Using Noise Reduction Filter During Virtualdub Capture

[blade29]

Hello, just wondering if anyone has used the noise reduction filter during capture with Virtualdub and what you thought of the results? What settings did you use for this and type of compression for saving?

I'm looking to save some time by eliminating the need to filter out noise from my VHS captures (football games). I currently use Scenalyzer (from my VCR, through my Canopus ADVC-100, and finally through my firewire connection in my pc) to capture to AVI and CCE (version 2.67) to filter (I've used temporalsmoother, convolution3d, and dust) out noise and convert to DVD format, but this is very time consuming - 10 hours using VBR mulitipass 3X for each half (90 minutes).

I was also looking to play around with the Mainconcept MPEG Encoder program and use it's noise reduction filter and set the motion search to high to see what type of results I would get.

Anything to help reduce time, but maintain decent quality. Please let me know your suggestions and comments. Thanks.

I dont think you would be able to capture 30 frames per second if you use filters like those ;p

Hi,

For first you can alter the multipass VBR to 1. I use CCE 2.50 demo version with the latest (2.66) CCE template. When you first install the software you have this option and you can also load a template while using CCE. This will cut back time a lot. A movie took 4 hours with multipass VBR 3 and 1 hour and a couple minutes with multipas VBR 1. I dont see any significant errors, hence I dont see any errors. While encoding with multipass VBR set to tree I usually tend to get the blocky color thing. Try it. If it doesnt suits you can look further.

For me it works fine.
