I want to take several HD-DVDs I bought before the deathknell, and clean up the grain and add a little sharpening before I resize them to 1280X720 for permanent archiving. I have seen multiple guides about how to convert HD-DVD to Blu-ray. Almost every single one is about changing framerate/wrapper settings to be compatible with the BR spec. I want to convert the VC-1 codec video to a generic video format so I can edit/resize/etc. (AVI preferably) Does anyone have any suggestions?
I can split out the audio track with either Eac3to or EVODemux. The problem come is trying to convert the VC1 file to anything else.
I have tried megui and the graphedit step always breaks. For some reason the Matroski splitter does not read the VC1 codec.
I have tried mediacoder, but no output is generated.
Nero Vision seems to work, but the processing time is prohibitive.
Windows Media Encoder seemed to work, but stopped 22 minutes in, (5 hours of processing) saying it was complete.
Adobe Premiere supposedly handles HD. I can bring in the 20 minute Media encoded version, but the actual VC1 errors out in Premiere.
Supposedly MS Expression Encoder is the best solution, but it can't read the VC1 file, even though it can export the exact same format. (this was on the latest V2 Beta, so I didn't even try the trial of V1).
All I want is a video file that can be pulled into Vdub, AviSynth, etc. for processing. Any ideas or suggestions?
