DeBlend a Music Video (25fps)

[uralop]

Hello,

I bought a new DVD of music videos.

It's a PAL DVD, and one of the music video has a lot of blended frames.

Like that :

How can I handle this ?

Thanks :)

What is the exact title and region of the DVD? I ask because I have never seen a commercial DVD encoded that badly (except Indian ones). It looks like somebody's cheap encode. Can you give us a VOB fragment instead?

Unfortunately, music video DVDs almost always look like that.

looks like cell division :P lol good luck with this one, call upon the avisynth gods i say!

I don't think they could do something... this is so heavily blended that I don't think it can even be restored... one should create a frame out of both blends of the same image to recover both frames, since no clear frame can be found for many frames....... and there are more than 2 blended frames in a row...

The video comes from a R0 DVD. And this is the bonus DVD which came with the Natalie Imbruglia's CD "The Singles 97-07".
I thought the DVD was R2, but it seems it is R0, but I don't think it matters.


Strangely, the others videos don't have that ghosting.

How do you think the video has been produced?


Thanks :)

refer to this thread for almost the same scenario ^^

didee advised restorefps ,it's *quite* *Fast* as compared to removeblend/blockbuster/unblend/ m/srestore(when used only to deblend)/cdeblend etc and is somewhat effective .

something which i did with rock on was to simply unblend (using unblend + checkmate+ cdeblend) and leave it at 29 fps . Then i used YATTA to decimate the frames and get it to 23.976 and voila it worked fine :p


would seperating fields and then selectodd()/selecteven() works on this ? just an idea :rolleyes: ?

let me download the sample and give it a shot ..

I am uploading a VOB sample.

Any help please? :)

There's weird bad deinterlacing on some frames before whatever blending was done (I think), and in some frames the highlights/sharpening appear to bleed through while nothing else does.

Find another version?! ;)

Cheers,

I spoke with another DVD's owner who got the NTSC version, he told me there are some ghosting in the NTSC version too. :/

But that might be fixable.

Did you try simple subtract?

a = DeleteFrame(0)
b = Overlay(a, mode="Subtract")
Overlay(b, mode="Subtract")

[2Bdecided]

But that might be fixable.Maybe not - given that the artist is from Australia (a PAL country) it's more likely the NTSC version it just taken from the PAL version - unless this specific footage was shot in an NTSC country - but again, it could have gone NTSC>PAL>NTSC to get to the NTSC version, so still look worse.

Maybe worth trying, but not hopeful.

Cheers,
David.
