Creating an AviSynth Video Enhancement Script

[ingoldie]

Most effective denoising that I can achieve without losing detail. It looks more natural but I think it is weak about denoising.

This looks fine to me.

Image comparison

that looks to me like the pavement is made of sand,..

Well yes. Worn out asphalt tends to look that way.

But that's something totally different than in the screenshot.

[hello_hello]

Personally, I prefer pictures a little blurry than looking like they've been sharpened.

I let my guard down and managed to find myself involved in this via PM a few days ago, so here's my contribution to the encoding of Original 1. It's not as sharp as other offerings, but at least bits of the picture aren't wobbling around. Well... very little.

Encoded Sample.mkv

ConvertBits(16)
ConvertToYUV420()
Stab()
CropResize(1024,768, 2,2,-2,0)
QTGMC(InputType=1, EzDenoise=1.0, Preset="very slow")
LSFMod(Strength=75)
GradFun3Plus()
ConvertBits(8, Dither=0)
Prefetch(12)

The second sample has noise in the form of background "mush"' for want of a better description. Can it be de-mushed without losing at least a tiny amount of detai?

Original Sample 2A.mkv

ConvertToYUV420()
Stab()
ConvertBits(16)
CropResize(1440,1080, 4,2,-2,0, ColorMode="601-709")
TemporalDeGrain2(degrainTR=2, grainLevel=2)
LSFMod(Strength=150)
GradFun3Plus()
ConvertBits(8, Dither=0)
Prefetch(12)

Original Sample 2B.mkv

ConvertToYUV420()
Stab()
CropResize(1440,1080, 4,2,-2,0, ColorMode="601-709")
TemporalDeGrain2(degrainTR=2, grainLevel=1)
QTGMC(InputType=1, Preset="very slow")
LSFMod(Strength=150)
ConvertBits(16)
GradFun3Plus()
ConvertBits(8, Dither=0)
Prefetch(12)

@ ingoldie,
I forgot to answer your question regarding the MDegrainNL functions I sent you. Try specifying Precise=true to see how much better that works, or doesn't as the case may be. It'll be slower.

@ Everyone else,
The MDegrainNL functions I just mentioned are much like the EzDenoise function posted above, only with more bells and whistles. MDegrainNLS is much like the MCDegrainSharp function, because it can sharpen.....

I offered the above explanation because it felt a bit rude, mentioning something in a post here that we'd only referred to via PM, so now I don't feel rude.... and if anyone wants to try the functions, there's a link below. They usually remove very fine noise or film grain quite well, but I don't use them for much more than that.

Side question: Is the source some old XviD encode or something like that?
Doesn't seem like a DVD or VHS capture or similar,... 512x384 RGB @25fps doesn't really match to any of the usual sources.

Made a few changes to fix the errors I was getting, it gives pretty good results and I'm sure people could definitely improve upon this.

Can you provide those pretty good results with their originals?

[VideoMilk78]

Can you copy this provided script and see if you like those pretty good results?

[ingoldie]

Better denoising that I can achieve without losing detail.

Why I want financial support? Because I want to devote all my time to this job instead of working in another job.
To achieve a better result.
By the way, an invention that makes money for its inventor is more respected.

I think the results are good enough now. If I share my AviSynth Video Enhancement Script we can improve upon it together to get better results.

Do you know of an organization that can provide me with financial support?

[Columbo]

Do you think you're going to make a living off developing an Avisynth script?

Try GoFundMe. That may give you some realistic feedback about the potential of your project.

I don't understand whether you despise AviSynth or care about it very much.

On the one hand, you spend a lot of time on AviSynth, and on the other hand, you don't care much about an AviSynth script that gives such realistic and natural enhanced results.

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...57#post2023157

GoFundMe is not available in the country I live.

[Columbo]

I see you're a troll now. Bye.

[ingoldie]

I'm plannig on a GUI that I will be able to insert my AviSynth Video Enhancement Script into it.

Here is the GUI on my mind;







Save; To save video files without converting their own formats

Triangular Black Button; It will view the original. Clicking on it will view the enhanced result to compare the original and the result (it will turn upside down)

What do you think about it?

So, like opening any avisynth script in VDub...?

No, reason for his GUI is to obfuscate his avs script he wants to sell you.
Just ignore him, he's been trolling with same nonsense for a decade. Basically, he's fishing for noobs' money.

It was more of a rhetorical question from me.
