Filter to fix recording with nightvision during daytime

[saltakatten]

On my last vaccation we accedentally had the nightvision on when recorded on daytime (i think, couse it looks bad) (just one tape luckely). Is there some filter for virtualdub to maybe fix it or at least make it look better?
Example1: http://rapidshare.com/files/65741639/.2006-02-11.09.avi.html
Example2: http://rapidshare.com/files/65741790/.2006-02-16.15.avi.html

Im not good at this stuff and I rather keep my hands of avisynth couse its way out of my skills. I would need a very easy step by step guide to handle that. So I prefer virtdub, witch I know how to handle filters with.

I might aswell squeeze in an other question. Im making a DVD out of it and need to deinterlace it. But I already thinks it looks pretty good.
Example: http://rapidshare.com/files/65741211/.2006-02-08.04.avi.html

Or will it look even better deinterlaced? Witch filter is to prefer for virtdub in that case?

I had this happen to me with a "Junk" Sony camcorder, mislabled button that leads to think its a LCD backlite, lost alot of footage.

I was able to do some recovery by using HDRagc with the video inverted at the begining of the script and inverted again at the end.

The white blowout are gone forever but on some scenes you may want to crop or frame those areas out.

Thanks! Ive read a couple of guides on how to use HDRagc and will give it a shot. I still got one question if anybody could please help me?

Or what plugin in avisynth to use and how should the script look like?

Sorry for all my questions. If Im going to edit my dv films in Adobe Premiere, should I convert them to DivX or should I keep them as they are about 12 gig/hour?

levels(0,0.5,255,16,235,coring=false)

[scharfis_brain]

export them as dv-avi (13gigs/hr) and then convert them to mpeg2 in order to build a dvd form it.

so you're preserving the interlacing in the most compatible way.

My deinterlacing starts to look pretty good. Ive settled for Donald Graft's Smart Deinterlacing Filter for Virtualdub. Only thing that bugs me now is that in som clips where things moves right or left over the screen it looks a bit jumpy. Have a look:

Should it look like this or can I somhow prevent this?

[scharfis_brain]

deinterlacing dv-avi's always introduces strobing or motion judder.

so just avoid it ;)

[saltakatten]

Won´t that create any problem for me when I edit it in Adobe Premiere Elements.

The end result is a DVD that I will watch on a HD-TV and direktly on my computer.

You don't need to deinterlace. DVDs fully support interlaced material, and do not support high frame rate progressive material (60p, 50p); DVDs only support low frame rate progressive (30p, 25p, 24p).

You should, of course, keep DV as DV until the final encode to MPEG-2. Make sure the MPEG-2 encoder knows/understands the DV field order (BFF = Bottom Field First), otherwise you'll get judder. ("Bundled with DV editor" MPEG-2 encoders should know this without telling them).

Cheers,
David.
