Degrain/Denoise Blu ray source.
Hello.
I am attempting to create high quality x264 mkv backups of a number of blu ray series. However many of the blu ray 1080 sources i have, contain very high amounts of grain. I have attempted using degrain median (which i use for sd sources) but am unhappy with the results. So I need a new degrain filter for avisynth that is suitable for hd sources. If anyone can advise. I have attempted to use temporal degrain as it came well reccomended but cannot get the script to work. Despite following instructions to the letter i still recieve an error "cannot load fftw3.dll". I have installed relevant plugins including fftw3.dll. It is in my plugins directory and is the latest version although i tried several vesions to no avail. So why do i still recieve this error??? Thanks Woolenllama |

Have you tried with mvtools and mdegrain2 or mdegrain3?

(I dont have 64 bit, or W7 [not currently]). EDIT: So far as I know: SysWow64 means "Windows On Windows" 64, ie normally current windows (ie 32 bit) on updated 64 bit systems, ie on a 64 bit sys, it's where you put your 32 bit stuff (very misleading & counter intuitive, MS, go figure). EDIT: Also for your amusement, According to MS, System Partition is where you boot from, and the Boot Partition is where your system lives. Dont know what I could legally say about that. MCDegrain() here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...89#post1508289 EDIT: Also get rid of FFTW3.DLL from your plug directory.

Thanks taurus. I did eventually get the dll's and plugins installed for temporal denoise. Only to be told i had run out of memory when i tried to load my final script into megui for encoding. Considering i have 12gb of 2000mhz corsair dominator i find that hard to believe but am not sure. As for 7ekno's suggestion, yes i have looked at mctemporal denoise. But for some reason, simply having the required dll's in my avisyth plugin folder, causes megui to crash when i load any script or dga project (seems to be the prieview window that is causing the crash). Do you know if this is a compatability issue with megui and if so would i be better using another program for hd encoding?

MCTemporalDenoise and TemporalDegrain are two different beasts !
TemporalDegrain was developed as the answer of the community for films like "300" which contains a lot of artificial grain nobody wants to see ! MCTemporalDenoise is a more subtle filter with so many switches and knobs.... I usually just use M(C)Degrain2 or M(C)Degrain3 and tweak them to my like. Sometimes DFTTest, fft3Dfilter, SMDegrain, Fastdegrain, or for real fast filtering good ol' Removegrain with a high setting. I dont know what made your MeGui install crash. Show us your avisynth script and make sure there are no orphaned or doublettes of the filters in your avisynth plugin dir and MeGui's plugin folder. Many times different MVtools, Removegrain dll's are causing weird behaviours. And do you use a 64bit OS and/or Avisynth MT? So many possibilities, so often incompatibility |

Did you use the setmemorymax(xxxx), if you use scripts that are very complex and call plenty of external filters like MCTemporalDenoise does then I can assume its avisynth thats running out of memory not your main memory
Try putting : SetMemoryMax(512) as the very first line in your avisynth script and try again Looking through some old posts it appears the default for avisynth is 'only' 16MB, so that might be your issue as it suggests there is no upper limit on what setmemorymax() can be set to It also suggests trying your system memory/4 if you run out of memory while running complex scripts that call external filters and/or scripts, but I think 3Gb of memory may be a tad on the ridiculous side for your system, I've used 1024 in the past without any real issues So try : SetMemoryMax(1024) and see what happens Last edited by steptoe; 9th July 2012 at 21:08. |

I've had issues with MeGUI crashing on heavy scripts too. Instead you might try using avspmod to preview the script and Moulder's Simple x264 Launcher to do the actual encoding.
