fantasia in avisynth - dvd but still

Hi, I decided I wanted to improve the quality of the fantasia DVD. Even though I find it looks better than VHS, and the audio is supposed to be high quality (AC3), I find the video full of noise, interlacing and dot crawl, and the audio's volume very low.
I don't care much for size since I'm really only editing the video for personal storage.
Anyone have suggestions on how to improve the quality of the video?
for now here is a screenshot: (after crop and deinterlace filters)

Bigger

I threw in a couple of plugins i found and this is what i came up with:
Code:
MPEG2Source("project file.d2v", cpu=4)
AMVDeint(mode=4)
Crop(10,0,-10,-4)
Tweak(sat=1.1,cont=1.2)
DeGrainMedian
temporalcleaner
Lanczos4resize(720,560)
zWarpSharp(depth=8)
LSFmod(strength=120)
and the result is cleaner but still "noisy":

pic

Any suggestions on how to improve visuals?
Help with the audio normalization would also be nice.
thank you.

Use MCTemporalDenoise, or MCSPuds, They will both do a fine job on that source.

thanks for the advice.
When I try to use "MCTemporalDenoise" it gives me an error: "FFT3DFilter: cannot load FFTW3.DLL !"

EDIT:
MCSPuds works great thanks!

Did you read the "readme"?
FFTW3.DLL must be in the search path of your OS.
Normally C:\Windows\System32\ should be fine.
BTW, which OS are you using?

Windows 7 64 bit
Yeah I tried downloading FFTW3 dll and putting it in sys32 - didn't work

umm I'm sorry for the simple question but how do I go about making a sample of the video? I tried loading the vob directly in virtualdub and it gives me an error. If I load it as avisynth it creates a huge file when I output a "direct stream copy".

Where do I get the fftw3.dll?

I couldn't make a direct sample but here's a part I encoded with 700 bit rate x264: (the artifact are pretty much the same)

the FFTW3.dll should be in the FFT3dfilter files.

Re-encodes are pointless. Maybe you think it's about the same, but in fact, it is not.

Start DGIndex. Load a VOB. Use "[" + "]" buttons to mark start+end of a short segment. Then use "Save project and demux video". Et voilà, there's the sample to upload. It's really not that difficult.

Thank you for your patient comments.
Here's the sample file: (I didn't know DGIndex could do that. thanks)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/wvlbzc

about "FFTW3.dll", it still doesn't work. I tried downloading FFT3dfilter and just extracting it to both syswow64 and system32 and still doesn't work. Also in the "Features and limitations" he gives 2 links that don't work.

Edit: o.k it finally downloaded and it stopped giving me the error.
Finally works

Edit 2:
MCTemporalDenoise - does some cleaning
MC_Spuds - cleans a lot. very nice.

not need to put this library in the System directory!! Suffice it to throw the rest of the plugins and add to you script:
SetWorkingDir ( "C: \ system \ Knot \ AviSynthPlugins \")
Form of records to load plug-ins also reduced:
LoadPlugin ( "undot.dll")
LoadPlugin ( "DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin ( "Decomb521VFR2Pass-P3.dll")
LoadPlugin ( "ColorMatrix.dll")

I would not use AMVDeint. Never heard of it, and your source doesn't need it anyway. While DGIndex says that it's interlaced, it's also PAL, and stepping through it frame by frame reveals no interlacing at all. It is progressive.

MPEG2Source("D:\test1.d2v", cpu=0)
source = last
vectors = source.MVAnalyseMulti(refframes=3, pel=2, overlap=4, sharp=1, idx=1)
source.MVDegrainMulti(vectors,thSAD=800,idx=1)
LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.8, ss_y=1.8, smode=3, strength=180, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)
Tweak(cont=1.1,sat=1.1,bright=0, hue=0)
crop( 12, 0, -8, 0)
Spline36Resize(720,544)

That's because you're using the new mvtools. You need the version by josey_wells: http://www.mediafire.com/?nndnztohoze

I had this uber slow speed issue too before - try setting a higher setmemorymax and you should notice a change.

Not only is the .ru site down now, but wherever I found the zip file for FFT3DFilter, it did not contain the FFTW3.dll file.

(BUT, the html doc file within it DID highlight the need to have FFTW3.dll in the system path.)
