Need help with low quality DVD

[Bh4i]

Im facing "problems" with the film "Shola Aur Shabnam" (Bollywood/1992). I have the DVD9 from this DVD, and quality is everything except good: dark, extreme noise etc (see pics).

I played a little bit, but couldnt find any good filters to do this job. The best working script is FFT3DFilter. But it takes a huge amount of time... it only runs with 5 fps for the first pass :scared: But it does give good results.

So i wud like to ask if someone can help me. Any suggestion which plugins to use? Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe HDRagc() to remove the dark areas?

This is the script i currently have:


DGDecode_mpeg2source("F:\shola aur shabnam\VIDEO_TS\Rip\VTS_01_1.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
edeintted = last.AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
TDeint(order=1,edeint=edeintted)

crop( 12, 64, -14, -66)

LanczosResize(640,352) # Lanczos (Sharp)
FFT3DFilter(sigma=3, sharpen=0.5, interlaced=true)

Hi-

It's standard PAL2NTSC field-blended junk, just like maybe 90% of the classic Indian films on DVD that I've seen. The RePAL filter does a good job of unblending it, and is much better than just deinterlacing it, no matter how good the deinterlacer.

Yes, it needs the ColorMatrix filter. For the dark stuff, I usually lower the contrast first, followed by Didee's YLevelsS function, followed by a real Levels to set the min and max luma levels right again. The HDRAGC filter can also do it, I guess.
