Avisynth counterpart for MPC-HC shaders ?

[Betsy25]

Hi,

I've a DVD that I play with MPC-HC, quite an old ABBA movie, and I got it to look quite good using the "Combine Shaders" option in MPC-HC.

Here's the shader chain used :

1) Denoise
2) 16-235 -> 0-255 [SD]
3) BT.601 -> BT.709
4) Edge Sharpen

.... now my question.

Using any frontend to convert the clips to x264, which would be the avisynth filters that closely match the ones used by MPC-HC ?

Thanks, but I still don't quite get the whole picture of using Avisynth.

Hi,

Try a front end having access to the avisynth script (that can be edited and modified) like Ripbot264 or Megui or HdconverttoX or others...


1) Denoise
2) 16-235 -> 0-255 [SD]
3) BT.601 -> BT.709
4) Edge Sharpen

Colormatrix()
Fully-plenty of denoisers but You may want to try some "all in one" like:
-Softsharpen() for little to medium sharping and full range for denoising
-MCTemporalDenoise() (MCTD) for full range sharping and denoising (slower)

To give you an idea here is a thread proposing LSFmod and later softsharpen or MCTD for an old movie:

Thanks BigDid. Time to experiment.:)
