Keys From The Eight

Help with testing Hi everyone, I need someone who can share a script I have on a VHS tape. I only have this YouTube recording available. Can anyone share a short excerpt of my script?

To make your remastering surpass the fans' and correct defects like the ones seen in the Chaves Forum video, here is the Complete Orientation Manual.
1. Preparation of the "Workbench" (PC)
Before starting, you need to have AviSynth+ installed and the support files in the plugins folder (C:\Program Files\AviSynth+\plugins):
- Required files: QTGMC.avsi, nnedi3.dll, CCD.dll, dfttest.dll, LutDeGhost.dll, DeSpot.dll, LSFmod.avsi.
- Attention: Without these libraries, the script will give an error when opening in MeGUI.
2. Creating the Maestro Script (.avs)
This file is a text document that contains all the restoration instructions discussed.
- Open Notepad.
- Copy and paste the code below (already with the safety adjustment to not damage the image):
--- MASTER DE PRESERVAÇÃO: CHAVES 1990 ---
SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
1. VIDEO LOADING (Capture in 4:2:2)
AVISource("captura_chaves_1990.avi")
2. DEINTERLACING AND STABILIZATION (60 FPS)
Resolves line jitter and fluidity
ConvertToYV24(interlaced=true)
QTGMC(Preset="Slower", EdiThreads=4, NoiseProcess=1)
3. DEEP CLEANING (In 480p)
CCD(7) # Remove colored spots (pink/green)
LutDeGhost(dist=4, s=10) # Remove antenna shadows (Ghosts)
dfttest(sigma=1.2, tbsize=3) # Clears tape background noise
4. PHYSICAL DEFECT REMOVAL (Aggressive but Safe)
Focus on long horizontal stripes without affecting faces
DeSpot(p1=35, p2=14, pwidth=70, pheight=2, mthresh=20, interlaced=false)
5. UPSCALE TO 1080p (4:3)
Prepares the image for modern TVs without blurring
nnedi3_rpow2(rfactor=2, cshift="Spline36Resize", fwidth=1440, fheight=1080)
6. SHARPNESS AND COLOR REFINEMENT (Post-Upscale)
LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, strength=75, overshoot=1)
Tweak(sat=1.05, cont=1.02)
Levels(0, 1.0, 255, 0, 255)
Prefetch(threads=4)
- Click Save As, choose "All Files" and save as remaster.avs in the same folder as the video.
3. Execution in MeGUI (Processing)
- Open MeGUI.
- In the AviSynth Script field, select your remaster.avs file.
- Visual Check: In the window that opens, check if the horizontal stripes and colored spots of the original video have been attenuated.
- In the Video Output field, configure the x264 encoder to Target Quality (CRF) 16 and Preset Slower.
- In Audio, load the audio file that you have already cleaned.
- Click Enqueue and then Start in the Queue tab.
4. How to know if it got better?
Your result should present three clear improvements over the fans' version:
- Solid Colors: Where the Chaves Forum video shows pink spots "leaking" into the characters, yours will have firm colors thanks to CCD(7).
- Absence of Stripes: The DeSpot configured for long stripes (pwidth=70) will erase the 1-frame tracking interferences we see in the example.
- Real Movement: Your remastering will be at 60fps real, eliminating the motion blur that the original VHS and homemade Betamax have.
Would you like me to send you a list of safe links to download the missing plugins on your computer? 😄
