I just don't know where there is a SmootUV 64bit dll. I can only find a SmoothUV2 from Asd-g.
real.finder's Zs_RF_Shared.avsi requires the old SmoothUV version. No idea if the new version is compatible.

Download ver 2.1.1, you can use beside latest smoothuv ver (change name SmoothUV2.dll to SmoothUV.dll from 2.1.1 cause avoid same name with SmoothUV2.dll from latest ver) cause ver 2.1.1 have name of function is only smoothuv()

I think we need to denoise before sharpening so I think this script is better for original1:

converttoyuv420
tfm(cthresh=10) # deinterlaced before upscale
lanczos4resize(1024,768)
TemporalDegrain2(postFFT=4, ppSCD1=1, thSCD2=20, fftThreads=2) # denoised
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

Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c3t4IRnCBe_ZVsnTWronbAVBknnZBskZ/view?usp=drive_link

With original2, I think we can use this script for a good result:

converttoyuv420
tfm(cthresh=10) # deinterlaced before upscale
lanczos4resize(1024,768)
YAHR3() # dehaloing
TemporalDegrain2(postFFT=4, fftThreads=2) # denoised
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

Why do you use Megui with ffms2, x264, qaac, mkvmerge(mkvtoolnix)?

There is still a loss of detail. It looks very smooth and unnatural. It doesn't seem realistic. Also dehaloing is very bad.

kedautinh12

4th October 2023, 13:13

Yeah, i can't make a magic to add more details lost when your original source was lost details too. I compared with my encoded and your original source frame by frame with 400% zoom in AVSPmod

kedautinh12

4th October 2023, 13:21

And if you want realistic from your video after denoiser, you need add clean grain back with this script
FilmGrainPlus(preset="Vision2 5218 500T")

Btw, you don't requested very high when your source video lost very much details. Hope someone can do very well with your high requested :D

Enhancement results of some Fiverr sellers

Softwares used according to what they say: Topaz, AVCLaps, HitPaw

As you can see it all looks very unnatural.

Is it that difficult to get a natural result?

I want to create an Avisynth script that will give natural results, but I cannot get enough help.

kedautinh12

12th October 2023, 16:08

Your life will better when you reduce high requested when your video source lost very much details but you blame denoiser (i compared frame by frame). If you want your source video take back details, you can try some software to draw details were losted (maybe) :D

ingoldie

12th October 2023, 16:53

If the problem is with my source video, can you show me an Avisynth script that can produce the result I want to achieve and the result video of this script?

For example an Avisynth script that can produce the following result

And deformities relate interlaced not noised.

I'm so sorry. You were right. I realized the original (full) video was progressive.

But I exported it as interlaced to split it into the following sample parts.

Original(512x384)
https://mediafire.com/file/ldfiyrscrrv85gz/Original1.avi/file

Original2(512x384)
https://mediafire.com/file/24uvlc89yzx6atx/Original2.avi/file

But I guess both interlaced and bad denoising causes deformaties during noise reduction.

For example when I use DegrainDenoiseSharpen with the default values, it doesn't cause deformaties in the original (full) progressive video.

But when I increase the value of the denoising parameters(sigma,thSAD etc.), or use other denoisers, it causes deformaties in the original (full) progressive video.

So,

neo-dfttest.dll ==> neo_dfttest.dll
neo-fft3d.dll ==> neo_fft3d.dll

Plugin file names (excluding the '.dll' part) should be of the same format as both variable names or function names, ie,
The 1st character can be "_" or Alphabetic, thereafter can also be digit.

https://i.ibb.co/DW5k1h2/1.png (https://imgbb.com/)
The incompatible name of the dll does not lead to a crash. The dll name is only important for a correct assignment of the functions and parameters for e.g. the sliders or the tooltips in the editor.

If AvsPmod crashes without showing an error message (only system error message), then there is usually a serious error. It is then usually a crash due to an access violation. So Avisynth or a dll crashes and takes AvsPmod with it into the abyss.

Are all Dll's really 32bit versions?
I have an archive here with which TemporalDegrain2 works for me. I didn't check whether they were current versions because I no longer use 32bit.
