Need help cleaning very bad wmv clip

[Yobbo]

I was wondering if anyone has any advice/suggestions for me? I have this horrible blocky music clip (wmv format) that I want to clean up and whack on DVD.

The clip can be downloaded here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/k2t3ys) (~66MB).

I have been experimenting with all sorts of clean-up scripts and functions, but now I am just using this (pretty basic but powerful and slow):

DirectShowSource("C:\~\OrgazmNostradamusa1997.wmv", fps=25, convertfps=true, audio=false)

Deblock(quant=60, bOffset=14)

super = MSuper(pel=2, sharp=1)
backward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=500)

fft3dfilter(sigma=3, plane=3)
LSFMod(SMode=5)
#Crop(10, 2, -0, -10)
#AddBorders(6, 2, 4, 10)

Here are "before" and "after" sample pics:

There is improvement, you can see. Can I improve even further do you think? I would like to push it to the max, I don't care about processing time.

Where did you get the WMV file?

try adding grain maybe? that will deblock even further and add fake details.

The clip comes from the band's official website (http://www.on-tribut.padlo.de/). I am in touch with the bass player (from Ulan Ude). The source tape has disappeared, this wmv is all that remains (which they've put up on their website for free public access).

Although I am compiling their stuff on DVD for purely personal reasons, I am interested in just how "good" I can get it. I'm interested in any script advice at all.

:thanks:

Take a look at this thread, and this sample in particular:

You have to actually try it out to see that it fails in practice.

One good frame shows "theoretical potential". But the majority of all frames malformed shows that it's practically impractical. :)

zee944, I just can't get that script working for me. I read through the entire thread and made all necessary amendments to the script, but it just crashes AVSP and MPC-HC and HC Encoder etc. Looks good, tho.

leeperry, I will try that out and report back, thanks.

Didée, you're probably right. The source wmv is terrible.
