How to disable de-interlace in ffms2 source

[Sharc]

You may also want to give RETINEX (for Avisynth) a try.

1. You need to have installed both AviSynth+ x64 and AviSynth x86. (in case you don't have already)
2. You need HDRAGC plugin to be in the plugins/plugins+ folder.
3. You need ffms2 plugin to be in the plugins64/plugins64+ folder.

Try:

SetMemoryMax(3072)

Thanks to both of you! Retinex works great and the script also worked. I was able to run MP_Pipeline without further ado! Thanks again!

Please find above a Google Drive link to a 2 min video from our 25-year-old movie. It’s AVC (x264) with YUY2 color space because I’m working with MJPEG originals. Below you will find a script that opens the video and applies one or another of two separate luminance adjusting plugins. The scenes were all shot on a bus against the backdrop of a window. So the window is overexposed and the actors are underexposed. That, of course, is what I want to fix. I really like the appearance of Retinex plugin but sometimes the artifacts or a strobing of the background luminance caused me to opt for HDRAGC. I especially noticed this strobing in the close ups as indicated in the script notes. Does anyone know what might be causing this strobing or if there is some way to eliminate it?

I am very much indebted to Sharc for coming up with a workaround for opening my corrupted archive file of the movie. That was a life-saver! Also thanks for telling me about QTGMC. My original footage was 50i and now the file above is a pristine 50p – really amazing stuff! Also, thanks for telling me about Retinex. Thanks also, to Emulgator for the 32 bit version of VirtualDub2 and to StvG for telling me about MP_Pipeline ( V.0.23) which the script below utilizes. If someone knows how to tweak Retinex to solve the strobing problem, I would be much obliged. I have been experimenting with both plugins for weeks now but am at somewhat of a crossroads. I also, understand, if nobody has the time. We live in a busy world!

Here is a link to the AVS file, in case my copy and paste below doesn’t work:

# This script will only work if you have the MP_pipeline plugin up and running on your system (and the other two plugins) First, I open the audio, upstream of the pipeline
# Then I open the video only within the 64 bit portion of the pipeline. Then I separate the 2 min video into 6 sceens. I do this three
# seperate times in the script. First the 64 bit Retinex (version 1.0.3) plugin either adjusts the luminance or it doesn't depending on whether it is turned
# on or off (by toggling "#") Downstream, in the 32 bit portion of the pipeline, the 32 bit HDRAGC (High Dynamic Range Automatic Gain Control) (version 1.8.7)
# plugin, either adjusts the luminance or it doesn't depending on whether this commend is turned on or off in the script. Every scene in this
# series of sceens was poorly illuminated, so I apply one or the other plugins to every sceen. However, the two plugins could both be disabled "#" in both
# the 64 and 32 bit portion of the script respectively, in which case the script would pass the unaltered sceen downstream, where it could be returned as
# Sceen001c, for example. Therefore, for example, Sceen002a, Sceen002b, and Sceen002c each contain the very same frames of the original luma.avi file. Normally,
# you would only want to return the "c" set of sceens. It's the only one with the audio, anyway. In this original version of the script, I have only opted for HDRAGC over Retinex at Sceen003 because Retinex
# was bright, but the resulting artifacts in Reka's hair were too much. So I preferred to live with the darkness rather than the hovering cloud like artifact. I prefer
# the visual appearance of the Retinex plugin, but the strobbing-background problem, especially in the close up sceens caused be to opt instead for HDRAGC. I have, however, left
# the Retinex on in this script, so that you can see for yourself the strobbing.

If you’re interested in knowing what the actors are saying, please find below a link to the entire 61 min drama with English subtitles. The young ladies’ conversation starts at 14 min 30 sec and lasts for 2 min 17 sec. The conversation stands on its own. SPOILER ALERT! The film is religious content on steroids!

@ Emulgator

Thanks again for your interest in my problem! That was so kind of you! In the meantime, I have been working further on the problem. I took your cue and started working with the raw archive footage before passing it through the de-interlacer. Alas, the strobing problem – lightening and darkening of the background – wasn’t fixed. Then, I decided to put white borders around the clips (settled on 200 pixels all around) before passing them to the Retinex filter and cropping them off afterwards. That seems to have done the trick.

Please find here a Google Drive link to the video output of the script which I have cut and pasted below.

I was even able to use much stronger settings (lowered “sigma” from 120 to 60) for the effect. This did produce another distortion effect, a sort of halo that surrounds the two girls in scenes 2 and 4. I think I can live with that. Do you think there is any way to improve on these results? I must admit that I am pleasantly pleased. Really interested in your feedback.

This gives 720x544x50p YUV444P10 with lots of detail.
It still needs colour matching to sunlight per shot, your turn (MSRCR amplifies sky casts: sometimes pinkish tint, sometimes cyan tint).

P.S. SMDegrain to your liking, ReGrain...well, there they are. Couldn't resist.

@ Emulgator

Wow! Very impressive script. I can't make heads nor tails of it. I am getting the following error: "No such video file" at line 47, but can't figure out what file it is looking for. Also, I noticed in your script that you call QTGMCp(). I only have QTGMC() installed. Will that give me problems? I can't wait to see your results, but I will have to since I am out of town the next 4 days without Internet!

[Emulgator]

Ah, forgot to mention: Name the script after your file and put it side by side like that: "LumaMJPEG.avi.avs"
Or just cut off all the intro including # ----- End of AutoPath 1 Videostream + 0 or 1 Audiostream -----
and start with LWLibavVideoSource(), LWLibavAudioSource() as usual.

Why QTGMCp() ? It seems to be the gold standard for me now, gets so much details out of interlaced sources, be it VHS or any other.
For trying your script QTGMC is fine too.

Rendering 6850frames @ 2,4fps now into a H.264 4:2:0 10bit .mkv
BTW, just as I saw the scene in the completed movie:
My result is not that much different from what you already achieved in the final movie. Maybe less strobing..
I just prefiltered before Retinex to make it less hard for it, and postfiltered again.

[Sharc]

A luma mask may help to prevent the clipped bright sky from just turning occasionally into grey by the filtering (file fx.mp4 of post#28).
Something like

lmask=clip.mt_binarize(threshold=58,upper=true).converttoYV12(interlaced=true).GaussianBlur(varY=2000.0).grayscale()    
overlay(<your filtering>,mask=lmask)

(I usually apply Retinex with a mask, for example)

I do have Internet afterall, but am not at my usual workstation. I couldn't get your script to run on this machine, but will try again back at home. Thanks again!

I tried adding your code to my script but avisynth+ didn't recognize GaussianBlur(). Here is my modified script below: I inserted your code

Prinipally you can replace it by any very strong blurrer. Very strong because one does not want to have sharp transitions between filtered and unfiltered areas in a picture.
