How do I get NLmeans to work using ffmpeg? Where do I "install" NLmeans?

[strawberryshortcake]

Intro: I followed this video to install FFMPEG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcdTIDHm4KM


Side Note: I followed the instructions in this video to create a .bat file. All I have to do is have copy this .bat file into the folder with videos that I want to convert, double click on the .bat file and it'll start the ffmpeg cmd conversion. Very simple.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=696ACV7gBG8&t=42s



The issue:
Even though I've read that NLmeans is slow, I wanted to check it out because of the results seen here. Even if I don't get the same results, I want to give NLmeans a test run:
http://www.dirk-farin.net/projects/nlmeans/index.html

The guy in the link above told me to go to github to retrieve something, but I really have no clue what to do with Github. Just looks like mumbo jumbo. Don't know what to do.
https://github.com/farindk/ffmpeg


I also downloaded a NLmeans.dll from this thread, but I don't know where to put the .dll file. Don't even know if it is the proper .dll file either. NLMeansCL_netautoload.dll
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=158925


This is the code/command. I'm not sure how to get (-vf nlmeans) to work. Doesn't work.
and I get the error: No such filter "NLmeans" Error opening filters!
if not exist Convertedfiles md Convertedfiles
for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -re -y -i "%%a" -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -tune animation -crf 24 -vf nlmeans -acodec copy "Convertedfiles\%%~na.mp4"
pause



I even tried it with the command window and simply typed the command line below and still doesn't work, same error:
ffmpeg -i input.avi -vf nlmeans output.avi



The following denoise filter (-vf hqdn3d) works though.
if not exist Convertedfiles md Convertedfiles
for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -re -y -i "%%a" -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -tune animation -crf 24 -vf hqdn3d -acodec copy "Convertedfiles\%%~na.mp4"
pause

github is only if you want to compile from the source (build it yourself, takes a long time, even with autobuild scripts)

You can download precompiled windows binaries from zeranoe . nlmeans is included. There is nothing to install, it's a single "portable" exe if you download a "static" build

Unfortunately still didn't work. Still getting the same "No such filter: nlmeans" Error opening filters.

I downloaded the static version. The blue tab (download build).
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

I followed the installation video in my very first post.
The new ffmpeg download (blue tab) is about 181mb (44 files)
The old ffmpeg download that I had is about 113mb (44 files)

You can try the version here at videohelp.com, I just tried it and the filter is there

Maybe I'm not installing or replacing or doing something wrong. I basically just copied and pasted the "stuff' from the zips files into the folder just like the video in my first post instructed. 1st is the original, 2nd is the version poisonsdeathray suggest, and then now what you see is the 32bit version you suggested. For some reason, I still can't get it to work ...

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -nlmeans output.mp4


Note: I already have ffmpeg command window encoding some files (does this make a difference). Should I stop the encoding process on those?

[poisondeathray]

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -nlmeans output.mp4

You would need to fill in the rest of the command line . And it should be "-vf nlmeans" , not -nlmeans

e.g

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf nlmeans -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a copy output.mp4

[strawberryshortcake]

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -nlmeans output.mp4

You would need to fill in the rest of the command line . And it should be "-vf nlmeans" , not -nlmeans

e.g

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf nlmeans -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a copy output.mp4

Unfortunately, still didn't work.

Oops, I typed it incorrectly in my above post. I did try it again, I copied and pasted the version you recommended as well as the 3rd version (32bit) into the folder like how the guy did it in the installing tutorial. And filled the command line with the corresponding video title, and unfortunately it still didn't work.

It's working here.

Post the full console output . In the command line box, you an right click select all, then right click will copy . Paste the text

Your environment variable might be referring to a ffmpeg version that does not have nlmeans .

Start over. Delete the environment variable. Place a copy of ffmpeg.exe into the same folder as the video to be converted. Or specify the correct path precisely of the ffmpeg.exe executable that works . You need to make sure you can get 1 working before you attempt to batch or set your environment variable

Look at the version and date . A recent binary should say 2000-2018 . So you are using and calling the older one

nlmeans did not make it into ffmpeg until much later


You can explicitly call a specific ffmpeg version by specifying the path for ffmpeg.exe

eg , if ffmpeg.exe that you want to use was located in C:\folder\

"C:\folder\ffmpeg.exe" -i video.mp4 -vf nlmeans -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a copy output.mp4

[strawberryshortcake]

So the following looks like it works, but it required me copying and pasting the ffmpeg.exe into the folder with all the videos. Then I deleted ffmpeg.exe from the same folder, ran command and it didn't work.

Is there a way that I don't have to have ffmpeg.exe in the same folder as the videos because I following the directions in this video got ffmpeg always working.

I tried deleting the environmental variable, etc. etc. already and redoing the steps in the video with the ffmpeg that you suggested, and still not quite working. In order to get it nlmeans to work, i need to copy and paste it into the folder with all the videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcdTIDHm4KM

This is where the original ffmpeg.exe application is located.


I also have this going so I figured this would be enough.

Is there a way that I don't have to have ffmpeg.exe in the same folder as the videos because I following the directions in this video got ffmpeg always working

Yes. See the post #10 above about specifying the ffmpeg path

Or you can setup the environment variable correctly

For the environment variable - The path should not include the executable. It should only be the path, no quotes.

I have mine setup as a system variable, not a user variable

Finally working when I deleted the ffmpeg.exe (about 30mb) within the folder called ImageMagick and replaced it with the version of ffmpeg.exe (about 60mb) you mentioned/inked above.

For some reason, I don't now what it is, but I guess typing ffmpeg -version kept pointing to the ffmpeg.exe 30mb file or something. Windows search for "ffmpeg" open file location and opened the following folder.
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q16


Now I can simply type ffmpeg in the command window and use the -vf nlmeans filter works. Side note: also for some reason having quote in the path didn't really make a difference.

EDIT: Also wanted to say thanks. appreciative, but looks like using -vf nlmeans does encode extremely slow at about 1.7 FPS. We'll see if I even want to use it as a denoiser.

EDIT: FPS up to about 2.6, but maybe because I also have MeGUI encoding as well. But I'll see how the results of the nlmeans default setting turns out.

This is where the original ffmpeg.exe application is located.

I also have this going so I figured this would be enough.

Even though I have nlmeans working, I’m still curious as to why the environmental path or whatever it’s called isn’t working. The first image shows the location of ffmpeg application. Even though I’m swapping out the different versions of ffmpeg, it does nothing. Having the updated ffmpeg (60mb) version in the bin folder doesn’t update in the cmd command prompt when I type ffmpeg -version. It’s still the 2015 version. But when I swap out the ffmpeg (30 mb) located in the Imagemagick folder with ffmpeg (60mb), then it works.... by typing ffmpeg -version ... shows 2018 version.

You have another environment variable that tells windows to look in the Imagemagick directory . I don't know how it works in terms of priority but it's probably looking there first. You might have to clean up your variables, or organize it differently

In addition to specifying specific paths in your commandline, you can also rename ffmpeg.exe to indicate different versions. For example , a common distinction is x86 and x64. You need to use the x64 version for x64 programs, but some x86 programs and pipelines still require the x86 version. For me, I rename my x86 version because I use the x64 version more frequently

Sometimes there are specific versions that do specific things or build with different libraries (I have multiple versions, some of them need to be compiled separately because they contain "non free" or non distributed libraries), so to distinguish between multiple versions on the same system you need to keep things in order or have a way of using the version you want specifically
