View Full Version : DeSpot and Black streaks from dirty heads...

Hi there... i've been reading the forums (for the past 5 hours) and trying to use despot to remove some black streaks from this VCR capture.

From what i noticed, despot uses adjacent frames to find out what should go in the palce where the black streak (on my case) is. While it does works wonders (as showed on the image below.. check her chest), it doesn't work that much when the head is so dirt that the black streaks propagate through different frames (check the left border of the image - those streaks are there, dancing around, the entire 22 minute episode. Still, they're not always on the same place)

But it does work... and it also works nicely on other video areas (which i couldn't find right now) that have lots os treaks (still, it fixes some of them and leave others of them behind).

So i figured out i would just make the settings "stronger" so it would fix more streaks... but i must be stupid as hell, because i can't figure out what the options do (even tho iread and re-read the official page a million times)...

Here's my Avisynth script..

Yeah, i'm using vobs as i used a desktop dvd recorder to transfer the VHS to DVD before editing.
As you can notice, i'm using the example options from despot official page... like i'm said, i must be a real retarded, since i can't really understand what the options do...

So, if anybody has any ideas or could shed some light on some key options... that would sure help out a lot...

1. I am VERY prefer discuss DeSpot problem in DeSpot "official" thread.
2. IMHO, it is impossible to restore the left border of your pic with DeSpot if black streaks propagate through different frames
