I'm trying to encode the Saber Marionette J Again OAV. I encoded the first episode last night and ended up with quite poor results. So I gave up on trying to IVCT is. It seems to be really interlaced and has a lot of panning scenes that stutter when IVTCed. So I'm going to just deinterlace it. Anyways, on to the subject I want help with. Dot crawls seem to be rampant in this anime. Here is a very good example:

Without Filters (http://mysite.verizon.net/res0xeep/smja01.png) (deinterlace and resized only)
With Filters (http://mysite.verizon.net/res0xeep/smja02.png)

As you can see, they are rather unsightly. >< My current AVS script file is:


LoadPlugin("f:\encoding\avs\mpeg2dec3dg.dll")
LoadPlugin("f:\encoding\avs\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\encoding\avs\tomsmocomp.dll")
LoadPlugin("f:\encoding\avs\Convolution3dyv12.dll")
LoadPlugin("f:\encoding\avs\warpsharp.dll")
LoadPlugin("f:\encoding\avs\fluxsmooth.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\Encoding\smja01.d2v")
TomsMoComp(1,5,1)
crop(10,0,698,480)
BilinearResize(640,480)
Convolution3d("AnimeBQ")
WarpSharp(40)
fluxsmooth(10,-1)
Undot()


This of course cleans my anime up to what I want, just not the dot crawls. I tried guavacomb, but not sure what settings to use. Each setting I've tried (from other people's post) don't look like they made any difference. Any help is much appreciated.

Guava is the best you'll find until someone write a filter which operates based on frequency.

Having said that, you might find this helpful: http://home.earthlink.net/~tacosalad/video/dotcrawl.html
