AviSynth Video problem? please...

[NLPguy]

Hi folks,

I have a script that runs perfectly on Windows 7 64 bits.

But when I run it on Windows 10 it creates a kind of "ghost effect/problem". It normally happens at the beginning of the video.


(There is an example video below with before/after results and all Windows 7 and 10 features I quoted below)


When I run it on Windows 7 64bits it does not happen.

I'm using AviSynth (https://www.videohelp.com/software/Avisynth) 2.6

And I'm using these plugins:

SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3)
LoadPlugin("m:\temp2\RemoveGrain.dll")
LoadPlugin("m:\temp2\MaskTools2-25.dll")
LoadPlugin("m:\temp2\Depan.dll")
LoadPlugin("m:\temp2\DepanEstimate.dll")
LoadPlugin("m:\temp2\MVTools2.dll")



Example:

- Raw Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PTiXiqNmK-GzzdQipJt3GDCCVY89viES/view

- Video with AviSynth Scripts Windows 10 with this ghost image problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s38WbZj89OiKJd0_2HfDq51ULseThTjr/view



Does someone knows why it is happening?

Maybe there is/are some Plugin that has been updated to Windows 10?

Thank you so much in advance!

Sounds more like a source filter issue.

You should post your whole script and also upgrade to Avisynth+. AVS 2.6 is more or less legacy, especially the MT support is very flaky compared to Plus.

[StainlessS]

Sounds like source filter to me too, or source codec [aint there some weird probs with W10 codecs ? (EDIT: and eg DirectShowSource)].
Also update those plugins too [as well as avs+] , current mvtools etc much better than of old.
[think every one of those plugins have seen Pinterf updates].

AVS+ v3.70 :- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1933223#post1933223
MvTools[and Depan], Masktools:- https://github.com/pinterf

Not sure where removegrain is, here extrnal filters:- http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters
And x64 filters [for avs+ 64 only]:- http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth%2B_x64_plugins

[manolito]

For me the most reliable advice would be to stick with Win7 and ditch Win10... :p

I agree with the other posters that this is most likely a source filter issue. If you use a DirectShow based source filter you probably should install LAV Filters and then use the DS Filter Tweaker by CLSID to set all preferred DirectShow Filters to LAV instead of MS. Note that every Win10 update will reset these settings so you need to repeat the procedure.

Or you try to avoid using DirectShow based source filters altogether by using LSMASH or ffms2 instead.

Good luck...

[Boulder]

DirectShowSource is a huge no-no, just too much trouble. Those other two will most likely work although they also have their issues sometimes.

Hi Boulder,

That is the whole script in a PDF document (seems better to read): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SLqIISkkK-3N2RLcgsIOQGo5FyGGyqzZ/view?usp=sharing

[StainlessS]

seems better to read
Not really, just means each and everybody that wants to try it out has to extract the text from PDF in a single text line [without formatting] and then
try to repair formatting and remove the added line numbers.
A bit of a tedious task for everybody that wants to help.

Dont ever do that again, please.
Just wrap the script in CODE tags, a code tag is the word CODE surrounded by '[' and ']' characters,
and at the end use the same code tag but insert '/' before CODE, eg swapping XCODEX for CODE


some script


If I actually inserted the proper tag word CODE [without the X's] then you would not be able to see them [in forum].
Also, if you hit the "Go Advanced" button, the '#' symbol will wrap marked text in code tags, so you can see them in the edit box.


Here is extracted script, I got sick of extractinig it and so not properley formatted, but about as much as I feel like doing at the moment.
[below is wrapped in CODE tags - code in code tags keeps its formatting so long as source script has TABs converted to SPACEs,
OR, your TAB step size is 8 characters, mine is 4 characters per TAB so I have to convert TABS to SPACE]

EDIT: And we have a winner !

DirectShowSource("M:\Welington 3.11.20 - Fazer\07 WE 3capt V17JVCES10.mp4",fps=25,ConvertFPS=True)

DirectShowSource it is, and probably bad windows 10 codec.
As sombody suggested install lav filters and use the filter tweaker as noted by Manolito.
[You could also use LSMash or ffmpegsource, but would want to fix dodgy filters too anyway]

EDIT: You could also have just zipped up the avs file and put that on google drive,
the maximum post size in Usage forum is 16KB, your script is about 6KB, so easily fits a single post.

EDIT: Or indeed Pastebin, as Wondkey Donkey says below, I remembered Paste but not the Bin bit :)
EDIT: LSmashVideoSource() is very reliable for mp4, in my limited experience.
[I usually convert to AVI lossless with ffmpeg, and use AviSource].

[wonkey_monkey]

You can also paste scripts to PasteBin and specify Avisynth syntax highlighting:

[videoh]

If I actually inserted the proper tag word CODE [without the X's] then you would not be able to see them [in forum].

You are not creative enough. ;)


some script

[wonkey_monkey]

Witchcraft!

[StainlessS]

There is a better way rather than VH abuse of size [ size matters :) ],
someone posted bout this some time ago, but I forgot the tag word, NOPARSE,
here many more:- https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode

It would NOT be the worst idea in the world to add a sticky somewhere in Forum / Site Suggestions & Help pointing to that vBulletin link.

[NLPguy]

Thank you so much StainlessS and all the members that posted here.

You are right it worked when I changed the DirectShowSource to the LSMash.


My VHS tapes are in bad condition (very oxidized). Because of that, my VHS video capture are very problematic.

Till now I couldn't find out how to compare 5 captures of the same VHS. I mean, frame by frame and choosing the best frames.

Do you have knowledge about a script or/and could you give me an example of a script that does that?

How can I synchronize the captures, so that they are in the same time frame?


Thank you again!

[Boulder]

You can use Trim to match the clips. I suppose the capture method will just drop (i.e. duplicate) frames so the amount of frames per clip would be identical if you just get them to start at the same frame.

By the way, there is a method to average those different captures to produce a higher quality result and reduce the line dropouts in the image. I don't recall the exact name for the whole thing but you can find it in this or the Avisynth development forum.
