avisynth script database for d2s

[Clixo]

in the new beta release we can use our favourite scripts as part of the dvd2svcd.ini file, so if you think you have a nice script that suites you why not to share it to the others ?
so here is my first costum script for the new d2s 1.01 build 1 beta 3.

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH TEMPORALSOFTEN2]
0=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
2=LoadPlugin(!temporalsoften2.dll)
3=Temporalsoften2(^x_value,^y_value,^z_value)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!temporalsoften2.dll=C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth\temporalsoften2.dll
^x_value=3
^y_value=5
^z_value=7

[dvd2svcd]

Just for the record:
^ = Numerical
! = Filename
§ = Text
? = Boolean

In the frameserver tab you can change the values where you've used the above signs, except when using ^TargetHeight, ^TargetWidth, ^BorderTop and ^BorderBottom those values will be filled in automatically by dvd2svcd.

Every new avisynth section you add to dvd2svcd.ini file must start with AVISYNTH_ like [AVISYNTH_SomethingOrOther]

I will make this sticky and see how it goes.

Please put your script between [ code][ /code] when you post it here then it'll be easy to see what should be copied into dvd2svcd.ini

[dvd2svcd]

If you want to try out the newly added Lanczos3Resize filter in avisynth you can add this into dvd2svcd.ini:

[AVISYNTH_Lanczos3Resize]
0=LanczosResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)

[Clixo]

for those who might have not seen this: ( this script is authored by dvd2svcd ; )

[AVISYNTH_Cartoon]

1=LoadPlugin(!Convolution3D.dll)
2=LoadPlugin(!Dup.dll)

[dvd2svcd]

Well, that was more as an experiment on how versatile it actually was. I wouldn't recommend using it

[Clixo]

and onother one to force subs

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize with temporal soften and forced subs for avi]
0=LoadPlugin(!temporalsoften2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)

Unfilter:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
2=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
3=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=
^y_value=

[needle]

@clixomano

I think that in your code [AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER] the lines "LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)" and "UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)" should be appear before than "BicubicResize..." as follows.

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
1=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
2=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=
^y_value=

could be my mistake,but
in dvd2svcd110b1pre22,
unfilter is after bicubic resize.

than i use unfilter with a new d2s110b1rc2 in this way:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize with Unfilter]
0=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
2=LoadPlugin(!unfilter.dll)
3=Unfilter(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!Unfilter.dll=C:\Arquivos de programas\DVD2SVCD110b1b3\UnFilter\UnFilter.dll
^x_value=15
^y_value=15

it is correct?
or i invert something?

help please!
thanks!!

[fgm]

For those that still use TS this is the correct version of the script included with RC1 in the Readme.txt:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother]
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
3=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=F:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC2.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^Strength=2
^Radius=1

with this way:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
2=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
3=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=
^y_value=

less time to encode , final file is big.

================================================================

and in this way:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
1=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
2=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=
^y_value=

more time to encode , final file is short.

=================================================================

i try with temporalsmoother and temporalsoften too.
if resize comes first:less time,big file.
if resize comes after: more time,short file.


final image quality.......just the same.

[indy69]

I use this script most of the time since most of my encodes are from dvd.

code

[AVISYNTH_BICUBICRESIZE with TemporalSmoothing and unfilter]
0=Loadplugin(!Mpeg2Dec.dll)
1=Temporalsmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
2=loadplugin(!Unfilter.dll)
3=Unfilter(^x_value,^y_value)
4=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
5=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
!Mpeg2Dec.dll=D:\Dvd2svcd\Mpeg2dec\Mpeg2dec.dll
^Strength=2
^Radius=1
!Unfilter.dll=D:\DVD2svcd\Unfilter.dll
^x_value=-40
^y_value=-40
^b_value=0.33
^c_value=0.33

You can vary the order of the filters and values in the frameserver section easily

[dvd2svcd]

Please keep this thread to Avisynth Scripts only, don't post problems here. (Holomatrix, I moved you're question and indy69's answers into the help!!! thread)

[badbert]

This is my AVI2SVCD script. You can find the tweak and focus filters HERE Make sure to read the readme files to set the proper defaults.


[AVISYNTH_BiCubicResize With temporal smoother, tweak, focus2, and forced subs for avi]
0=LoadPlugin(!Tweak.dll)
1=LoadPlugin(!Focus2.dll)
2=Tweak(^hue,^sat,^bright,^contrast)
3=Blur2(^Blur)
4=Sharpen2(^sharpen)
5=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
6=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
7=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
8=LoadPlugin(!textsub.vdf)
9=textsub(!file.sub)


experiment with the order for speed...

[Abond]

I have used this script once, but in GKnot for DVD rip with little noise. The movie comes out ok, but not perfect. Didn't experiment further (lazy). In fact I don't know if I wrote it correctly for DVD2SVCD...
The idea came from jorel post in this thread.
Here it is:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
1=UNFILTER(^x_value_neg,^y_value_neg)
2=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
4=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.33
^c_value=0.33
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value_neg=-20
^y_value_neg=-20
^x_value=20
^y_value=20


Maybe somebody will find it usefull...
Greetings.

I must confess I haven't used much but for what I read, the convolution3D script is really good and it even has presets which is a great thing for n00bs like me (thanks Vlad59)

In this script you will find the preset established as animeHQ, it could be something else... At frameserver tab of dvd2svcd just put the preset you want or if you are an expert just put the values you like.
Suggestion: keep Convolution3D.txt open to check presets

Check this thread to see what other settings have been experimented for other sources (than at the presets) like tv, dv.

I know this is not really very sophisticated but I use to edit out the balck bars on NTSC back-ups where the aspect ratio is 2.35:1 on a 16:9 and 1.66:1 on a 4:3. More bitrate devoted to film area. Encoding times improve.

Useful if using the batch method or if the film is spread over more than discs or doing multiple episodes

The values change from film to film.

My method

1. Rip one short chapter. Set DVD2SVCD to edit AVIsynth file when DVD2AVI is done.

2. When DVD2SVCD gets to the edit point, hit save. In windows explorer, copy the avisynth file so that you'll have a back-up. Load project file into DVD2AVI. Use clip and resize feature under video tab. Take a note of the borders: top, width and height (for example top=40, width=720, height=384). Put these values into the avisynth file at their appropriate spot on the Bicubic line.

Example for a 2.35:1

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\Video\DVD2SV~2\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\LAWREN~1\Vobs\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
BicubicResize(480,276,0.0,0.60,0,40,720,384)
TemporalSmoother(2,1)
AddBorders(0,102,0,102)

3. Guess at the values for the AddBorders line. Add up the numbers on the AddBorders line, in this case 102+102=204 and subtract that number from 480 and put that as the second number in the Bicubic line. Hit save.

4. Now preview the copied avisynth file in Windows Media player. Physically measure the vertical dimension. Now open the working avisynth file in Windows Media player. Physically measure the vertical dimension. Are the two the same? If not, modify the addborders values and the second number in the Bicubic line. Hit save and measure in Windows Media player. Repeat as necessary.

5. Write the final values down.

6. Restart DVD2SVCD and place the final values in the script. Now you can do the whole film without further edit.

EDIT: Actually using the Preview Pane in DVD2SVCD under GO! will work also. Simply use standard setting, "Bicubic" for example. Take your crude measurements with pen and paper. Close the preview pane, use one of the modified avisynth scripts above, play with numbers until you get the correct looking preview pane. Taht way you do not have to rip a single chapter.

Hi,

these scripts are a result of this thread. They can be used to get the size of the black borders, crop them before resizing (faster resizing) and adding black borders afterwards automatically. This one is for converting PAL movies (16:9 and 4:3) to SVCD.

[AVISYNTH_DetectBorders]
0=LoadPlugin(!AutoCrop.dll)
1=AutoCrop(true,1,1,0,0,0,0,40,10)
2=BilinearResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
!AutoCrop.dll=C:\Programme\SVCD\DVD2SVCD\Autocrop\AutoCrop.dll

[AVISYNTH_BilinearResizeWithoutBlackBorders]
0=Crop(^Crop_Left, ^Crop_Top, ^Crop_Width, ^Crop_Height)
1=AutoResize()
2=AutoAddBorders()
3=function AutoAddBorders(Clip c) {
4=aab_top = (Floor(((576 - c.height) / 2) / 16))*16
5=aab_bottom = (576 - aab_top) - c.height 
6=return addBorders(c, 0, aab_top, 0, aab_bottom)
7=}
8=function AutoResize(Clip c) {
9=factor = (^BorderTop == 72) ? 0.75 : 1.0
10=height = Round((720.0 / c.width) * c.height * factor)
11=return BilinearResize(c, 480, height)
12=}
^Crop_Left=0
^Crop_Top=0
^Crop_Width=720
^Crop_Height=576

Now do the following:
1) Insert DVD into your drive
2) Press the DVD-icon on the Conversion tab
3) Select Go->Preview Video (still picture)
4) Go to the frameserver-tab
5) Select the "DetectBorders" avisynth script
6) Note the autocrop info on the preview (if the borders are not detected very well, use "New Frame"-button!)
On my test DVD the autocrop-info was Crop(4,76,713,423)
7) Select the "BilinearResizeWithoutBlackBars" avisynth script
8) Edit the parameters of the Crop-line to match the ones of the autocrop information
9) ready!! Even if you cropped some pixels from left and right, the script calculates the correct size of the video, adds borders and the movie is ready to be converted.

Some additional hints:
- the script calculates the top and bottom borders to align the top of the picture to a multiple of 16 (macroblock optimisation). Thus, there can be different large borders on top and on bottom. If you do not like this behaviour, modify the BilinearResizeWithoutBlackBorders script:

...
5=aab_top = Round((576 - c.height) / 2)
...

Now the borders are always the same size.

- The autocrop-filter can be found here: here.
- Some discussions on this filter can be found here.

Cheers,

neopholus

[EDITED] @RB: Thanks for the bugfix!
