Well, I had a good play around with this last night and I'm very impressed, the script worked very well on a section of telerecording from 1963.
The main problem now is the inherant film faults, which are suddenly much more noticeable. Does anyone know what to use to remove film dirt & spots? I've tried the various filters but the results were not great. Software that allows manual "cloning" of a small area of picture from one frame to another would be ideal as most problems are on one frame but not the next. Thanks, Andy.

You could have a look at MCTemporalDenoise or MCSpuds
Both use motion compensation to try and remove just noise or grain but are incredibly slow as they use a lot of external filters and functions to achieve the results but if quality is what you want give them a try They also both use Removegrain and FFT3DFilter which a lot of people recognise as being pretty good at what they achieve along with various despot and other noise/grain filters http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139766 http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=131279 |

JohnMeyer said: Restore the sound. I do this for a living and there are lots of tricks to add "life" to muddy sound.
I could do with some pointers here too! Sorry! I use cooleditpro for most audio operations and I know my way around it very well (a career in radio helped with that!) but production not restoration is my forte. These kinescopes/telerecordings have very poor optical (mostly 16mm) sound which has a very harsh middley sound with excessive muddy bass and loads of distortion. Lovely. What do you do with the sound? |

Look for my username and "despot." I think I posted my script before. It will give you some good starting points. Here's a "before" clip:
Before Dust Removal and after: After Dust Removal Ignore the dust on the first two seconds of the "after" clip (long story). As you'll see, this technique gets rid of about 80% of the dust (and without removing the tennis ball!). As for sound, if you have Nero, you probably have the wave editor. The key tool to try is "Band Extrapolation." Last edited by johnmeyer; 17th December 2008 at 18:46. |

Hello again,
i'm still trying to understand this script... What is going on here: #use undegrained clip for final output last.MVFlowFps(backward_vec, forward_vec, num=50, den=1) Is the comment correct and if so why wouldn't you use the degrained clip? Sorry to sound stupid but its all very new. Thanks, Andy. Last edited by Floatingshed; 20th December 2008 at 18:13. |

I wonder how could you video geeks still use 60i instead of 30i ?
24p = 24 progressive frames per sec. (film) 30i = 30 interlaced frames per sec = 60 fields interlaced (ntsc) 60p = 30i Bobbed (mostly likely) where did the 60i come from? 60i = 120 field interlaced. I'm sure you don't mean that. Last edited by AnnaFan777; 20th December 2008 at 20:23. |

Doesn't "i" indicate "interlaced"? I remember a few years back, people still used "30i/29.976i" (from the textbook) I think "60i" starts from those Sony/JVC specs They think 60i is sexier, more impressive than 30i for end users. now this is confusing, sony's 60i means interlaced ntsc video, but 60i here apparently refers to progressive materials. and both are wrong Last edited by AnnaFan777; 21st December 2008 at 05:06. |

you could say "60" refers to the timebase in Hz rather than the framerate.
then the p or i denotes whether this timebase is expressed in fields per second or progressive frames per second. 60i is the standard way of saying 30fps, interlaced. it's not just marketing bunk either, as the EBU and SMPTE standards also use this terminology. @ johnmeyer: the last bit of kine i transferred must have been done on a newer machine. fields were visible when i zoomed in my TK, but i didn't have enough time alone with the film to try to line it up perfectly. also, there was natural blurring, probably in the lens used (it was gaussian-ish). weave isn't too bad on modern cameras, and not a problem at all with pin-registered scanners (unless the film is still soft from cleaning). but of course not much kine has been done with modern cameras the most recent bit of kine i can think of is the TV series "Frontline", where the documentary-style bulk of the program was shot on hi8 and kine'd to 16mm, then TK'd back to beta SP... sort of like a very expensive deinterlace.

Instinctively, I want to disagree (I was trained to think that 30i is 30 interlaced frames per second), but I can see how after using double weave for example, it's kinda sorta 60i, though it should effectively be the same as 30i. But if you were to separate the fields of double weaved "60i" it would be 120 fields per second, with every 4 being identical. And fields aren't interlaced, right? So calling it 60i while referring to fields is a bit odd to me. You've destroyed my education - I don't know what to think anymore!

As for the gate weave, it is still pretty obvious even in modern Hollywood movies. If you look at a static title, you'll see it bounce around. If you ever watch the old movies on the TCM channel, they all exhibit gate weave, even though they have been transferred to video from film using a Rank scanner, which provides near-perfect registration. The problem is that the cameras don't have the luxury of advancing the film slowly, but instead have to run at 24 fps. There is just too much stretch, pull, wobble, bounce, etc. in that process, and it only takes a fraction of a millimeter to result in fairly significan movement up there on the big screen. Raster lines should not be evident in kinescopes because back when this technology was used, a "wobble" was added to each scan line to make it vary up and down slightly. This had the effect of erasing the lines between fields. There were other techniques used, but this is the one most commonly mentioned. |
