Trying my hand @ ripping. Found a good DVD9 Source.

Wondering what other filters i could use to better this rip? This source looked really good so i just used the minimum LimitedSharpener. But have i missed out anything?

I used the x264 encoder alongside the MKV Container.

VOB Sample: http://maxupload.com/C4B317D0

My Rip Script:

DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\RIPPING\Sample3.d2v",cpu=4,info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#Not doing anything because the source is progressive
crop( 2, 58, -2, -56)

Spline36Resize(672,288) # Spline36 (Neutral)
Undot() # Minimal Noise

LimitedSharpenFaster ( ss_x=1.3, ss_y=1.3, dest_x=last.width, dest_y=last.height,
\ Smode=3, strength=125, radius=2,
\ Lmode=2, wide=false, overshoot=1, edgemode=0, special=false,
\ exborder=0 )

tweak(cont=1.1,bright=0,sat=1.1,hue=1)

Avisynth isn't magic. You may not even want the sharpener if it is a good enough source...

I just thought i could make the rip more sharper, richer with some Avisynth Filters.

Edit: The source isn't amazing. Just good. I mean like decent.

For a clean source like this one seems to be, SeeSaw might give more noticeable results than plain sharpening. You could also try switching to SMode=4 which could give better results.
Other than that, maybe MVDeGrain2 could be of help. There doesn't seem to be much to improve in the screenshots you posted.

Thank you for your reply.

I was wondering if you could help me find documentation on how to use see saw:

SeeSaw(NRlimit=3, NRlimit2=4, Sstr=1.5, Slimit=5, Spower=5, Sdamplo=6, Szp=16)

As well i've looked in doom9 & google.com couldn't find MVDeGrain2. If you could help me find that i would appreciate it. Along with the documentation so that i could understand how to tweak the settings

:thanks:
