Sharper Image in CCE

[caprioles9000]

Hi guys ..as everyone else i am using the "Getting the best out of CCE" guide together with the "IfoEdit & CCE guide"....to finish my dvd's .....in the Getting the best out of CCE" guide we use the following script :


LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\rmd\rmd.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)


This works fine ....however i was wondering ...the final results i get are great but they are not asd sharp as i want it to be ....i did read that there are possibilities to make the image sharper using this script with another line in it ...can anyone help me out ..i am not that good with scripts and avisynth:).....i just hope that i do remember correctly that someone posted it on the board ..just can't seem to find it anymore via search:)

sharpen() should help. value between 0 and 1. usually 0.4 will suffice

thnx da franksta ...one more little Q..where within the script should i post it ..is it supposed to go between mpeg2source and resample audio ...or should it be before that.

AFTER mpeg2source sounds about fine

sounds interesting

is it worth it using it

i made an little sample of 1 minute for trying

couldnt really see an difference

setted at (0.4)

only what i saw, my rate going down from 1.140 to 0.670

so, makes it a big difference in whole movie, or only worth it
when having probs with pic.

Just in case you watch your movies on PC: Go for WinDVD 4.0. It makes a remarkable difference in sharpness compared with Power DVD when watching SVCDs.

Have a nice weekend,

If you want CCE to work faster, use trbarry's UnFilter instead of Sharpen. You can find a thread about it in the Avisynth forum here. UnFilter is a *lot* faster than Sharpen.
