Old TV captured anime renewal, need help

[cbwarz]

Hi,

I'm trying to "restore" an old tv capture i have taped long time ago.

The source have a heavy rain, ghost, rainbow, bad saturation, ...
But i want my childs to see it :), well if it can be seen.

Have tried many filters and just want to ask if someone can point me out or suggest an avisynth script to me to try.

My current script is (AviSynth v2.07):

AVISource("c:\temp\candy.avi")
#To convert to 23.976
GreedyHMA(1,0,0,3,0,0,0)
#This cleans very good the image, if i put -100 a more
#positive value it blurs motion
PeachSmoother(200,-100,400)
# 4th parameter can't be more cause in other parts of the
#video it blurs motion
Convolution3D(0, 32, 128, 20, 250, 10, 0)
msmooth(20,130,false)


This gives me an accepted picture, but some noise can be found, and is a little blurry.

Filters already tried but maybe don't applied right: GuavaComb, Ghostbuster, AntiBlink.

Looking for ghost remove, rainbow remove or any enhancements masters can provide :).

Please help

I think, it's the wrong way to use avisynth here, because you can't preview the effects of the filters.
The best would be you use virtualdub, there you can preview most effects, so that you can change on the fly and see what helps faster.

A very usefull filter for VHS captures is flaxen's VHS filter of course :D

Hi,

Actually i load the avs into vdub to preview :)

Will check Flaxen filters: fxtoon and vhs :D

Thanks

Dust is a very good filter for noisy sources - probably even better than PeachSmoother. Definately worth a shot.

The new temporalsoften in 2.5 will probably also be able to help you.

You can preview it with avscompare-tool or what ever it is called these days. Or you can preview it with Swiftavs where it is very easy to choose your filter too.

Hi,

I tried fxvhs & fxtoon in vdub and have very very good results :D thanks.

But how can i make it run on AviSynth?
With the following script fxtoon runs with parameters, but can't find a way to fxvhs to run with parameters.

Please someone post an example of fxvhs with parameters with avisynth i really need this to work :).


Here's my current script:


LoadPlugin("c:\movie\GreedyHMA.dll")
LoadVirtualDubPlugin("c:\movie\fxvhs.vdf", "fxvhs")
LoadVirtualDubPlugin("c:\movie\fxtoon.vdf", "fxtoon")
LoadPlugin("c:\movie\PeachSmoother.dll")

avisource("c:\Movie\capture.avi")

LetterBox(25,25)

GreedyHMA(1,0,3,0,0,0,0,0)

PeachSmoother(NoiseReduction = 60, Stability = 25, Spatial = 140)

ConvertToRGB32()
#fxvhs only works with fxvhs() but i need to do more filtering :(
fxvhs(?, ?, ?, ?,...)
fxtoon(5, 200, 16)


@shodan
I'm using avisynth v2.07 :(
Thanks

Found this in a Russian page (i think)

-------------------------------

I guess i was loading fxtoon & fxvhs the wrong way, will try this later at home

I'm using fxtoon & fxvhs v1.0, if there's another script to do it, please post :)

Thanks
