what is banding? Abrupt level gradation instead of smooth transition?

wow, the filtered image looks great! But do we just use like this, gradfun2db()? anyway, this is how I used in my script ^^.. I can't wait to see the result.

It seems that show has become the poster child of painful banding, hasn't it? Thanks! I'll test as soon as I crank through my next filter session, too busy atm.

@ Fizick

No banding:


Strong banding:



@ HOLiC

Nooo! As I wrote in my first post, this filter is meant for post-processing... If you use it for pre-processing, the encoder will destroy most of the fine gradients again (well, except if you'd use a "all 8" CQM at fixed Quantizer 1, lol). So, simply put this filter in ffdshows AviSynth section and use it while playback!


@ MfA

If you watch it in fullscreen (or with a black background) its much more visible...


@ foxyshadis

Thx!


Bye

I'll check it also. I hope that 'fast' is not a misleading name, considering your last filter.

Uhm, it averages gradients to increase bitdepth...

I didn't actually optimized it. I cleaned it up to make it portable, and speed was increased in the process.

Hello Soulhunter and Manao,

Is it efficient on all types of scenes?
What are the privileged sources?

@ guada 2

It should work for nearly all stuff that contains banding!

So far I tested it with 1 anime and 2 movies...

If it's so bad that it's like Ergo Proxy, pre-encoding could help, otherwise you have to use a high-bitrate matrix or add a little ripple/noise to low-contrast areas. Having a highspeed playback filter makes that less important though. =D

Care to upload it to a host that doesn't give me a "too many users downloading" msg every time?

Holy crap!

This actually is JUST the filter I've been looking for! Great work, Soulhunter, and it's fast too (a great change from Broadsword...).

>> Great work, Soulhunter

The summoner's fate ... the news are good, he gets praised ... the news are bad, he looses a head.

What a luck it's a good filter ...

Anyone else could imagine this one becoming a built-in into ffdshow?

Could also have a positive effect on blocking, possibly. Depending on how things are done, DB perhaps should be adjustable. (?)
