SpotLess - Temporal denoise

1) Any idea why I'm now receiving the KERNEL32.dll error in VD2, even with scripts that I know are (well, were) OK before I started playing with mlrt?

2) Any suggestion for a good DeBlock plugin-filter for AviSynth?

EDIT: And thanks for showing me Dependencies, it seems more straightforward to me than Dependency Walker.

1) Delete mlrt_ov.dll and it dependencies (all openvino runtimes). Delete mlrt_ort.dll and it dependencies (all onnxruntime files, directml eventually...).

2) The @Boulder suggestion (Deblock_QED) is popular and good. In addition to his suggestion about the Dogway collection there is a section External plugins->Deblocking on the front page of the wiki. Test the more popular filters and decide which fits best in your case.

Thanks, I'll try to get it working ASAP.

Thanks, that did the trick.

Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks again for all your help with mlrt .

I thought I'd bump this up, as I haven't had any response, it's all been for Louie....Another W7 user....OMG.

I would appreciate some advice on trying to remove the "spots" & artifacts with this video.

FTLOY: Here's my result with the following script at CRF20.0.

ConvertBits(Bits=16)
Deblock_QED()
SpotLess()
TemporalDegrain2()
CAS()
Neo_F3KDB(Y=100,Cb=100,Cr=100,GrainY=0,GrainC=0)

Any fine-tuning I leave to the experts ;-) .

Wow, that looks pretty damn good to my old eyes, thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me

There must be some dependencies to support that script ???

I can't get the same result you did, what app did you use ??

My scripts need to look like this for RipBot264, I've probably missed something, I haven't done much with scripts, for a while

SetCacheMode()
SetMemoryMax(20480)
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\DCTFilter\DCTFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\Deblock\Deblock-x64.dll")
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\masktools\masktools2.dll")
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\CAS\CAS.dll")
LoadPlugin("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\neo-f3kdb\neo-f3kdb.dll")
Import("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\Deblock_QED\Deblock_QED_MT2Mod.avs")
Import("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\SPOTLESS\Spotless newest.avs")
Import("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\PD_TOOLS\TemporalDegrain\TemporalDegrain2.avs")
video=ConvertBits(video,16)
video=Neo_F3KDB(video,Y=100,Cb=100,Cr=100,GrainY=0,GrainC=0)

FTLOY: I use portable x64 MeGUI with the latest AviSynth+ (which autoloads most plugins-filters). As for dependencies, I use a search engine with "avisynth+ whateverplugin-filter" then head to the wiki or github page and reverse engineer it after reading the page (wiki) or readme (github) to learn the required dependencies, and if necessary I post here and plea for help from the geniuses. I'm a plodder, not a savant. Probably not the most efficient method, but it works for my limited knowledge of AviSynth.

Fair enough, whatever works for you that's good enough.

That script I posted actually works, but it doesn't get rid of the little black artifacts like your sample clip did, so not really sure, maybe I need to experiment with your app.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

The little black dots are what SpotLess removes. Maybe try the script

SpotLess()

and check the results, then dig deeper.

Thanks Louie, just running SpotLess(video) made all the difference, and default settings seems to be good enough.

Hello, I'm trying to use spotless to clean some scenes but using it by default it ends affecting the image in some parts (it generate distortion in the image), I tried playing a little with some settings but couldn't get any better (probably because I not understand very well what I'm doing). I uploaded a sample of the scene, any help will be greatly appreciated.

If distortion is around the edges, try adding padding of maybe 8 or 16 around distorted edges (before call to Spotless).
Padding()

Then chop (crop) it off afterwards.

[Bluedraft]

Hello StainlessS, the distortion appears throughout the whole image, see

Before Spotless


After Spoless

[StainlessS]

Try take a look at JohnMeyer post #20 for tips.

I think that there was some kind of mod of Spotless which tried to restore some removed spots, I've spent about an hour looking for it but cant find it.
Maybe somebody knows what I was looking for.

Maybe somebody knows what I was looking for.

You probably looking for: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=182831 (SpotLess + DeltaRestore)

Cu Selur

Ps.: DeSpot, with tweaked settings, might be the better filter for such a source.

[StainlessS]

Thanks Selur, that looks to be what I was looking for.

This is my standard to go for removing defects and keeping the quality intact. ThSAD should go no higher than 2000. Any more the image gets distorted. In some case i run spotless twice which is better than increasing ThSAD.

SpotLess(BlkSz=12, OLap=8/2, pel=2, Tm=false, Bblur=0.0, ThSAD=1000, RadT=1)
