Requesting feedback on results from an AviSynth+ script and Hybrid convert

[CharlieTWilburyJr]

Hi all,

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the attached 10 second sample clip. I've learned a lot on how to use AviSynth+ and Hybrid these last few weeks, although for me personally, some of the input language for creating scripts is difficult for me to completely wrap my head around. This particular video has a good deal of motion, and I've tinkered with the script for this video dozens of times to compare outputs. I just don't have the eye to determine its true quality and was hoping for guidance on where I can possibly make improvements?

I'm including the raw capture .avi file, the edited .avi file after using AviSynth+, and the final .mp4 output using Hybrid. I'm still very much a novice (and thus have a great deal of respect for you all who know what you're doing given the hours I've put in), but I haven't see much of a difference in quality after testing lines for a denoiser/degrainer in the script (notably TemporalDegrain2 & MCTemporalDenoise, although the latter only works for me if I include "fixband=false" - which I learned from an older thread on this site). If anyone could give me some pointers or their opinion, I'd be very grateful.

The script I used for the attached video:

AVISource("D:\Source File.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
AssumeTFF()
chubbyrain2()
smoothuv2(radius=7)
QTGMC(preset="fast",TR2=2)
LSFmod(strength=100, Smode=3, Smethod=2, kernel=11)
Stab()
Spline64Resize(640,480)
Prefetch(7)

Thank you - I really do appreciate your guidance. (Side note, I know I still need to crop)

The Hybrid result looks a little over-sharpened to me.

In your script above,
you should have

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)

Aside from ConvertToYV12:

• ChubbyRain2() needs to be called with 'interlaced=true' or moved behind the deinterlacer.
• Smoothuv2 needs to be called with 'interlaced=1' or moved behind the deinterlacer.

Why is the source "Raw Capture.avi" RGB ?
