AVS 2.52 Plugin using order??

[YY1020]

I am using some plugin now,but is processing very slowest...
Some plugin below that...
1.levels
2.tweak
3.undot
4.2DCleanYUY2
5.Deen
6.MSharpen
7.MipSmooth
How can order the plugin is good and processing fast??

[Wilbert]

Sorry, I don't understand your question. You want to choose between those plugins, such that the encoding speed is reasonable fast? Could you post a script, which you are using?

[YY1020]

This my script,can you give me some advice ??

Don't use three smoothers, and remove the second YV12->YUY2 conversion. Remember at the end you have these conversions: YV12->YUY2 [first line, by opening the avi as YUY2]->YV12 [first line]->YUY2 [line 6]->YV12

Try one without the YUY2->YV12->YUY2 conversion:

[i]avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi",pixel_type="YUY2")
Telecide(post=true,gthresh=50,chroma=true,guide=1)
UnDot()
MSharpen(threshold=15,strength=100,mask=false,highq=true,debug=false)
_2DCleanYUY2(0,10,2,2,0,4,4)
Levels(0, 1.1, 255,0, 255)
Tweak(Sat=1.2,Bright=1.2)
textsub("C:\Ready\sub.ass")

or without the YV12->YUY2->YV12 conversion:

avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi",pixel_type="YUY2").ConvertToYV12()
Telecide(post=true,gthresh=50,chroma=true,guide=1)
UnDot()
MipSmooth(...)
MSharpen(threshold=15,strength=100,mask=false,highq=true,debug=false)
Levels(0, 1.1, 255,0, 255)
Tweak(Sat=1.2,Bright=1.2)
textsub("C:\Ready\sub.ass")

and adjust the settings of the smoothers.

[YY1020]

Is this one??
If this script incorrect,please add something in the script!!
THX!!!

1) You were using three smoothers: Deen, MipSmooth and -2DCleanYUY2. Of course, this takes a lot of encoding time.

2) You were using a lot of color conversions, which also takes a lot of encoding time:
a) I guess your avi is YV12? Can be checked by opening

avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi")
info()

in vdubmod. By setting pixel_type=YUY2, you force it to open as YUY2. This is the first YV12->YUY2 conversion.
b) Putting ConvertToYV12 behind it:
avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi",pixel_type="YUY2").ConvertToYV12()
is the second conversion.
c) Third conversion:

ConvertToYUY2._2DCleanYUY2(0,10,2,2,0,4,4)
d) Encoding to DivX/XviD or MPEG1/MPEG2 gives the last YUY2->YV12 conversion.

I hope that's clear now ...

I understand now.Thank you your long detail information!!!
Asking one more question,how can i check my opening colorspace??

[Wilbert]

Just make the following script:

avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi")
info()

and open it in VirtualdubMod. This will show you the color format of the avi.

In this script "ConvertToYV12" is using "ConvertToYV12()" or "ConvertToYV12(interlaced-true)"??

[Wilbert]

The default values is interlaced=false. Thus ConvertToYV12 is the same as ConvertToYV12(interlaced=false).

(...)

avisource("C:\Ready\DN\V.avi",pixel_type="YUY2")
ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
#
#IVTC
Telecide(post=true,gthresh=50,chroma=true,guide=1)
#
#Undot
UnDot()
#
#MipSmooth
MipSmooth

(...)

should do fine.

[Asmodian]

Do we still need to call functions with a () at the end if we do not want a speed penalty?

example:
UnDot()
is much faster then
UnDot

Is this still true?

[Wilbert]

No, I don't think so. At least I never put them anymore. Of course, you have to try it if you want to be sure.

[Richard Berg]

The source of this rumor is the Decomb documentation. I asked Don a long time ago to retest and remove them if no difference was found, but never got a response. I don't have AVS2AVI (the best way to benchmark) installed, someone want to give it a try? Sample script:


src = AviSource("file.avi")
a = src.ConvertToRGB32.ConvertToYUY2.ConvertToRGB32.ConvertToYUY2.ConvertToRGB32.ConvertToYUY2.ConvertToRGB32.ConvertToYUY2
b= src.ConvertToRGB32().ConvertToYUY2().ConvertToRGB32().ConvertToYUY2().ConvertToRGB32().ConvertToYUY2().ConvertToRGB32().ConvertToYUY2()

return a
#return b
