Is there any way to make this video look better?

Well you have two choices
Peter Jackson or Truthler
Seriously tho I guess some heavy denoising etc will help but what is the source ?. I do not think this is the official video version. -
It is official, on 1+ Blu-ray.
Worst of all, it's the best looking version publicly available. Other versions are just VHS rips
It's also the only restored part of let it be film that hasn't been destroyed by denosing https://youtu.be/UocEGvQ10OE -

I remuxed it in MKVtoolnix, it took care of the problems
I hear you. It's possible, if you have a decent GPU, to use HW acceleration and perhaps try NLmeans.
My current PC does not, so using CPU only, the implementation in FFmpeg/Handbrake/Vidcoder is really slow.
There have been some interesting results in other threads, in some cases the posters were not exactly forthcoming

Why do I 'hate' these topics
Now I saw that film many moons ago on tv. Never viewed it on VHS or DVD. But they 'exist' sometimes at stupid prices. But I need to see it so, I guess, I will risk the scammy versions (I already own 2 dvd sets of questionable source and a set of the 'Anthology' which might be genuine but there again dem Chinese are clever barstewards) and acquire one.
So I equally guess that the VHS might actually be better than the dvd. But I am not about to chuck the better part of £100 on this. Will take my chances on the dvd and hope they will not be as crappy as they appear to the OP (which could equally be poor PAL to NTSC conversions) -
^^Wasn't there a topic a week or so ago that discussed SAR and DAR which essentiantly, if memory serves, stated that as long as you set a DAR flag of 4:3 even on a 1920*1080 encode you end up with 1440*1080 display.

I don't know why people are abscessed about removing noise, I like watching it the way it is, it reminds me of how the film quality was like back in that era. Minimum restoration like the example above is okay but washing it out to look like modern videos comes at a price.

Personally, I would probably use something like
Code:clip = lostfunc.DeSpot(o=clip) # removing grain using MCDegrain clip = mcdegrainsharp.mcdegrainsharp(clip=clip, frames=3, csharp=0.70, opencl=True)
wanting to get rid of the moving noise while keeping the general flair.
But depending on what you want you could also use something like:
Code:clip = lostfunc.DeSpot(o=clip) clip = lostfunc.DeSpot(o=clip) # adjusting resolution before resizing clip = core.fmtc.resample(clip=clip, w=740, h=540, kernel="lanczos", interlaced=False, interlacedd=False) from vsrealesrgan import RealESRGAN # adjusting color space from YUV420P16 to RGBS for VsRealESRGAN clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.RGBS, matrix_in_s="709", range_s="limited") # resizing using RealESRGAN clip = RealESRGAN(clip=clip, device_type="cuda", device_index=0) # 1480x1080

just stabilising it.. or even better, removing chrominance noise
(basically nearly all filters meant for grain removal)Last edited by Selur; 10th Oct 2021 at 04:57.

@pdr
OOPs. I did not appreciate the 1480 was thinking of 1440
@s-mp
Rather an odd way to grab something from a Blu-ray. If I may add. -
Interesting that so many folks here are obsessing about the grain -- which is part of the nature of the original 16mm this was shot on -- but completely ignoring the huge hair in the gate.

^^ Yeah. It kinda hits you in the eye
One would have thought that Apple would have cleaned it up a bit.
Content-wise I am now a somewhat confused bunny. I located my own BD copy (1 disk version) actually expecting to see the same clip that appears on 'The Anthology'. But it is not. That one is mostly McCartney singing with a few cutaways including the production team. It actually comes over as a promo for the film. The same clip appears on the bootleg dvds I acquired years ago (I suspect that these were made from Anthology)
I have purchased from flea-bay a dvd of 'Let in Be' so I will be curious as to what is on that in this respect. -

All a question how much time you are willing to spend on it.
If you have the time you could also write Avisynth code to just blend or denoise stronger on just that part of the image.
I did have code for that (applying a filter only to a specific rectangle of a frame to only specific frames) years ago, but lost it due to a hdd crash and never hat the modivation to write it again. (but I remember it was a pain to write )
You could also manually edit those few frame in some photo editing software.

So my 'dvd' arrived today. Honestly, I was not expecting much since I discovered after my previously posts that there exists no official dvd releases of this film.
Now the disk I received is a mess but that analysis is beyond this topic. What matters is the video quality and you might agree with me that it does not look too bad - not so happy with the ws conversion but you can not have everything.
Still puzzled why Apple released such crap on their own Blu Ray. -
That LIB.mkv is crap, Wrong aspect ratio, black borders all around, noise bars from probably a x gen tape copy, very blurry ... etc
