Dogway's Filters Packs

Lol, please search google about High bit depths video and try add converttobit(16) or converttobit(32) and compare both of them again. SMDegrain build by Dogway for speed with High bit depths video not for 8 bit video only

I thought it was ConvertBits(16)....

BTW, LouieChuckyMerry,
SMDegrain(Prefilter=SpotLess(),TR=3,ThSAD=500,RefineMotion=True,Plane=0,Chroma=False)
does not work, throws an error.
Prefilter=SpotLess() is not implemented this way within SMDegrain 4.6.0d

[DTL]

You may need to add SpotLess() function body to the script before call it or Import() .avsi file with this script function body.

Function SpotLess() is from https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=181777 .

I'm working in 16-bit (see Post #2946 (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=2002020&postcount=2946)), but will give 32-bit a try. Thanks.

ConvertBits(Bits=16)

The above works for me.

It seems to work fine for me...

I see now. This argument takes a clip too, (this is possible, I found it in an old script being (last), and I was expecting an integer argument).

I have always used PureVideo deinterlacer for IVTC from 29.97 to 23.974 by using

DGTelecide(mode=1, pthresh=3.5)
DGDecimate()

but I'd like to try something better.

What do you suggest me from your scripts without incurring in miserable performances?

I have a very old i7-2600k and a nVidia 1660 SUPER gpu and remember that I have to encode it too. :o

(I was looking at RIFE but I fear it's too heavy, mostly because of double RGB32 and back conversion and, above all, I have no idea if it's suitable for IVTC too)

[rgr]

it uses new plugin MostDiffVal.dll to run

Where can I download this plugin?

[DTL]

Latest version is https://github.com/DTL2020/MostDiffVal/releases/tag/0.2 .

But it can be replaced with Expr() call

Expr(avg, c1, c2, "x y - abs x z - abs >= y z ?")


It is slower with 8bit and may be 16bit because Expr() process always with float internally. But Expr() always available as AVS core function.

I'm looking for a simple script for adding a small transparent "watermark" image to a video clip. (eg:- like Netflix)

[DTL]

Try to load your image with alpha channel and use Overlay() - http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Overlay . If fixed opacity is enough - you can load RGB image without alpha channel and control with
float opacity = 1.0
Set overlay transparency. The value is from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 is transparent and 1.0 is fully opaque. This value is multiplied by mask luminance to form the final opacity.

Or you can load grey mask as separate image too.

Thanks DTL, but how do I add a .png file as the "watermark" ??

TBH, on the RipBot264 thread, the dev provided a pretty fancy script that I cannot get to work as displayed:-

Completely stumped, and more annoying the op who asked for help, got it work first go :(

[DTL]

Try

logo=ImageReader("mylogo.png", fps=25, use_DevIL=true, pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(logo, x=10, y=10, opacity=0.2, mask=logo.ShowAlpha("yv12"))

logo=ImageReader("mylogo.png", fps=25, use_DevIL=true, pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(logo, x=10, y=10, opacity=0.2, mask=logo.ShowAlpha("yv12"))


Thanks again, DTL,

I will see if I can get this work, but in the meantime, back on the RipBot264 thread, the op has found an issue that might be why I couldn't get that script to work.

It's an 8 bit vs 10 bit issue....

UPDATE:-

pdr came to the "rescue", it's working perfectly.

I finally had some spare time to try 32bit input, but the resulting video is very, very, very dark, and when I check the github page (https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Dogway/Avisynth-Scripts/blob/master/SMDegrain/SMDegrain.html), it states "High bitdepth denoising: Supports AviSynth+ native HBD formats, from 8-bit up to 16-bit.". Are you able to input 32bit and return successful video?

[Dogway]

Thanks DTL, but how do I add a .png file as the "watermark" ??

I just updated Logo() which is for a simple Logo addition without any hustle on the mask handling, etc.

It allows for several modes, screen, multiply, watermark, or over, with opacity and fade in, fade out options.

The update was simply to default Chroma=true when "Over" mode (the default) was being used.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

I'm trying to put Deblock_QED to use in the DeblockPack.avsi and seem to actually have it functioning correctly, but wanted to make sure before I spend time testing it. My script is

Deblock_QED()
ConvertBits(Bits=16)
TemporalDegrain2()
CAS()
Neo_F3KDB(Y=100,Cb=100,Cr=100,GrainY=0,GrainC=0)

I found that putting the Deblock_QED call after converting to 16bits made for LSD flashback-style output; does this mean that it only accepts 8bit input?

Also, while gathering the needed dependencies for Deblock_QED in the DeblockPack.avsi, I encountered the plugin BlockDetect (https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynthPlus-BlockDetect) and wondered what it does. Well, I can read what it does, but don't understand why it would be used. Thanks.

[Guest]

I posted on another thread, but got no response, and I come over here, and Louie is here, too :)

I would appreciate some advice on trying to remove the "spots" & artifacts with this video.

I have a very strange issue:

SetMemoryMax()

fmtc_resample (css="420")

Prefetch(2,6)

works, as well with prefilter=8 but with prefilter=6 I have alternating black and correct frame continuously.

Any idea?

Same version.

A simple script such as

SetCacheMode(0)
SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
LoadPlugin("D:\Eseguibili\Media\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("M:\In\The witch and the beast ~856p BDJP\01.dgi")
SMDegrain (tr=3, thSAD=300, refinemotion=false, contrasharp=false, PreFilter=6, plane=4, chroma=true, mode="MDegrain")
Prefetch(2,6)

works ok.

@tormento, I tried this only line for an upscale:
libplacebo_Resample(1920,800,filter="ewa_lanczossharp")

And it freezed avspmod. Using ffvideosource.

[Emulgator]

This is my preamble.
SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
SetFilterMTMode("LWLibavVideoSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("LWLibavAudioSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("FFVideoSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("FFAudioSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("DGSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("InpaintDelogo", 3)
You want to set Source Filters MTMode to 3.

[StvG]

@tormento, I tried this only line for an upscale:
libplacebo_Resample(1920,800,filter="ewa_lanczossharp")

And it freezed avspmod. Using ffvideosource.

Using the latest ffms2 and the latest avs_libplacebo - no issues, no freezing.

This is my preamble.
SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
SetFilterMTMode("LWLibavVideoSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("LWLibavAudioSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("FFVideoSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("FFAudioSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("DGSource", 3)
SetFilterMTMode("InpaintDelogo", 3)
You want to set Source Filters MTMode to 3.

If relatively recent versions of the filters are used, these calls does nothing. Well, they no harm but they just redundant. The reason - the recent plugins does set own MT mode. If you really want to change this internal plugin MT mode you must use SetFilterMTMode("....", force=true).
Also You cannot set the MT mode on script function calls, only on binary filters. (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/SetFilterMTMode#SetFilterMTMode) (SetFilterMTMode("InpaintDelogo", 3)).

Try with v0lt’s VirtualDub2. Avspmod is a bit picky sometimes.

What gpu do you have?

[tormento]

How to apply SMDegrain to 444 video (it comes from a halfsized 1080 to 540)?

I have some issues, trying to use GPU prefilters.

[Dogway]

What kind of issues? I'm testing 960x540 @8bit with prefilters 6, 7 and 8. Seems ok an Avspmod, is it on encode? SMdegrain call.

@dogway

This bug is true, easily reproducible. ;)

Get a UHD, Dovi or whatever, enough that it has a PQ stream.

Use:

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
LoadPlugin("D:\Eseguibili\Media\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Eseguibili\Media\DGCube\DGCube.dll")
DGSource("M:\In 4k\Mad Max - Furiosa\furiosa_804p.dgi",ct=276,cb=276,cl=0,cr=0)
z_ConvertFormat(width=1920, height=804, pixel_type="RGBP16", colorspace_op="2020:st2084:2020:limited=>rgb:st2084:2020:full", resample_filter_uv="Spline64", dither_type="error_diffusion", use_props=0)
DGCube("D:\Programmi\Media\AviSynth+\cube\PQ_to_HLG.cube", in="full", lut="full", out="full")
z_ConvertFormat(pixel_type="YUV420P10", colorspace_op="rgb:std-b67:2020:full=>2020:std-b67:2020:limited", resample_filter_uv="Spline64", dither_type="error_diffusion", use_props=0)
SMDegrain (tr=3, thSAD=300, truemotion=false, contrasharp=false, PreFilter=6, plane=4, chroma=true, mode="MDegrain")
Prefetch(2,6)

You can find the appropriate LUT in FranceBB github page.

It will give you alternating corrupted and black frames.

It doesn't work for prefilter=6 but it does for 7 and 8. Perhaps a KNLMeansCL bug, not yours.

@Dogway

Will SMDgrain work better with this release of mvtools https://github.com/DTL2020/mvtools/releases? or it can't adavange new feature?

To be clear, what is it that you're trying to achieve with this conversion ??

Some degraining & resizing down to 1080p ??

What app(s) do you prefer to use ?? (You mentioned StaxRip)

To be clear, what is it that you're trying to achieve with this conversion ??

Some degraining & resizing down to 1080p ??

What app(s) do you prefer to use ?? (You mentioned StaxRip)

hi,

this is andor s01e01

i would like to do some degraining & resizing down to 1080p and sharpening using Staxrip.

when i do degrain, sharpening for 2160p this "scribble" is little visible when you go frame by frame.... When you encode with resize only looks more visible...

I use x265 medium in crf 18-20 (with custom settings) for both 2160/1080 but when i set crf 14 for 1080 it looks better..

have you downscale it during your test?

edit:

with LFR=false, DCTFlicker=false i see it when playing frame by frame but it is less visible compare to LFR=true, DCTFlicker=true

edit 2:

this setting --rskip 2 --rskip-edge-threshold 2 from x265 also highight this problem... without it is less noticable

Having a closer look at your sample, I don't think much needs to be done to it, some of those "calls" are possibly not required, and it's messing up what should be a simple degrain & resize.

I will have a play with it in a few days...

ConvertToStacked()
GradFun3(thr=0.5, radius=12, mode=6, smode=1)
ConvertFromStacked()
I don't think those Convert.. calls are needed. Use Dogway's GradFun3Plus instead of the old GradFun3.

hi,

yes i know... i used old one to see if this issue could be related to some filters.... normally i use only Dogway's filters....

this is my last call and results:

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
SetMemoryMax()
SetCacheMode(0)
ConvertBits(16)
deep_resize(1920)
SMDegrain(tr=2, thSAD=350, thSCD2 = 100, prefilter=0, contrasharp=false, rfilter=3, LFR=false, DCTFlicker=false)
ex_unsharp(0.3,Fc=width()/1.5,safe=true) # Remove some of the dreamy look
ex_unsharp(1.0,Fc=width()*2.0,safe=true) # Extra fine sharpness
GradFun3plus(thr=0.35, radius=10, mask=2, thr_det=2, elast=2, smode=0, UV=3)
ConvertBits(10,dither=1)
Prefetch(8,12)

I think you should try removing the filters one by one to see which one triggers what you see.

i have alredy do in this way...

as i stated few post above during resizing to 1080p this issue accures more ( noticable ) than in 2160p...

strange think is that this issue is present only for this actor head...
next actor does not have this issue closly in his head....

this is my observation in his head motion...

One thing is to change the resizer. Just try a regular Spline36Resize to see if it has the same effect. It's possible that the resampling kernel selected by deep_resize is not good for your source.

thx for sugestion... :)

x265 settings are the same like i have posted above...
my standard avisynth call with replaced resizer:

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
SetMemoryMax()
SetCacheMode(0)
ConvertBits(16)
Spline36Resize(1920, 804)
SMDegrain(tr=2, thSAD=350, thSCD2 = 100, prefilter=0, contrasharp=false, rfilter=3, LFR=false, DCTFlicker=false)
ex_unsharp(0.3,Fc=width()/1.5,safe=true) # Remove some of the dreamy look
ex_unsharp(1.0,Fc=width()*2.0,safe=true) # Extra fine sharpness
GradFun3plus(thr=0.35, radius=10, mask=2, thr_det=2, elast=2, smode=0, UV=3)
ConvertBits(10,dither=1)
Prefetch(8,12)

results:

i still see this issue....
