SpotLess - Temporal denoise

[Stereodude]

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but is this mostly for removing spots like the examples posted and the name suggests, or can it also do the same sort of motion compensated general noise reduction as something like MCTD?

I've started playing with SpotLess, but was curious what other's have found.

At StereoDude,
Suggest try with about, RadT=1, and ThSAD = N * (8 * 8) for general denoise [where N about 6 ==>> 24].
Also, maybe something like "DC=Src.RemoveGrain(22).Blur(0.3)"

Okay, I will give it a try.

@ TDS,
maybe you missed out the final "}" at end of script, its easily done.

Thanks SssS, but the } was there, so there must be something else missing.

LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\MedianBlur2\MedianBlur2.dll")
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\mvtools\mvtools2.dll")
Import("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\SPOTLESS\Spotless.avs")
video=Spotless(video)

I know I had this working, a while ago

Req:- Pinterf MvTools2(), Pinterf Medianblur2() with MedianBlurTemporal rather than the MedianBlurT() from Didée post.
With appropriate plugins, will be AVS+ colorspace and x64 compatible.
Fine using Avs+ Prefetch() so long as current Pinterf plugins, and Frame Accurate source. RequestLinear() following the source filter might suffice as frame accurate source filter.

Only those bolded above maybe necessary, I think.
Some modes of MvTools use fftw3.dll, but not usually neccesary, I think [dont think we use those modes].
Also, current AVS+ a good idea, but should work on other.
NOTE, should be recent Pinterf version dll's.

Apart from above, you dont give any indication of what went wrong, no error message or anything, so little chance of any further assistance.
Suggest try with no arguments at all, ie Spotless(SomeClip) to see if works.

Ripbot don't give any error message and he still use it

Thanks K,

then just load script into VDub2.

Come on K, I'm right here, you knew I'd read this

So, I'd like to know how many of "you guy's" have even tried RipBot264 ??

And how many of you actually do a considerable amount of movie encoding ??

RipBot is the ONLY (free) app that can use remote PC's to assist with the encoding process, it's called "Distributed Encoding", and can use up to 16 PC's.

App's like MeGUI, VD2, Handbrake, Staxrip, etc, can only be used on the PC the app runs on.

I'm aware that RipBot has quite a few limitations, and not too many filtering options, but that's the way Atak_Snajpera has written it, and is VERY reluctant to change.....and his support for his app has declined a lot recently, and is a pretty well guarded code.

Fortunately, a guy called Pauly Dunne has incorporated a plethora of Dogway's SMDegrain based (and others) scripts & filter options, for RipBot, and provides regular updates to these and other important components of the app.

So don't knock it, 'til you try it, you might be surprised, and it would also be beneficial to the app if more "developers" like yourselves, supported it.

Spread the word...

If i change from Megui to other apps, i will change to Avspmod or selur's hybrid. And yeah, i still suprise although don't use it cause i don't know what errors when use with scripts and how to fix it

Well, you can always ask someone for help, like I do with you.

With your knowledge of MeGUI, etc, you could suss out script errors, whereas I'm not familiar with MeGUI or AvsPmod.

Hybrid is super complicated (to me anyway).

I would be interested for you to at least try RipBot, the Pauly Dunne build's, that is...

It's hard when you and me use different ver of scripts and plugins

Maybe so, but there would be a way to get them working, I'm sure.

Maybe I need to spend a bit of time with MeGUI.

@TDS,
Cant you remote connect via VNC [I used to use TightVNC on Windows or TigerVNC by same guys on Linux - have not used either for a couple of years].
You have to install VDub2 on problem machine.
Could connect to problem machine and run test script in VDub2. [and get sensible error message]

Taking wild guesses at problem is not the way to go, and a waste of time asking for assistance on D9 without any clues at all.
(maybe RipBot sends error message to log file - no error report at all would seem like a serious flaw in RipBot)

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse input from one computer to another, relaying the graphical-screen updates, over a network.[1]

VNC is platform-independent – there are clients and servers for many GUI-based operating systems and for Java. Multiple clients may connect to a VNC server at the same time. Popular uses for this technology include remote technical support and accessing files on one's work computer from one's home computer, or vice versa.

Virtual Network Computing[wikipedia]:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing
You install the VNC server on problem/remote machine, and VNC client on your local machine, and then access problem/remote machine
as if you are sitting in front of it.

EDIT: I did try othe VNC flavours, eg RealVNC and UltraVNC but neither worked well for me, Tight/Tiger VNC worked flawlessly.

As far as I know the only "checking" feature in RipBot is if you run a "new" script thru AVSMeter...sometimes it will hint as where the error might be, but rarely give details.

Doubt there is a log, hiding somewhere.

And like you suggest, I should install VD2, and get use to it

Cheers

[StainlessS]

and get use to it

Not much to get used to, just install and load script, it works or it dont, easy peasy.

I just got the latest available build, so I will see if it IS, easy peasy

I just got the latest available build of MeGUI....

It looks very old, going on the versions & dates of all it's dependencies...

Is it x86 or X64 ???

I use x64 ver and i updated all plugins manually

Yep, found & downloaded x64

Yes, I will have to figure out how to do that...
