been working forever on encoding my x-men evolution DVDs. maybe this is unfixable but i want some outside help before i concede to that decision. i'll provide some screenshots for comparison

animeivtc + daa(nnedi3)

how else can i clean this up?

for animeivtc i used "AnimeIVTC(mode=1, aa=2, precision=3, edimode="nnedi3")" (just a line i found in another thread...not really sure how to tweak it to my needs)

for sangnom i used "LanczosResize(640*2,480*2).TurnLeft().SangNom().TurnRight().SangNom()" (again just copied that from another thread but this one seemed more straight forward)

is it possible that i'm using animeivtc incorrectly and it's not completely removing the interlacing? to me it looks like the sangnom version looks best with her face lines being smooth, just wish i could fix the hand.

Maybe a case for Srestore. And since you didn't post a video sample, you have to try it yourself. :)

sorry about that. here is a sample clip (41mb of the original VOB file...about 50 seconds worth)

i'll see if i have SRestore already.
Thank you for trying to help me

edit: as a side note, i'm also wondering...some filters have supersampling as a perameter (vm toon and dehalo alpha for example). is it slower for each filter to do it's own supersampling? or should i create my own supersample before them all and take that out of the filter call?

example...which of the following would be faster or does it not make a difference?
undot()
DeHalo_alpha(brightstr=1.5, ss=2.0)

vmToon(strength=100, luma_cap=150, threshold=2, thinning=100, ssw=3,ssh=3)

LanczosResize(848*2,480*2).TurnLeft().SangNom().TurnRight().SangNom()

LanczosResize(848,480)

or
LanczosResize(848*3,480*3)
undot()
DeHalo_alpha(brightstr=1.5)

vmToon(strength=100, luma_cap=150, threshold=2, thinning=100)

TurnLeft().SangNom().TurnRight().SangNom()

LanczosResize(848,480)

i'm not hell-bent on using any of the filters that i have listed. if there is a better choice please let me know. would love to expand my repertoire.

edit2: and am correct in adding undot to all of my encodes since apparently it's "risk-free" compressibility? i don't see it actually doing anything but i read that it helps reduce the file size.

:helpful: i need this filters i have more raw anime video 400-500mb but i need converting with anime alogrithms x264 with megui but i cant filtering avisynth.

because
not filtered ==> using x264 anime profile ==> output =impeffect
filtered ==>using x264 anime profile ==> output = preffect

because i need filters, used this sample image,

sorry for my english.

went back to this. i just tried srestore with mode=1 through 4 and that didn't help. then tried srestore() and still nothing.

here is a much smaller sample so you don't have to download a 40mb clip. it's the main part that's bugging me.

i came back to this series now and it's still bugging me. i think i'll have to accept the part in the intro that is bothering me because as i skim through the episode, i see no other instance of it happening so i think it's unfixable (or at least not worth throwing tons of filters to just correct that two to three second portion). i am however still having problems getting an output that i like with the main video. the preview in megui always looks great but it seems no matter how much bitrate i throw at it, the resulting video doesn't look nearly as good.

if anyone cares to take some time to see if they can get a good output, i would be greatly appreciative. would like to know which filters were used and how much bitrate. i make my videos into an mp4 using x264

look at the hands, these lines are not part of interlaced source. it's damaged footage, so you can't fix these lines with a deinterlacer or anti-aliasing.

If it's that important to you, you could probably use a combination of aviysnth, masks, and manual frame edits to repair it

If it's only the intro, fixing it for one episode would be enough, because the intro is the same for the others

in fact, these lines are in each field ...

yeah i've decided to ignore that part since it's only in the intro. and i'm really close to a great output now that i'm using constant quality instead of automated 2-pass for encoding. wish i would have used that method earlier on but live and learn. thanks for all the help so far.
