MipSmooth 1.1.2 released

Hi!

Edit: MipSmooth has been updated to 1.1.2

Mipsmooth v1.1.2
* Removed reduce completely, as it was causing chroma shifts. (Thanks Fizick)
* Fixed incorrect frame fetched on last mip of previous frame. (Thanks Fizick)

Mipsmooth v1.1.1:
* BugFix: Weigh = true was not being respected, and always turned off.
* Adjusted presets and added "MovieHQ2", "MovieLQ2".
* Bugfix: YUY2 mode never uses reduce to avoid occational crashes.
* Scalefactor now shows the individual factor of each mip in show=true.

MipSmooth 1.1:

* Added weigh = true / false. This offers a softer blurring, like soft matrix in C3D or weighed average in SmoothHiQ.
* Scenechange was only half of what it was supposed to be. All presets adjusted.
* Presets adjust - generally doing less blurring.
* Custom presets should be recreated

Note: To recreate previous smooth mode, use "weigh=false", if you use supersoft or superstrong.

Download from: http://www.zenaria.com/kpo/avisynth/mipsmooth.html

Enjoy!

Holy smokes, you really sped this up! Playing in full res in WMP @ 23.976. I thought I remembered a couple of versions ago watching the grass grow while trying this filter, now it is real-time ... WTG!

Also, maybe I found a critter. Precede any mipsmooth statement with converttoyuy2(). You should get "Evaluate:unrecognized exception" in VDub unless it is another one of my machine specific errors.

And, yeah, I know a person would not normally do this Just trying to provide a replicatable. I was trying to use it with some DV source which was rgb24 (worked) and needed yuy2 for another filter. Got the error when I added the converttoyuy2().

mpeg2source("D:\FILE.d2v").MipSmooth() #works

mpeg2source("D:\FILE.d2v").converttoyuy2().MipSmooth() #throws error

OS XPP Avs 2.53 first release

sounds like the old scalefactor 0.5 in yuy2 not working bug is back.

Try with MipSmooth(scalefactor=0.6) and see if it crashes.

Gizmo.

gizmotech, good call. It works with MipSmooth(scalefactor=0.6).

Thanks for the update Sh0dan, it's much appreciated. I've had so much on the go lately, but I intend on trying this out very shortly.

Great filter man I really like it. I did run into a weird problem so I thought I would post it.

If I run this script using TMPGEnc
##############################################
AviSource("TestChopper.avi")

ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)

SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd.MipSmooth(preset = "VHS", scalefactor = 0.6)
oddGauva=odd.GuavaComb(Mode="NTSC", Recall=75, MaxVariation=5, Activation=30)
evn=SelectEven.MipSmooth(preset = "VHS", scalefactor = 0.6)
evnGauva=evn.GuavaComb(Mode="NTSC", Recall=75, MaxVariation=5, Activation=30)
Interleave(evnGauva,oddGauva)
LanczosResize(352,240)
Weave()

DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()

# If using TMPGEnc convert to RGB24
ConvertToRGB24(interlaced=true)
###############################################

I get an error that says "AVISynth caught an access violation at 0x01d51b1f attempting to read from 0x03fx3000"
This same script works if I use convolusion3D.

But if I use this script with UnDot everything works fine

###############################################
AviSource("TestChopper.avi")

ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)

SeparateFields()
odd=SelectOdd.UnDot()
oddMip=odd.MipSmooth(preset = "VHS")
oddMipGauva=oddMip.GuavaComb(Mode="NTSC", Recall=75, MaxVariation=5, Activation=30)
evn=SelectEven.UnDot()
evnMip=evn.MipSmooth(preset = "VHS")
evnMipGauva=evnMip.GuavaComb(Mode="NTSC", Recall=75, MaxVariation=5, Activation=30)
Interleave(oddMipGauva,evnMipGauva)
LanczosResize(352,240)
Weave()

DoubleWeave.SelectOdd()

# If using TMPGEnc convert to RGB24
ConvertToRGB24(interlaced=true)
###############################################

If you need any information let me know.

Nicely done

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on this filter, and in other areas as well. Great improvement from when I first tried this filter. Keep up the good work.

There is probably a bug in the YUY2 reduceby2. It will be used, when scalefactor is close to 0.5 and upscaler and downscaler is bilinear. So there is two workarounds:

Use "scalefactor=0.6" or "upscaler=bicubic" on YUY2 sources.

i did a kvcd (harry potter, ~155 minutes)with audio 128-48k using:

MipSmooth(preset="MovieHQ")
Undot()
Asharp(1,4)
BicubicResize(336,224,0,0.6,0,0,720,480)
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
Deen("a3d",3,4,1,4)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
Levels(0,1.1,255,0,255)
AddBorders(8,8,8,8)

the idea was use all this filter to got great compression!
MipSmooth give more compression and better quality than
Convolution3D(1,6,12,6,8,2.8,0)
got good result for only one cd 700mb!

Take a look at the "Examples & Tricks" section. Basicly it means - stronger blurring with lower thresholds. I've had some very good results with this, so I though I might add it.

sh0dan,

weighing is still disabled, at least when you save a custom preset with weigh=true, registry says that the value for weighing is 0. If I change this to 1, weighing is enabled when I use MipSmooth(preset="custom"). If I put any other arguments to the MipSmooth line, weighing is disabled again..

MipSmooth(preset="custom") # Weighing enabled if custom preset is available and MipSmoothWeigh=1

MipSmooth(preset="custom",spatial=4) # Weighing disabled even if MipSmoothWeigh=1!
