I have an old DVD which is almost unwatchable (a VHS transfer?) and I am trying using avisynth to restore it and encode it transparently.
A small sample is here
http://rapidshare.com/files/17240935..._LIVE.vob.html
The first problem I noticed is dot crawling. TComb(0) I think it remove it
The second was rainbow artifacts. I did try DeRaibow() but that made almost all color to disappear. I rewrote the ChubbyRain2() to use the mt_* functions
Quote:
function ChubbyRain2(clip c, int "th", int "radius", bool "show", int "sft")
{
#based on Mug Funky's ChubbyRain
th = default(th,10)
radius = default(radius,10)
show = default(show,false)
sft = default (sft, 10)
u = c.utoy()
v = c.vtoy()
uc = u.mt_convolution(horizontal="1",vertical="1 -2 1",Y=3,U=0,V=0)
vc = v.mt_convolution(horizontal="1",vertical="1 -2 1",Y=3,U=0,V=0)
cc = c.mt_convolution(horizontal="1",vertical="1 2 1",Y=2,U=3,V=3).bifrost(interlaced=false).cnr2().temporalsoften(radius,0,sft,2,2)
rainbow=mt_lutxy(uc,vc,Yexpr=string("x y + "+string(th)+" > 256 0 ?")).pointresize(c.width,c.height).mt_expand(y=3,u=-128,v=-128)#.blur(1.5)
overlay(c,cc,mask=rainbow)
show==true? rainbow : last
}

which made a much better job, but still I don't know if it's the one suit for this video.
I still have two problems.
1) Color leaking or Halo ? (I havn't the slightest idea how to describe this)
2) Deinterlacing, i tried
TDeint(slow=2, MtnMode=3, edeint=NNEDI(), emask=TMM())
YadifMod(EDeint=NNEDI())
and Yadif() all did not produced a stable image
McBob did produce a much more stable image (still it's not perfect) but it leaves deinterlacing artifacts (jagged lines in some frames)
so up to now my script is like that
ChubbyRain2()
TComb(0)
TDeint(slow=2, edeint=NNEDI(), emask=TMM())
#YadifMod(EDeint=NNEDI())
#Yadif()
Vinverse()
Crop(14,0,-6,-0)
any suggestions ?
