Thx LaTo!!!

I like MCTemporalDenoise in begining and work only with him.

Wery B Iiiiiii G THX for update !! !!

PS and for LSFmod thx - cool sharp )))

[mozzle]

Thanks for the update and continued work on all of your scripts.

:thanks:

[fleon]

Hi, I am sorry but I have no idea in how to use your script, and it seems very good,so could you help me with a guide on how to use it with megui?

I have downloaded all the needed filters and I have put them in the avisynth plugin directory.

I know the basics of megui, by that I mean that I know that I have to index the dvd with the d2v creator and then open the d2v file with the avs script editor, but I am stuck there, I dont know how I can use MCTemporalDenoise from there, I wanna try the medium global setting..., or I guess I can submit a sample if anyone wants to help me out:)

[lych_necross]

Damn LaTo, MCTemporalDenoise is awesome! I used it with setmtmode(2,0), settings="medium", and gpu=true to encode Star Trek 3 last night with excellent results. :)

[nitinpushpan]

I noticed that none of the output shown in the thumbnails are resized. Do you apply this before or after resizing? If its before resizing then how is the quality after resizing it also?

[nitinpushpan]

If you're resizing then put it before the resize. If you're not resizing and just cropping then I guess one can put it before the cropping.

If the source is SD DVD like in my case where I used the above quick workarounds :):p

Will this avsi help if I apply it to a DVD video source and encode it using Gordian Knot with Xvid? I noticed that the thumbnails are 720p resolution. How is it going to help the final quality if I apply it before resizing? Am I supposed to apply other filters also after resizing?
Also am I suppose to enter all the paramters to get the quality or is "MCTemporalDenoise(settings="very low")" enough?
Here is the sample of the source I'm working on...

http://rapidshare.com/files/259775529/VTS_01_3.demuxed.m2v.html

Plus I noticed that LaTo's source video has a very good quality, then why would he wanna apply MCTemporalDenoise on it in the first place that too without resizing? I had to strain my eyes to notice the difference...

Test by yourself and pick the best to your eyes.

Yes it's enough, but you can try with enhance=true and chroma=true...

300 has strong grain and the 2nd has bad noise in the background.

I had to strain my eyes to notice the difference...
Maybe it's time to change your display :p

[Caroliano]

In the wiki (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MCTemporalDenoise), in the top right box the version number still 1.2.02, and in the required filters there is the following:

MVTools (v1.10.2.1) or MVToolsMULTI (v1.9.7.1)
MVTools (v2.3.1) (both MVTools filter needed!!!)

In the end of the page there is already information about the post-denoising stage and a link to the current version 1.3.00. Can I, or someone faster than me, update this and remove the old MVtools as requeriments?

[canuckerfan]

anyone got a mirror to ttempsmooth?

it's one of tritical's.

[canuckerfan]

thanks

[canuckerfan]

whenever I try to adjust the owoh and overlap parametres it tells me it doesn't know what bwbh and blocksize means... should there be a default value for theses parametres as well?

edit: anyone got a mirror for addgranc? this one, http://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/externalfilters/addgrain.htm, doesn't seem to work for me.

[canuckerfan]

cool. i finally got everything working now... just wanted to say how dynamic this script is!! good stuff!

[Boulder]

A small suggestion: internal padding to mod-16 before processing (or whatever is the most convenient and avoids error messages regarding illegal values for Crop) and then returning the original resolution.

[tengo6dedos]

Hello, is there an internal problem on using MVTools 2.5.3? it loads fine

[LaTo]

Hello, is there an internal problem on using MVTools 2.5.3? it loads fine

Yes, I haven't tested but it should be ok... Test and report please.

[LaTo]

I saw on some websites/pages that MCTD creates blur sometimes... So, I you want to eliminate most of the blur:

You should tweak the sigma parameter for each of your video if you want the best quality!

Personally when I use MCTD, it's 70% of the time: preset="low" with tweaked sigma value. (20% "medium", 10% "high", I never use "very low" and "very high"... Yes, my pourcentaces are perfectly calculated :D)

On top of that, I always use enhance=true because it finishes very well (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1243335#post1243335)... So you should try it :p

PS: remember to use chroma=true when it's necessary (and "post" parameter is also useful when you want tweak a little the denoising)

[canuckerfan]

using the flat=true option in the post-processing filter... should it be called after my sharpening routine or before?

Always at the end.

Always at the end.
that's what I thought. thank you.

[Boulder]

LaTo, there seems to be something in MCTemporalDenoise which makes a certain script cause an access violation with the 2.5.x branch of MVTools2: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1329180#post1329180 . Do you have any ideas where to start investigating further?

[Arshad07]

Does MCTemporalDenoise support Multi-Threading?

it doesnt seem to work :confused: It crashes in CCE SP2.

[thewebchat]

Your crash dialog says that the fault is in mt_masktools-26.dll! MaskTools2 is used in both MCTD and in LSF, and you should figure out which it is that is causing the crash. Also, mt_masktools-26.dll is for AviSynth 2.6!

[Arshad07]

When i removed mt_masktools_26.dll from my plugins folder, the error comes to masktools2 :confused:

[thewebchat]

Uh... Well, of course you'd get an error related to MaskTools2 if you remove it from your plugins folder.

Remove mt_masktools_26.dll and put mt_masktools_25.dll in your plugins folder

[LaTo]

The last version working with MCTD is v2.4.7

If you want to use v2.5.x you should look at this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1329353#post1329353)

[Arshad07]

Remove mt_masktools_26.dll and put mt_masktools_25.dll in your plugins folder

Can u upload it to sendspace for me plz? I cant seem to find it.

[Didée]

No. Really not. Primary home of the MaskTools package is here (http://manao4.free.fr/). The latest version is v20a36.

The content of the package:
http://i35.tinypic.com/2vcjdj9.png

If you managed to find the -26, but can't find the -25, then it's ... a serious case. ;)

[Arshad07]

No no no. I thought i'd seen somewhere but coundnt recall where exactly. Ohhh, now i see, its in the masktools folder ;)

[LaTo]

v1.3.09:
added MOD4 restriction
updated MVTools version

No problem with MVTools v2.5.5 ;)

[Arshad07]

You must not load fftw3.dll via LoadPlugin(). (English "must not" means "forbidden!".)

fftw3.dll --> put in system path, usually system32/syswow64. After that, just forget about it.
fft3dfilter.dll --> load with LoadPlugin()

That's all.

If were to recommend ... recommend me the MCTemporalDenoise or Mc_Spuds?

We are on MCTD thread, so I recommend MCTemporalDenoise :p


Denoising part is more or less the same between the two (MCTD has also a protection against banding, Spuds not), but MCTD has a better sharpening routine.
On top, MCTD has "enhance" option which is really useful ;)

I dont know fi anyone is having this problem, but im using:

ECmode="dfttest().dehalo_alpha()"

and im getting an error stating that there is no such function as 'dfttest' in the avsi script, which i find very strange, i even looked at it and even if thre was such function, and i never modified anything on it either.

Can anyon help me on this please?

This code is just an example, not an universal solution :)
But if you really want this, you need to download dfttest and dehalo_alpha and put them in your avisynth's folder (search in the forum).

[Undead Sega]

downloaded dfttest and dehalo_alpha, i put dfttest in the plugins folder and libfftw3f-3.dll in the systems folder (actually in SysWOW64 as i am using Win7 64bit), and while i thought it was about to work, i am getting an error message saying "there is no named fucntion called 'expand'". Ive done everything correctly and i cant even find any function (after a quick search) called 'expand'. What could i be doing wrong with time? :(

[MatLz]

Expand is a filter present in masktools plugin.
