Nothing too special, but fantastic as usual ;-) Thanks! EDIT: What software have you used this time? Have you ever thought you can do a YouTube tutorial about it? lol |

Yes I have, but it takes quite a lot to explain it to someone who's new to it. It's not like you open up a program and drop a video on the timeline. If it was only that I'd make a tutorial for you. The thing is that there's no GUI (interface) and you must write a script that is something like this (quick preview of some old script I've kept for some video) - -------------------- DirectShowSource("DWT Buenos Aires Human Nature.VOB") ConvertToYV12() loadplugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\fft3dfilter.dll") lancsoz4resize(720,480) daa() daa() daa() checkmate(24) derainbow(10) ChromaShift(C=-4) FixChromaBleeding() MergeChroma(awarpsharp2(depth=25)) fft3dfilter(sigma=3, bt=5, bw=32, bh=32, ow=16, oh=16, sharpen=0.4) RemoveSpots() sharpen(0.5) tweak(sat=1.2) Grainfactory3(2,2,5) -------------------- I'm not sure I'm a good teacher :P And there's a lot to know about this software, to be honest, I don't even consider myself as experienced in it. There are people out there who actually write plugins for Avisynth which means hundreds of lines of code and vast knowledge of programming and videos in general. All what makes Avisynth so great and powerful software is because of custom plugins these people make. I'm sure that there are plenty of basic tutorials online, the rest is just deciding which plugin you need to fix something specific in your video which also takes time to find what you need to fix and what it's called (for example, rainbowing, chroma bleed etc). |

Ok, it's too difficult! Thanks |

Nice as usually, but I've got a couple of questions to your script 1) Why do you use DirectShowSource for VOB? When I started with Avisynth, which was maybe 10 years ago, I've been told that for mpg2 it's better to frame-index the m2v video with something like DGIndex and load the index file (d2v) with mpeg2source, because DirectShowSource had some problems with mpg files with messed up timecode. To be honest I still do it that way and never bothered to check if it's still true :-) 2) Why do you load a plugin AFTER you load the video? Does it have some advantages? Again, I load plugins at the beginning of the script because that's how I learned it, I don't know if it's effective :-) 3) Why do you resize it to 720x480 and not 720x576? Was your source video NTSC? 4) Did you try something like ColorYUV(autowhite=true)? Because your video is still very red, autowhite corrects it automatically, but even the result would need some manual colour correction Edit - forget question 3, I have now noticed it's not the script you used for THIS video :-) |

Because your video is still very red, autowhite corrects it automatically, but even the result would need some manual colour correction Edit - forget question 3, I have now noticed it's not the script you used for THIS video :-) That script was purely for a sample to show DepeX what a script is. 1) When I started out I found that DirectShowSource works with all VOB / MPEG files I've tried to import. I have tried to import that index file, but I found no purpose whatsoever, it just wasted my time as far as I'm concerned - I don't have to create an index for DirectShowSource. If I come across videos that don't load properly, I'll use index method. 2) I don't think that makes a difference. 3) - 4) No I didn't because I didn't know about autocorrecting method. (I started out with Avisynth way later than you and still don't know a LOT about it :-) Still experimenting around). Another reason I didn't mess with the colour is because I couldn't be bothered - as you said, it needs manual colour correction and each part of the video needs a bit different correction. I wanted to get it done by yesterday evening. Mainly I just tried to reduce some pixels & blocks and make it appear a bit better in quality. |

And the question I forgot to ask - how did you remove the pixelisation? |

pittrek wrote: And the question I forgot to ask - how did you remove the pixelisation? Ok, now I will reveal you a top secret :P - it's a combination of Deblock_QED, MDegrain2, GradFun2db. Any chance you know more videos with transparent watermarks similar to Japanese Jewels or NBC New York '76? I haven't got as vast Queen video collection and I am willing to practise with such videos :-) |

That one with Micheal Jackson And, (last question): Can you give us an upgrade to the Berlin Report 1978? Like you did for the Zurich report... It will be fantastic! - USA tour with M.

Do you think you could get rid of the annoying "Classic Rock Video" watermark from the Uniondale 77 footage? Or the Ivan Kral watermark from New York 75? |

No, because they're not transparent plus the Uniondale logo is wobbly, for this method to work the logos must be steady and transparent so that there are pixels and detail under the logo that can be brought out. If it's not that way, the only way to get rid of non-transparent logo is to make the good old blob with DeLogo which is quite ugly. |

So I'll leave this video to someone else to tinker with :) Here's the footage with Michael Jackson, the result of removal is not as nice as I would have liked, so I won't bother to post it in a separate thread. https://mega.co.nz/#!7MdiSbqD!oArhvoJw5j7_6jqKoIrA87pftVKW5ErDOKBtVTWcJEs http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y418/MouseRapist/vlcsnap-2014-05-17-19h09m02s205_zpsc0208875.png" border="0" alt=" photo vlcsnap-2014-05-17-19h09m02s205_zpsc0208875.png"/> |

Thanks for cleaning. So this was originally a PAL vob file? If so where from? |
