PixieDust causing artifacts in video

[iparout]

Hi.

I am using Pixiedust to denoise a clip before encoding, however, I noticed that the filter creates a few black/green lines at the bottom and on the right of the picture.

Can someone tell me what's going on ?

I'm using the following script :

# PLUGINS
LoadPlugin("c:\PixieDust\LoadPluginEx.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\Msharpen.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\PixieDust\dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\KernelDeInt.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\dgbob.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\Convolution3d.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\FluxSmooth.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\TomsMoComp.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\VSFilter.dll")
#LoadPlugin("E:\GORDIA~1\SimpleResize.dll")

Avisource("d:\huffy.avi")

# DEINTERLACING (2)
KernelDeint(order=1)

#CROPPING
Crop(12,4,0,-16)

#DENOISE
PixieDust(5)

#SHARPEN
MSharpen()

The source video is huffyuv and I'm using version 2.54 of avisynth and Dust Version 5 by Steady 01/23/2003.

Thanks in advance for any input.

P.S. : I know I can crop out those artifacts, however I'm just wondering if there's something I can do, without cropping the image any further.

Dust requires a mod 16 width and height or else you get the problem that you have.

[iparout]

mod means that the width and height have to be multiples of 16, right ?

Yes...

Then I don't think that the answer is exactly correct. The original video is 704x576, so with Crop(12,4,0,-16) it becomes 692x556, causing those artifacts.

When I use Crop(12,4,-4,-20), then the output is 688x552 with no artifacts, although 552 is not a multiple of 16. It is a multiple of 8 though...

MOD16 horizontally, MOD8 vertically, indeed. Old story, mentioned several times ... e.g. here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=674607#post674607) ;)

Thanks a lot.
