DVD Rebuilder filters for converted VHS to DVD

[James35]

Hi all,

I just converted a VHS movie to DVD (critters 3) and I would like to re-encode it with DVD Rebuilder useing some filters to clean it up a bit.

So I was wondering on what filters I could use to help clean it a bit or has this never been done with DVD Rebuilder?

It's been a long time since I tried to clear up a VHS stream, hopefully someone else here can help. If not I'll find some of my old scripts when I get back to my computers (vacationing right now).

Thanks guys, so far I have had not much luck with some filters, tend to look the same as the original copy
I have used removegrain, asharp, Convolution3d, FluxSmooth.. I am also trying to find filters that would help with VHS problems like the brightnes and contrast and colour.
And need to trim a small amount off the bottom to remove the overscan that you get from VHS among other formats...

The VHS copy I have was not that bad, the only annoying thing was that my DVD recorder made the video interlaced and when I used decomb it made the video look worse...

Not to seem pushy but does anyone have any good tips?

WHen it comes to these filters I am a dumbass, I cannot get any improvement, oh well.

In terms of this, your better bringing the video into a video editor like Sony Vegas or another that has good color correction tools. The best ones use a software best vectorscope.
