DVD9 to 720p conversion using MeGui

[niru7206]

Hello everybody. As the title goes...I intend to encode some of DVD9 collections into 720p. I use megui for encoding. Like container mkv. I am a newbie and know little bit ripping. Below is the avisynth file I use for ripping my movies. Please somebody help me modifying (mentioning filters and their parameters) the script for 720p output.

Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\GradFunkMirror.avs")
Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SeeSaw.avs")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\movies\don[2007]\VTS_09_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
TDecimate(cycleR=1)
crop( 0, 60, -2, -60)
Spline36Resize(720,312)
a= last
b=a.degrainmedian(limitY=3, limitUV=5,mode=0).VagueDenoiser(threshold=1.2, method=1, nsteps=6, chromaT=0.8)
SeeSaw(a,b, NRlimit=3, NRlimit2=4, Sstr=1.5, Slimit=5, Spower=5, Sdamplo=6, Szp=16, sootheS=20)

Filters tend to be specific for each movie.

I couldnt understand. Plz elaborate.

Hi,

I think CWR03 wants to point out that each movie may need each filter to be tuned individually (or not used); example you wont use 2 denoisers for a source without (or very little) artifacts.

Also you state you want to encode to 720p but your avisynth script will give you a SD (below DVD standard) resolution:
Spline36Resize(720,312)

720p is 720 pixels of vertical resolution for 1280 pixels horizontal; aka 1280x720 !; see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p

Better use a GUI that will help you get SD or HD resolution: for x264 encode, Ripbot, Staxrip or others can do that easily.

See the screenshot below from my original rip, which is looking like washed out picture.

Now, I want to make my rip look blackish or make more sharp. Below are two example. I have photoshopped these images. But I want to make my rip more crisp. How can I do that? What filter I use for this rip only and what would be the parameters of that filter.

So your goal is to make your DVDs look like an incorrectly configured television playing a low quality broadcast?

Not at all bro. Rather I want my DVDs look like BD/HD-DVD. I am not well in photoshop thats why my images are looking dull. But actually I want my DVDs to be converted into HD look with a bit small in size.

You can't. Your source is lower quality than HD. You can't just create finer details from a poor quality image. The best you can achieve by upscaling is to lessen the loss of quality when compressing to a lossy format.

Back to filters, if you have one particular video where you want deeper saturation of colors, then on that project you use a filter to do that. If ALL your videos looked washed out at the same level, only then would you use that filter every time. Otherwise, you need to learn what the filters do and how to adjust them to suit your needs and preferences based on each individual source.

It looks like a REC conversions issue to me!

Look up ColorMatrix paramters and see if there is anything there specific to that partricular source ...
