2.5 version of Peach?

[bratloaf]

I have gone through just about every smoothing filter in the past two days, and on my sources (svhs off cable, futurama episodes) the best one I have found so far is peach.

However, I'd really like to add a cnr2() befor the peach. But CNR2 is only for 2.5, and peach is only for 2.0...

Anyone know if there is a way to make them work together? Or newer/older versions of either?

Thanks-
Jeff

Cool! I knew there had to be a way!

Thanks!

Didn't HighSpeedDub say he was going to do a 2.5 version? Anybody have any more scoop on that?

"Didn't HighSpeedDub say he was going to do a 2.5 version"

I don't think so (as there is a way to use current version with 2.5, thanks to LoadPluginEx.dll).

In addition, I am sure that Lindsey said that Peach will remain in yuy2 colorspace.

Yep, it looks like you found the relevant posts, already. It’ll need to stay in YUY2, but a 2.5 version should show up once I have the time to figure out the new interface.

@Lindsey: should probably just be:

1) replace avisynth.h
2) change AvisynthPluginInit to AvisynthPluginInit2.
3) recompile.

@Lindsey: What was that bug concerning slight motion in the source clip that affected the filter? I remember there was some discussion about it before, but I never found out if it could be avoided somehow.

Maybe someone could help you with a YV12 version? That would be a great filter indeed:)

Boulder,

The bug (which isn’t really a bug) and my response are in this thread:

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3136&start=15

But I can’t seem to connect to that thread at the moment, so here’s the boiled down version, copied from a different thread:
You’re seeing the standard behavior where the Peach is really, really sure that there’s no motion. Usually that means the noise estimate is off — Take a look at the docs on the “dot” option and on the “I’m seeing lots of blurring...” question.


Way back, Jeff wrote

Even if it were easy, this isn’t the best way to do it. Try running CNR2 after Peach, instead. Any kind of selective blurring run before Peach Smoother will cause it to average too little in high detail areas. That can lead you to raise the NoiseReduction setting too high, which will cause too much smoothing in low detail areas.

If all goes well, it's already in the works.

[High Speed Dubb]

Er... I doubt that. A YUY2 version for AVISynth 2.5 may well show up, but a YV12 version is another matter.

Yeah, looks like I quoted from the wrong post. That'll teach me to pay attention, won't it?
