Enhancing PSX FMV's with Avisynth

[SecretAshe]

Hi everyone,

I've been using Avisynth for a while and got the gist of it, but I've mostly been tinkering with HD content. However I'm now interested in seeing what it can do with very low quality content as well as find out what (and where) its limits are.

I'm trying to get the best out of this.



These are my results so far: NNEDI3 // SuperResXbr
And this is the script:

FFVideoSource("sample.avi")
ConvertToYV12(matrix="Rec601", interlaced=false)
SmoothD2(quant=3, num_shift=4, Matrix=3, Qtype=2, ZW=4, ZWce=1, ZWlmDark=0, ZWlmBright=255, ncpu=1)
VagueDenoiser(threshold=2, method=3, nsteps=4, chromaT=2.0)
crop(0, 6, 0, -6)
#SuperResXBR(Passes=2, Str=1, Soft=0, XbrStr=1, XbrSharp=1, PlanarOut=false)
#SuperResXBR(Passes=2, Str=1, Soft=0, XbrStr=1, XbrSharp=1, PlanarOut=false)
#nnedi3_nnedi3_rpow2(rfactor=4, cshift="spline16resize")
LSFmod(strength=820, Smode=2, ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, edgemaskHQ=true)
DeHalo_Alpha(rx=1.0, ry=1.0, darkstr=0.5, brightstr=0.3, lowsens=20, highsens=100, ss=1.5)
flash3kyuu_deband_f3kdb()

What can I improve?

Do not waste a lifetime waiting for Godot.

Levels + Tweak (native Avisynth) is all you need.
