Noisy bottom on converted VHS tape and other things

[jagabo]

Here's a version of the script that in-fills only one line of each field, except for the right ~1/4 of the frame where 5 lines are filled after deinterlacing (as before).

#  Infill a number of lines with data interpolated from the line above
#  and the line below.  For example, InFilllines(4, 2) will fill lines
#  4 and 5 with data interpolated from lines 3 and 6.

##########################################################################

function InFillLines(clip v, int ypos, int yheight, float "opacity")
{
    opacity = default(opacity, 1.0)

    v24 = ConvertToYV24(v)
    top = v24.Crop(0, ypos-1, -0, 1)
    bot = v24.Crop(0, ypos+yheight, -0,1)
    patch = StackVertical(top,bot).BilinearResize(v.width, yheight+2).Crop(0,1,-0,-1).Blur(1.5)
    Overlay(v24, patch, x=0, y=ypos, opacity=opacity)
    ConvertToYV12()
}

right = InFillLines(561,5).Crop(560, 560, -0, 6)

You can hardly see that two lines have been infilled on the left 3/4 of the frame.

I can play all of the options on standard VHS tapes. I can't see the quality of the 3D DNR.
S-VHS ON on frontside, S-Video Out on backside, is the same as
S-VHS ON on frontside, Normal on backside, is the same as
S-VHS OFF on frontside, S-Video Out on backside, is the same as
S-VHS OFF on frontside, Normal on backside
and also 3D DNR=ON is the same as 3D DNR=OFF


jagabo:
1. AmarecTV 3.10 and output to test.avi
2. AvsPmod 2.7.3.2 -> deinterlacing.avs.
deinterlacing.avs is the same folder as test.avi video file
3. Failed on LWlibavVideoSource("test.avi"): Script error: There is no function named 'LWlibavVideoSource'

Any time you get that message it means you need a 3rd party filter. Google for "AviSynth filtername" and you'll usually find the missing filter.

In this case it's the LSMASHSource filter:

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSMASHSource

Download it and put the dll or avsi file(s) in AviSynth's plugins folder(s).

- On the SVHS player on a TV it is just fine on the video (from SCART SVHS to SCART TV), but noisy bottom on converting to computer with different cables.
- On playing SVHS player on a computer, it is exactly the same on connecting to a) AV1(TV1)/S-Video Out, b) AV1(TV1)/Normal and c) AV2(DECODER/EXT).
- All the plugins in 64-bits and all the version numbers is the newest, if I understand it correctly.
- On QTGMC preset, I am using Slower variable, for I had to stress about it again with Very Slow and Ultra Fast.
- Using deinterface on QTGMC, not deinterlace on QWinFF
- Input is "Recording - 0003.mpg", output is "out.mp4".

What is the command you use for AviSynth? Can I use 'ffmpeg -i InFillLines.avs out.mp4' ?
How can I record the video on AvsPmod?
It is still disturbing bottom in the video on out.mp4. And there is no sound on out.mp4.
