Are you sure its not an MT related artifact from the split frame ?

Try using the overlap parameter if you haven't yet.

Is there x64 DctFilter, required by Deblock QED from MCTD ?
I cannot find it either in x64 AVS 2.5.8 MT thread, either on Squid80 site.....

AFAIK, no .... DCTFilter hasn't been ported yet.

But if someone *would* port it, that would be a good occasion to eliminate the stripe-bug that DCTFilter has had ever since.

If you don't use deblocking in MCTD then you don't need DctFilter

I know but even with Deblock=false my Vdub64 is crashing after few frames, and avs2avi64 after some dozens of frames.

later I will try by cut away method to detect what plugin causes it.
AVS64 itself seems to be fine.

It is a pitty, because MCTD32 is nice and stable, but little speeding up would be handful.

thanx brother .... I have ? here
LaTo this working with the mod 16
in this case i ca'nt edit the size for ex: I got with mod16 (1280 X 528 ) I got DAR 2.42.1 > but i want to fix it it must be in DAR 2.35.1 ( 1280 X 534 )
but the problem i can't because I will get the error :
This is Not a MOD4 clop! >> in this case what I will do ??!!

thanx alot LaTo ...

Width and height must be divisible by 4.

or workaround:
Addborders(0,2,0,0)
MCTemporalDenoise(...)
Crop(0,2,0,0)

thnx LaTo but but the DAR same ( 2.42:1 )

this my script :

crop( 0, 142, -2, -142)
Spline36Resize(1280,528)
Grainfactory3(1,1,1)
GradFunkMirror()
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")

how i will fix it i want to edit my Resize but i can't

LaTo can u mke update for (MCTemporalDenoise)
we want to make the control for The script not MCTemporalDenoise ... thnx

Adding grain+dither before MCTD is useless...

Try:

crop( 0, 142, -2, -142)
Spline36Resize(1280,534)

Addborders(0,0,0,2)
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")
crop(0,0,0,-2)

Grainfactory3(1,1,1)
GradFunkMirror()

Hi guys,

what do you use to fast your encoding with MCTtemporalDenoise?

This is my scrypt, where i'm trying to use MT :

SetWorkingDir("d:\avs_plugins\AviSynthPlugins\")
LoadPlugin("MT.dll")
Loadplugin("d:\avs_plugins\warpsharp.dll")

LoadPlugin("SangNom.dll")
LoadPlugin("average.dll")
LoadPlugin("Degrainmedian.dll")
Loadplugin("removegrain.dll")
LoadPlugin("Repair.dll")
LoadPlugin("gradfun2db.dll")

LoadPlugin("DGAVCDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")

loadplugin("fft3dfilter.dll")
loadplugin("hqdn3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("mvtools2.dll")
LoadPlugin("mt_masktools-26.dll")
LoadPlugin("TTempSmooth.dll")

import("d:\avs_plugins\denoisers\MCTemporalDenoise.v1.4.08.avsi")
import("d:\avs_plugins\denoisers\GradFun2DBmod.v1.5.avsi")
import("LSFmod.v1.9.avsi")
LoadPlugin("GradFun2DB")

LoadPlugin("D:\Program Files (x86)\StaxRip\Applications\AviSynth plugins\DGAVCDecode.dll")

AVCSource("L:\test_5d2\MVI_0135 temp files\MVI_0135.dga")
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")

I tried to use SetMTmode() in different way but with no success.

How could I set MT in the correct way to use all my i-920 cores in the script above?
Or, if you could suggest me alternative paths to use my i7, i would be happy!

Thanks in advance

---------------

P.S. "settings high" is the extreme setting of MCTtemporalDenoise? because i want to test it on my video shooting at 12800 iso.

ciao!

[Nephilis]

Try MT("""MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")""",threads=4) instead of SetMTMode()..

[Gannjunior]

thanks for your suggestion.
it starts and it gets 20% of cpu more or less...the encoding anyway takes me jurassic time.
if u have any other suggestion i'm happy to test it! :-)
ciao!

Hi there,

It works so it seems an improvement. What if you do not use MT, just:
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")
will your encoding time be paleolithic (even slower as it should be) ?
If not slower something is wrong in your config and/or settings
Be aware that MCTD is a slow (to very slow) filtering process!

if u have any other suggestion i'm happy to test it! :-)
ciao!

What avisynth rev and MT dll are you using?
If not 2.58 MT from SET (MT-avisynth+ MT dll) or 2.6 MT-avisynth from SET you may not have stability or performance accordingly...

For an i7, you could try to change the number of threads from 4 to 6 to 8 or even more and see if any speed improvement.

You did not state if you are encoding to xvid, x264 or other codec and what GUI you are using for that purpose; vfw xvid/divx and gui are known to be suboptimal compared to x264 and non vfw GUI for multicores ...

i'm using avisynth dll and MT dll updated to 2010 jan.

tried to set 8 core but no speed improvement

since my "raw" source is 45mbit avchd from 5d mark II, i usually recompress to h264.

Since the direct conversion to h264 of the script above in megui is more tha paleolithic, i'm encoding (now) in lagarith loseless by vdub. (passed 5h30' and i encoded 1100 frames !!!).

so you suggest to set MCTtempDen to "medium" settings? do i get an heavy denoise the same?

because from some preview i've seen that setting "high" seems to be amazing. It really drops alla the noise produced by my camera at 12800 iso but i can see a really amount of detail that camera captured.

thank you very much, ciao!!

is not SET build. Use it at your own risk

Rather, see:

Ok.
I also asked you to test with and without MT to be sure your avisynth+MT configuration is correct and you have a REAL speed gain with MT.
From a quick and dirty test encode with my Q9400 @3200 (1pass-Cq3, Xvid-encode, SD):

MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")............ is +/- 5.5 fps
MT("""MCTemporalDenoise(settings="high")""") is +/- 9.5fps

so you suggest to set MCTtempDen to "medium" settings? do i get an heavy denoise the same?

Where have you seen me suggesting that? please quote
Seriously, this is the MCTD thread, I answered on your MT problem only. For MCTD, review posts on differences between settings and tuning by LATO, very interesting.

[Gannjunior]

Sorry maybe i read in the not correct way what you wrote before!

FRom what you are sayng there is something wrong in my config, beacuse with my i7 i have to go at least at your speed...And i'm really far from 5 fps...since i don't reach 1fps !!!

which MT and avisynth .dll do you use?

Which problem do you think i could have in my config?


many thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!!
ciao!

Ok, let's say we both need to read or write the correct way. I have edited my previous post accordingly.

Link was already given for Mt-avisynth 2.58 and MT.dll from SET; once again:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148117

Yes it seems so even if my test was SD-Xvid encode.

Which problem do you think i could have in my config?

Bad installation or use?
See basics:
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MT_support_page
and/or
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MT

This is still MCTD thread and if you need more tips for MT, you'd better continue in the SET MT thread or create one (I will not post in Jeremy's thread as I don't use it).

The AA portion of MCTD seems to have broken between 1.3.09 and 1.4.08... Or am I just doing something really wrong?


New behaviour ==> http://zingaburga.com/assassinator/I...MCTD1408AA.png

Old behaviour ==> http://zingaburga.com/assassinator/I...MCTD1309AA.png



MCTemporalDenoise(aa=true,useEEDI2=false,maxd=48,aathr=16,stabilize=true)



Oh yeah, these images are produced for the sole purpose of explaining what I'm talking about in this post, so please don't tell me I should be using aa/maa/daa/whatever instead, or I shouldn't be using MCTD/denoise/whatever, since I'm not even going to be encoding this stuff.

Maybe broken, I made a lot of changes between v1.3 and v1.4...
I will look at this next month, study now

Thanks

No rush, your studies are more important.
