family guy seasons suggests for filters?

[gavo]

I ripped all the season dvds and I wondering what filters I should use?

[lamer_de]

A good start might be:
http://forum.doom9.org/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=1152849&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending

The DVDs seem of pretty lousy quality, so you'll probably need some strong spatial/3D smoothing [like deen, vaguedenoiser, mipsmooth etc. pp].

Else, please be more specific with your question, because if we don't know what problems you encounter we can't help you.

CU,

I'm just looking for a prewritten one or at least somewhat written one to use as a template if anyone has one from past encodes is all. As I'm not anywere cloes to a avisynth guru.

please ! please I REALLY NEED IT

If you could posts some screenshots of the video, it would make it a bit easier to recommend filters to you especially for people who haven't seen the DVDs (such as myself) and don't know the quality.

Well if that's representative of the whole seasons quality, then I'd suggest maybe using BlindDeHalo (can be found through search) to eliminate some of the EE halos and maybe a very light filtering with Deen. Other then that, judging from that screenshot alone, the picture looks pretty darn clean and doesn't seem to need much filtering at all.

Hi Gavo

How did you rip these

Force Film or not

I have these also but to me this is the most difficult part because the dvd's are Hybrid

[Mug Funky]

dude, that is super-clean. i wouldn't filter that at all! just make sure it IVTCs allright and you're set for a good encode. if it gets blocky in parts, you can deblock using the internal filter in dgdecode/mpeg2source, but i wouldn't even bother with that.

not at full screen tho/:confused:

If you're talking about the faint lines around the linework (I believe this is a form of ringing - someone correct me if I'm wrong) - I've just had that problem myself, and this is what I came up with:

http://leak.no-ip.org/AviSynth/AWarpSharpDering/

I've thrown this together to get rid of most of this kind of ringing on my Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex DVDs (shame on Bandai for creating it in the first place... :() and it works quite well on your two images too - like this:

ImageSource("zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.jpg",end=0) + \
ImageSource("760_familyguy.png",end=0)
ConvertToYV12()

AddBorders(8,8,8,8)
AWarpSharpDering(depth=16.0,diffthresh=32,lumathresh=32,debug=0)
Crop(8,8,-8,-8,align=true)

MergeChroma(Overlay(last,last.crop(0,2,0,0),opacity=0.5))

The AddBorders is there since AWarpSharp produces funky artifacts at the borders at higher depths, but it's not needed if you'll crop your clip afterwards anyway.

What I'm doing is severely AWarpSharpening the image (which of course produces quite a bit of distortion) and then replacing only the parts in the source's bright areas where the difference is below a certain threshold.

The last line helps the chroma a bit, as it seems it's been shifted down a bit in the source. This'll shift it up 2 lines and do a 50/50 blend with the original chroma.

EDIT: Might as well put up a the result:

Hope this helps... :)

(Since I'm using Pruned's AWarpSharp that SoulHunter mentioned in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=87514) and it's stored in a bit of a wobbly place I've placed it alongside the AVSI file with a bit of updated documentation taken both from MarcFD's AWarpSharp and right out of the DLL... hope they don't mind... :))

np: Zorn - Sputnik (The City's Collapsing (But Not Tonight))

what ringing? the r4 PAL version is clean as a whistle (and for once it's not a field-blend, but a very nice progressive 16:9 deal). only problem is the intro sequence is a bit jerky as it's come off the japanese version (i think they thought the english one was stupid or something).

Please - don't tell me that for once the PAL versions look better than the NTSC version, or I'm going to scream... :D

Raw (well, frame 5550 after TFM and TDecimate):

Processed (with BlindDehalo2, AWarpSharpDering, LimitedSharpen and FluxSmooth):

There wouldn't be someone here with the UK version as well who could post a few screenshots from it? (Probably not in this thread, though... :D)

EDIT: If you're using a CRT or watching it on a TV, it's probably not very noticeable (it isn't on my old 17" Panasync), but looking at that raw frame on my 17" TFT gives me the creeps...

np: Zorn - Michelle's Unblockable (The City's Collapsing (But Not Tonight))

Every version has a very noticeable level of EE in it, so bleh. :p
