Hi people! Recently I begun make conversion from DVD to MPEG-2. I use Avisynth as frameserver and CCE 2.62 as encoder. I try some filter for Avisynth and get satisfied results, but sometimes I can net remove quilting artefascts (same problem in DVD to MPEG-4 conversion). May be need combined some filters or important sequence applying filters. If any try solve this problem let me know.
With kind regards yup.

Hi sh0dan! This artifact look like many step on horizontal luma edges (sometime chroma edges), step has height one line. Horizontal edges have small angle, little than 30 grad. I read about DV format and this artifact origin is DCT compression with loss (ordinary DV get 5:1 compression). Term quilting I find in one manual on DV format.
yup.

Oh - it's most commonly referred to as "blocking" on this forum. (Info found on this site (http://www.adamwilt.com/pix-artifacts.html) )
You should try some smoothers.
BlindPP from the MPEG2DEC3 plugin should be able to help you.
Try BlindPP(3,4,ipp=true). Use ipp=false if your video is progessive. Look through the doc for more adjustments.
Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ") should also help.

Hi sh0dan BlindPP function (MPEG2Dec3 plugin) need YV12 input. It is O'k for DVD to DivX or XviD conversion, but for DV to MPEG-2 not very. DV decoder use YUY2 colorspace and many MPEG-2 encoder need YUY2 input. I need to colorspace conversion YUY2->YV12->YUY2. May be exist other filter for YUY2 colospace.
With kind regards yup.

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
BlindPP
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
Should do it for testing.
