Why is the line thinner doing this?

[killerteengohan]

I am using a line thinner that I have been using for quite a long time if I ever needed it.

I went to use it today and I noticed something in the encode that I'm not liking.

It's causing a solid white pixel to stay in the top left corner of the video or a solid black pixel and they will not go away and always stay in the same place.

What I am using is this.

awarpsharp(depth=5.0, blurlevel=1)

Any particular reason this filter would be causing that to happen? It seems to go away when I take that out of the script.


If any other information or a screenshot/sample of the source is needed, please just mention it.

does it only affect this video ?
have you tried the updated awarpsharp2 ?

screenshot / sample would help

[killerteengohan]

Nope, it seems to do this to every source I try it on so it's not just this one that it's happening to. I only notice one source so far that it didn't happen to or its at least barely visible if it is there. All other 1080p ones I tried it one, they get the same thing. It's possible it wont happen on every single one, but it looks to be happening pretty commonly if I only see one so far that I don't notice it.


Yes I tried the awarpsharp2 and when I used it like this it wouldnt work and gave me an error.

awarpsharp2(depth=5.0, blurlevel=1)

The named argument "depth" to awarpsharp2 had the wrong type. (I can only assume its used differently and Im not sure what parameter to use. I'll have to look that up)


Here is a screenshot of the white pixel in the top left Im referring to.

I can't reproduce it with awarpsharp2 or awarpsharp on other random videos. If it occurs with everything - maybe there is something wrong with your specific dll version ? Try downloading it again.


Try this, do you get the white pixel top left (or anywhere else) ?

ColorBarsHD(1920,1080)
ConvertToYV12()
awarpsharp(depth=5.0, blurlevel=1)

I don't see that problem with awarpsharp either. It's probably a buggy version of awarpsharp. Try another.

[killerteengohan]

Well heres a copy of the awarpsharp dll I have and have been using.

(Link Deleted)

Try that one perhaps and see if you can replicate it.

What version do you have or recommend? I will try another version of it.
Its possible that its just selective with which sources are going to have that issue.

[killerteengohan]

I tried re-downloading awarpsharp and it seems the only one I can find is aWarpSharp beta 1.zip which I believe is the same thing I'm already using.

The re-download doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Perhaps it just doesnt like 1080p sources that much.

[jagabo]

I downloaded beta 1 and didn't have any problem using it. I also used your sample image and removed the dot with Crop(2,2,0,0).AddBorders(0,0,2,2).ConvertToYV12() and saw no problems with the same awarpsharp.

[killerteengohan]

awarpsharp(depth=5.0, blurlevel=1, thresh=1.0)

For some reason setting thresh=1.0 gets rid of it, but isn't raising it to 1.0 a bad thing? it recommends 0.5

Im not 100% sure what this does even after reading the description. Is raising to 1.0 degrading or going to look worse?


thresh float = 0.5
The bump mapping saturation setting:
A float value of 1.0 means 100% (max). The default value (0.5) is recommended for maximum quality.
If you tweak this setting, keep in mind it will enhance inequality of warping between edges.

[killerteengohan]

I tried cropping it a day or two ago, and no matter what you crop or resize the video to, it gets that pixel in the corner in the final output video.

You can crop it off that picture because its a still image, but not off the video.

I can put up a sample of the video for you try it on when I get back tomorrow and we can see.


Could this issue be caused by a plugin, dll, or filter that's used/called by awarpsharp and that's the reason I am getting the problem and you are not because our plugins are different? Perhaps its other plugins or dll files I have that are used by awarpsharp causing this for me?

I could always share my entire plugin folder for examination.

[jagabo]

I cropped just to get rid of the dot. And then applied awarpsharp to see if a new one would show up. I don't think awarpsharp depends on any other third party filters. It might use some native AviSynth filters that have a problem in the version of AviSynth you're using. I'm using an MT build of 2.60 from a year or two ago.

depth must be an integer in awarpsharp2. blurlevel is blur. All these filters come with instructions. Try reading them.

Did you try the colorbarshd() script above ? Does it occur on that for you?

Post your full script, including source filter

I asked if it affected all sources. Neither jagabo or I can reproduce your problem on random 1920x1080 videos - so upload a source that reproduces the problem in case it's a source issue.

The original awarpsharp version I tested was "awarpsharp_25_dll_20030203". I think this is a mirror for it
http://www.avisynth.nl/users/warpenterprises/files/awarpsharp_5F25_dll_20030203.zip

There are about 3 awarpsharp2 versions, none of them have the problem

The original awarpsharp has problems with green edge pixels on certain non mod16 dimensions (But some people have the problem occur on mod16 dimensions) , so it's not recommended to use the orginal awarpsharp anymore

Yes I tried the colorbars. The colorbars I couldnt see the pixel anymore, but it wasn't my video anymore either, just the colorbars.


I updated awarpsharp2 from the 2009 version to the 2012 version.

For some reason, after I updated the awarpsharp2 from the 2009 version to the 2012 version that can use both the old awarpsharp and the new awarpsharp2, I cant reproduce this issue anymore. So apparently the newer version of awarpsharp2, using it the way I was using the original awarpsharp , has fixed the issue. I even put the older one back in to verify it, and as soon as I put it back in, the issue continued once more.

I'm betting if you took my entire plugins folder as it was, and temporarily replaced it with yours, you would have been able to reproduce the issue.


Thanks for the ideas and attempted help everyone. I'm glad it was a simple fix like it was. Everything is working fine after that plugin update.
