enhance VHS Anime Quality recorded from TV

[Mounir]

The following code work great for anime (chroma bleeding), change the depth according to your needs
chromavid = awarpsharp2(depth=28, chroma=4) # chroma 4 makes the diff for animes
mergechroma(chromavid,1.0)


and i agree with chainmax seems accessive for your source me believe

[FlaShow]

Thanks guys the best result i get is using the code provided. I know there is repeats of aWarpSharp and FastLineDarken but the result too good .
I have one question to ask. there some noise on the video can remove on reduce it or not & the video brightness too high in some point can i reduce it a little without damage video in other point...?!

The before shots do not show that much noise, and the insanely excessive denoising you are already doing (dfttest and deen are denoisers, and both dehalo_alpha and deblock can wipe out small details and do away with some noise) should have removed everything already. Supersampling by 2x using Spline36Resize is also a terrible way to do it: depending on what you need, EEDI2 or NNEDI3 are much better alternatives. As for varying brightness levels, think about it: do you really want us to recommend something without having any idea what the problem looks like?

The best thing you can do right now is provide us with an unprocessed source sample so we can have a go at it. Until then, we can scarcely help you any more than we have, which has been little, since you dismissed everything so far, mind you.

Try the script (1st post) from this old thread. It's the benchmark IMHO.

I got in a quick first try, but mediafire seems to need subscription to upload stuff now. Any idea of an alternative?

That's weird, unless you mean that you have to register.

If that's the case, you might want to try GuerillaMail. (Haha)
At least then you won't be bothered by those pesky emails stuffing your actual inbox. (Because your "new" email is suddenly gone after an hour. Oopsie.)

More and more file transfer portals transform themselves, at the pressure of content industry, in cloud type services. That means you can download only what you uploaded (for how long, well, we'll see). 99.99% of the current files are under someone elses' copyright, anyway .

I refuse to create an account for a service I only use very sporadically.

FlaShow: thanks for the suggestion, here's my try: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1dcu...zp/n/mytry_mp4
As you can see, I did nothing regarding the spots, black squiggles and horizontal white streaks, as I have extremely limited experience with that. You will have to do some reading abot DeSpot and VHS tracking-like artifact removal.
As for the logo removal was a quite bad job, and in my opinion distracted far more from the watching process than leaving the logo in would have done. Do consider leaving the logo in.

[FlaShow]

This is really a good job. If it possible can you provide the script for me. please ?!
For logo can i get better result if i use avisynth filter instead of using ViertualDub filters ?!

I will read about DeSpot & VHS tracking artifact removal for sure...

I could not pick up the video with AVISource, so I loaded it with the ffms2 plugin. If you go that route, you have to separate the audio, load it with FFAudioSource right after the FFVideoSource line, the AudioDub them together before doing the rest of the filtering. You can find the latest versions of each filter and function in the Avisynth Wiki.
