Just to make sure, what function or fix is needed?

you forget? it's merge in float, you give me fixed build but I am wait for public build

[pinterf]

O.k. I thought that I had promised something else for example IsVideoFloat. So expect it possibly on the next week.

edit for ResizeX and edi_rpow2, to support YUVA and HBD

[magiblot]

I'm using sanimebob on a NTSC clip with YUY2 colorspace:

AVISource(...) #Lagarith YUY2 source
sanimebob(1)

I have the following plugin versions:

• sanimebob: Advanced Denoising and anime bob v1.42
• tmm2: last Github release (0.1.1)
• MaskTools2: last Github release (2.2.4) #edit: now 2.2.5
• QTGMC: 3.355 #edit: updated to 3.357
• AnimeIVTC: v2.20 2017-02-09 mod
• SMDegrain: 3.1.2.90s #edit: updated to 92s

Changing sanimebob's parameters doesn't solve it (even with useqtgmc = 0).

Do I lack some update or is it a bug?

Here is a video sample:

By the way, is there any detailed explanation of what sanimebob's parameters do?

Thanks a lot for developing all those functions!

Tmm2 only supports planar colorspace, so no native YUY2.
Try to replace tmm2 with the old tmm1, or convert to YV16 at the beginning (assuming that both sanimebob and animeivtc can work with planar yv16 to begin with).

you can't use yv16 now cuz not all plugins support it yet

and yuy2 should work cuz I did some code to convert to yv16 and back to yuy2 for these cases, I am checking now

can't reproduce, are you sure you using it with yuy2 not yv16? what source function you use? ffms2? or AVISource?

about sanimebob's parameters

useQTGMC:- not need for explain, it's clear, 0 will not use QTGMC at all

bobpresmooth:- will did some smooth for make the output more stable

Str, Amp, TV_range:- see SMDegrain

usedaa3mod, usesmam:- not need for explain, they clear

tr2:- see QTGMC

update to masktools 2.2.5 done for many functions in 1st post

[magiblot]

I use AVISource to import the clip.
Maybe it's related to the AviSynth version I use. What's your AviSynth version? I'll try updating when I get back home.
Thanks for the parameter explanation. What does useQTGMC do for values bigger than 1?

I don't use a specific version, most of times I change the avs in mpp by load it's dll in it, but my test done with 2.61 in xp and last 2.6 by set in windows server 2008 r2

it will be used in some settings that should be work with anime and so, take a look at the function code for more informations

Indeed, updating Avisynth fixed the problem (I was stuck at an old AVS+ release that came with installer). I'm using now last version of AVS+ from Groucho's version switcher.
However, output colorspace is YV16, according to AvsPmod. Is that expected to happen?

AviSource(..) #Lagarith NTSC interlaced YUY2 source, VHS capture through composite video cable
sanimebob(1, usedaa3mod=true)

EDIT: Well, it's not fixed completely... the bottom half of the video still has some problems. It's hard to see them now (you need to zoom in a lot), but they are definitely there (this doesn't happen if converting to YV12 (with interlaced=true) before calling sanimebob).





I will upload more video samples later which contain the parts where I'm spotting these errors.

1: Uncompressed YV16 video with the error (first snapshot) -

2: Same cutscene but it's a direct stream copy of the original -

make sure the output from AVISource is YUY2 not yv16, if it yv16 then convert it to YUY2

weird, it's work fine here (xp and windows server 2008 r2) and the output is YUY2

make sure that you use last Animeivtc (2.20 or up) script and last days I did update many scripts for masktools 2.2.5 and up

[magiblot]

Ok, I'll try with AviSynth 2.6 later.

it work fine in last avs+ in both xp and windows server 2008 r2, see my edit in previous post

Yes, I have everything up to date , however I might not face the problem anymore since I have been able to match the fields manually.

Actually, the video source seems to have a 3:2 pulldown. However, none of the IVTC filters I tried could match the fields properly (TFM, AnimeIVTC(mode=1)). Then I decided to bob, but for some reason srestore wasn't working either.

After that, I detected the frame repeating pattern and decimated the frames from the bobbed clip myself, with a simple SelectEvery call.

However, I realised that I could just match the fields directly from the original clip, instead of bobbing and discarding frames. So, I was able to do it with the following pattern:

AviSource(..) #Lagarith NTSC interlaced YUY2 source, VHS capture through composite video cable
trim(..) #Discards initial frames that don't belong to the animation with 3:2 pulldown
SeparateFields()
separated = last

f0 = separated.selectevery(10,0,1).Weave()
f1 = separated.selectevery(10,2,3).Weave()
f2 = separated.selectevery(10,4,5).Weave()
f3 = separated.selectevery(10,6,9).Weave() #"fields" 7 and 8 don't form an actual frame

Interleave(f0,f1,f2,f3)
daa3mod() #this is necessary because the source comes from VHS and is very unstable

I will upload a longer sample of my source in case you are interested in testing your IVTC functions with it.

EDIT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Y...ew?usp=sharing - lossy sample (x264 CRF 18 because the original lossless is too big for sharing)

Also, I have now other difficulties which are not related to this thread, so I'm opening a new one for that.

[real.finder]

maybe you have two .avsi for animeivtc in autoload folder, one old and one not

and you say 2.00 and it 2.20

anyway, I will see the sample now

[hello_hello]

magiblot appears to be using SMDegrain 3.1.2.90s which appears to be quite broken. Would that be causing the problem?

Version 3.1.2.90s was producing some sort of weird frame blended for me (progressive source) until I upgraded to version 3.1.2.92s, or downgraded to version 3.1.2.87s again.
