Awfull noisy Japanese DVD ...

[lunix]

hi,

I try to encode the jp. R2 DVDs of Wind (Anime). But.. i can't remove the noise.

At the moment i use following script:

mpeg2dec3_Mpeg2Source("video_Vol01.d2v")
Telecide(hints=false,order=1,post=2,blend=true,ovr="video_Vol01.d2v.tel.txt")
Decimate(cycle=5,quality=3,ovr="video_Vol01.d2v.dec.txt")
Crop(4,0,-4,0)
removedirt()
Undot()
Convolution3d("animeBQ")
AWarpSharp()
LanczosResize(720,480)

And a Sample of the source: http://www.uploadhut.com/upload/176533.vob

Someone an idea how i can handle this ?

This material looks very clean to me. Can you show where the noise is that you want to get rid of? Unless it's my eyes.

ok, in the background, it's very noisy...

i've upload a second sample and a frame-compare between each frame in the first sample:

2nd-sample: http://lunix.dyndns.org/wind2.vob
Compare: http://lunix.dyndns.org/1.avi

2nd Problem is, that all color gradients are chiseled - so that you see noisy filled surfaces in the final encode in xvid..

3rd Problem are these vertical block-lines.. i don't know how to remove them or why this is there.. you should see this already on your screenie.

script for compare:
a = Mpeg2Source("123.d2v").ConvertToYUY2()
OverLay(a, Subtract(a.Trim(1,0),a).coloryuv(autogain=true), 0, 0, mode="add", opacity=0.25)

changed encoding script:
#Source
mpeg2dec3_Mpeg2Source("C:\Projekts\wind\encode\video_Vol01.d2v")
ColorMatrix(d2v="C:\Projekts\wind\encode\video_Vol01.d2v")

#Deinterlace
Telecide(hints=false,order=1,post=2,blend=true,ovr="C:\Projekts\wind\encode\video_Vol01.d2v.tel.txt")
Decimate(cycle=5,quality=3,ovr="C:\Projekts\wind\encode\video_Vol01.d2v.dec.txt")

#crop
Crop(4,0,-4,0)

#resize
LanczosResize(720,480)

Tweak(hue=1,sat=1,bright=3)

#Denoising
Undot()
converttoyuy2()
pixieDust(limit=8)
#aeryDust(7)
BlindPP(quant=16,cpu=4,moderate_h=40,moderate_v=50)
converttoyv12()

#Sharpen
LimitedSharpen(dest_x=640,dest_y=480,Smode=3,strength=100,Lmode=2,wide=true)
Undot()

#Smoother
TTempSmooth()
Convolution3D(preset="animeHQ")

i hope you can help me..

seriously, this is a clean source. you don't need any of those filters. depending on your target bitrate, you can just decode as-is and encode to xvid interlaced (this is no doubt a hybrid 24p/30p, so deinterlace/IVTC will only hurt it).

if you're targeting a lower bitrate you can resize to 640x480 and encode interlaced, or IVTC it (maybe blending the 30p bits using TFM instead of telecide) and resize to 512x384.

a 16:9 movie to 640x480 ???

btw. no, i don't want to produce a interlaced xvid...

The aspect ratio is independent of the resolution -- because the pixels don't have to be square.

@Mug Funky - I'm curious: how did you know that it was hybrid? (I assume you didn't step through it frame by frame!)

If it's hybrid, go YATTA ( http://yatta.mellbin.org ) on it and turn it into a VFR mkv. That way you'll get better anamorphic support too.
