New tool - VapourBox

[StuartCameronCode]

I am rather interesting in this program. We still buy the occasional DVD Box Set and for example I bought the Cannon The Complete Series and Barnaby Jones The Complete Series and I used MakeMKV and then used Vidcoder for deinterlacing and doubling the frame rate so that the videos would play smooth without that window blind and jarring video stuff happening. Would this tool be a better way of doing things? I usually recode the audio along with the video as I have run across lip syn issues if I don't do that. Thank you StuartCameronCOD for this tool and I want to give it a try soon.

If you're ripping interlaced video then the built-in QTGMC deinterlacer will let you double the frame rate natively in the tool. Give it a go, and yell out if you run into sync issues, but from my end it's been working well. I've been deinterlacing VHS tapes to 50fps PAL and the audio sync's been working fine.

Thank you for this information. I will give it a try soon. I won't redo Cannon and Barnaby Jones as I am happy with what Vidcoder did and there are just so many episodes. Thankfully I converted all my VHS that I needed to get done and it is good enough. But I think I might redo some of my other DVD Box Sets.

For me if I was to pass through the audio and just recode the video that is when the lip sync issues would come up via my Vidcoder encode so I just set it to recode the audio as well and that seem to stop the lip sync issues.

I only ever use passthrough and haven’t had any (recent after some fixes) problems with A/V sync. Worth a shot, anyway. Would love to know how it goes .

I've just pushed out a new v0.9.2 release of VapourBox!

Enjoy!

Based off feedback, here's the changes:

Film Restoration Filters
- DeScratch — Remove vertical scratches from scanned film (spatial, single-frame analysis)
- SpotLess — Remove dust, dirt, and temporal spots using motion-compensated median filtering

Chroma Fixes
- Chroma Shift (Y/C Delay) — Precisely align chroma planes with sub-pixel accuracy for analog sources
- Fixed method dropdown showing alongside individual checkboxes in Chroma Fixes

Bug Fixes
- Fixed preview template unconditionally marking clips as field-based, causing resize errors with some filters
- Fixed DeScratch compatibility with field-based clips and non-8-bit formats

And v0.9.3 is out with a hot fix for a path issue when reading from physical DVDs.
