressed the resulting avi sample loaded right up in MPC and TMPGEnc
-
Not a decoding issue. If you can preview the .avs in vdub, that means you have the lagarith codec installed and working properly
avstodvd doesn't even "see" the lagarith file. All it "sees" is the uncompressed data frameserved from the avs script
Did you check the m2v file ?
Post the avstodvd log file
That doesn't necesarily indicate much. That just means you don't have MPC set up to decode uncompressed YV12. In full processing mode, it will be converted to RGB, so uncompressed RGB -
