Procoder AVS Filters???

[beviet]

Hi,
What filters should I use to eliminate blocks ( from high scene actions ). What are the typical filters would you guys use in order to do a 50% reduction with good quality compression?
Thanks

Can someone help me correct this script please
Thanks

SetMemoryMax(96)

Dctfilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)

first of all knowing the error could be usefull
second are you sure you have loaded all needed plugin ? (LS need some more plugin... look aroud... and search)

and ... where is the font ???

anyway your script is a bit complex... are you sure you need all these filter ?

BHH

EDIT: DVD Rebuilder section ???

What error message is being displayed? AviSynth will usually tell you what plugin is missing or what line number has the error.


You have no closing parentheses:
asharp(1,2)


The script has filteritis.
Too many redundant filters and in the wrong order.

[beviet]

is ordering matter???
Here is my scenario:
I am going to compress at level of 50% and I would like the video look less blocks in high action scene.
The original video has a fairy good picture, when I tried to compress with no filters, the video look very bad during high action scene

[Video Dude]

The order is very significant.

The filters you are using can actually cause an increase in bitrate. Sharpening filters and especially the noise adding BlockBuster will require more bitrate to look good.

You are using LeakKernelDeint.
Is your source interlaced? If its a progessive movie, remove this line.


If your material is progressive:

Undot().Deen()

could help the compression. (Don't use these filters on interlaced material.)

But if the source is clean, then there is not much noise to remove and you will end up blurring the picture.

In the other thread you mention using ProCoder. Try the free HC and set DVD-RB to use a low bitrate matrix.

50% compression is quite a lot especially if its a long movie. Blocks may not be able to be prevented. You can consider splitting the disc using another tool or using a DVD-DL disc.

If your using CCE you have a few more options for your problem, under CCE expert options. Decreasing VBR Bias will let CCE use more bits in the actions scenes and increasing the number of passes might help also.

I'm not familiar with all of those filters, but I know Deen and Fluxsmooth are both doing 3d matrix smoothing, you could probably ditch one (and maybe tweak the other a bit) and not even tell the difference. If your source is very clean then you won't get much more compression using them than Undot alone will give you anyway.

If you have more questions specifically about scripts I recommend reading/searching/posting in the AviSynth forum.


EDIT: beviet, I merged your threads. No need for two on virtually the same subject. Also, in the future one "?" is enough in the title of a thread, three boarders on using special characters to attract attention, which is against forum rules.

In the "AVS expert options" you could tick <Resize to Half-D1 / Apply to all>. The final result may not look worse compared to heavy filtering.

By means of the beta segment viewer/editor (pro version) you may also want to increase the bitrate for the segment(s) with the high action scenes and reduce the bitrate for the credits, for example. You may also want to blank extras, unwanted languages and skip or shrink the menu - if not already done.

Your setmemorymax value is too low. Set it for 50% of your total RAM installed. The deblocking filters in Dgdecode.dll (part of the DGindex package) are strong. Give them a shot.

Those are lot of filters. Are you certain you need them all ? BTW, RemoveGrain(mode=1) is a faster version of Undot().

[beviet]

Thanks all
After ready quite many threads in the forum, I decide to go with this route. Could you guys give me some idea? Thanks

Filters are in order
Blockbuster()
RemoveGrain(mode=1)
hqdn3d()
asharp

should I use only 1 denoiser ? removegrain or hqdn3d? or both?
What is the best filter to use for elminating DCT Block? DCTFiler, blockbuster or deblock ????
