Please paste me a good script to encode cartoons

[uozzap]

I'm trying various filter but with no good results...
In too fast scenes i still have ghost effect..
Please help me :script:
I get my cartoons via sat...pleaaaase

I'd advise you to revise your post.

People who beg and plead without explaining their problem intelligently usually will not get their questions answered.

analog or digital? a lot of TV stations run their analog satellite stuff through a pretty agressive temporal filter which causes a lot of ghosting. with digital satellite it could even be some kind of ill-conceived pre-compression filter to make the low bitrate go further.

also what you might be seeing is the ghosting caused by standards-conversion (usually referred to here as "field blending").

of course a worst-case scenario would be a combination of both standards-conversion and temporal smoothing. usually the same machine will do both, so it's relatively likely that this could happen.

but without a decent description of your source (an un-filtered sample in either q2 Xvid interlaced, or your capture format would be very helpful) there's not much we can help you with.

Oh sorry
I would know how to improve my encodes..

this is the script I use

LoadPlugin("C:\PLUG\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PLUG\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PLUG\mpasource.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\plug\tomsmocomp.dll")

Digital...
I know i have to deinterlace video, I have field blending problems too..
source video PAL, 25fps of course at 704x576...
I don't know how to check if it's yuv,rgb etc etc

Don't load mpeg2dec3.dll if you are using dgdecode.dll.

Please post a link to a short unprocessed source clip that is typical of your video. Without that, it's almost impossible to help you very much.

[uozzap]

here a 15MB clip..

[Guest]

That appears to be frame blending. Please accept my condolences. :)

[uozzap]

no way ? :(

[uozzap]

why if do i use this script i have no ghost effect

# PLUGINS
#LoadPlugin("C:\PLUG\MPEG2Dec3.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\PLUG\mpasource.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\plug\tomsmocomp.dll")

KernelDeint(order=1,threshold=7)

# RESIZING

and if i use this script i have it ?

You're not using the same input file! One uses simpson.d2v and one uses spongebob.d2v. Could be that one is frame-blended and one is not.

[uozzap]

ops the filename is not corrected but i used the same filename!
what could it be ?

hey what are differences between a temporal soften and a spatial soften ?

And when should i use one or another one ?

[Guest]

Temporal smoothes across time; spatial smoothes across space.

If you are doing cartoons, I would use an edge-protected spatial smoother, such as MSmooth.

[uozzap]

Thanks :D

and should i use it after TemporalSoften ?

[Guest]

TemporalSoften will cause ghosting. I would use MSmooth by itself.

I have a script that gives me results I really like on animated VHS captures. I can post it if you want, but bear in mind that it only considers either interlaced or telecined source, as I don't know how to deal with blends (and am waiting for the next version of restore24 anyway).
