Hi folk!

6 month ago I begin make conversion from miniDV to CVD. I use following software:
1. Avisynth 2.08
2. Plugin Dust Version 5 by Steady 01/23/2003
3. VirtualDub 1.5.4 for Pentium 4
4. Huffyuv lossless codec
5. Canopus DV codec
4. MPEG-2 encoder CCE SP 2.66.01.07

I use Steady plugin after a lot of experiment with other spatial and temporal soften filters (SpatialSoften, 2D_Clean, 3D, FluxSmooth, peach). I also try deinterlace my source and encode to MPEG-2, but get very blurry movie and solve deal with interlace source. Steady plugin give best result for my source (handheld miniDV). Only small problem Steady plugin can not call many time from Avisynth script file. I write two script:
# for even fields
AVISource("Digit.avi")
FixBrokenChromaUpsampling()
AssumeFrameBased()
SeparateFields()
SelectEven()
PixieDust(8) #save as Digite.avi in VirtualDub
# for odd fields
AVISource("Digit.avi")
FixBrokenChromaUpsampling()
AssumeFrameBased()
SeparateFields()
SelectOdd()
PixieDust(8)#save as Digito.avi in VirtualDub
After I run VirtualDub and open this script use at video fast recompress and video codec Huffyuv and save avi. I get two files. I write one more script:
e=AVISource("Digite.avi")
o=AVISource("Digito.avi")
Interleave(e,o)
AssumeFieldBased()
Weave()
Crop(8,0,704,576)
HorizontalReduceBy2()
LetterBox(16,16,16,16)
I open this script in CCE and use multipas VBR 3 pass min=0, max=2554, avg=2000, Audio=192. In advanced option at Video Upper Field First could check off, luminance level 0 to 255; at Quality Low pass filter check off, Effect restricted filter check off, Flat Part priority 16,Intra block precision 10, Block Scanning order alternate (best for interlace source).
After I muxed mpv and mpa in TMPGEnc and burn in Nero nonstandard SVCD and see on standalone Pioneer 343 and was very glad.
With kind regards yup.
