Anti-aliasing script

[joshbm]

I tried to use your script... It's waaaay slow under 1 fps (lucky if it hits 1) with my Deinterlacer before that (usually get around 8-9fps with my entire script and 29-33 fps with just the deinterlacer).

It's definately *not* my computer specs:

3.2 Ghz P4
1 GB ram
300+ gb storage
etc.

not suprising.....it is designed for mfspeed. Make sure that you have the latest versions of the dll's. Try a simple script like

Source
Deinterlace
AAA(640,480) ///anti-aliasing script

and see what speeds you get. if it's still 0-1fps with your pc specs then you should try a different version of the dll's...sometimes older dll's run faster(don't ask me why). if it's not that then there might be another culprit behind the slow speed.

Q: do you have HT technology?


EDIT: I almost forgot to add that I can't even encode with that script. my weak A** machine can't handle it lol. This one might be the all time slowest script I have ever used...even worse than mftoon.

Wow, think I gonna keep this quote...


Thanks n' Bye

sweet. no joke though I can't test this on a more than 10 second clip...it's bad enough that it takes an hour per pass for that lol. but the results were what I wanted but until I get a new machine I couldn't even begin to do full episode tests.

at least with mftoon I got a solid 1-2fps lol. but good job on this script

Thank Didée, he explained me how to write this script...

Yes. I was somewhat impressed with the results of the script, but when the script takes hours to render seconds I'm definately not at all remotely interested.

[ChronoCross]

try disabling HT by going into the taskmanger while encoding and right clicking on the vdubmod process. That might make a difference from what I've read in other threads.

...then, I suppose you haven't already used antialiasing():

if you're REALLY lucky you can get 15, 20...even 25SPF (=Seconds Per Frame )

lol either way both scripts are too slow for me to implement on my current rig.

ChronoChross, SpikeSpiegel:

What are you guys doing?

Just now I'm sitting at a P3 800MHZ. Feeding a 720*432 source (but w/o any deinterlacing, just applying the plain AA functions), AntiAliasing() is running @ 1.1 fps (HQedge) resp. 1.8 fps (sobel). AAA() is running @ 2 fps with everything turned on.

On more recent machines, these functions should run in the range of 4~10 fps.

Are you talking of some other script(s) than those posted in this thread?

[ChronoCross]

negative Didée. I tried both. the AAA mainly and it barely ran.....this is what the script looks like when I use it

NTSC Material

MPEG2Source("blah.d2v")
Telecide(Order=1,Guide=1).Decimate(cycle=5)
crop(numbers inside)
AAA()

that's it. 0fps-1fps barely. my setup isn't exactly good....please note that it's a intel mobile pentium 3 with it running most of the vob's off a USB 2.0 External Drive.

my average encoding speed is 8fps.
my max encoding speed ever(no filters) 24fps
mftoon speed 1-2fps
AAA speed 0-1fps

Hm, works pretty well:



However, I had to use two instances of the filter to get rid of the aliasing, so it indeed run pretty sluggish (arund 1-2fps on athlon xp 1700). The high sharpening value of 50 caused edge halos though, so different sources might need different sharpening values.

To eliminate the halos try

AAA()
AAA()
HQDering(255)
HQDering(100)

Working friggin amazing, but haha I think I get negative fps speed.

[lamer_de]

It's way easier to just tone down the sharpening values when using AAA if you get halos Where's the point in sharpening when it creates so much artifacts you need a smoother to get rid of it? As I said, Soulhunters values which he made the standard seem to work ok for his sources or if only one instance of AAA is used. But yeah, HQDering does it's job on removing halos, although I like BlindDeHalo() better for that purpose. Often a bit harder to set up correctly, though.

The screenshots I posted were made with Unfilter values of 7 respectively 5 for the second instance.

[You Know]

is possible crate a dll filter for avisynth for antialias using directX function? I do not know if is possible apply directx function out the 3d poligon contex, for example on images or images loaded as texture on rectangle of (XXX, YYY) size.


should be more more fastest than a CPU implementation

[foxyshadis]

fft3dgpu does just that, so it's obviously possible. (Actually I don't know if it uses opengl or directx, but it's the same general idea.) As long as you pull in one or more frames and push one back out, you can do anything you can write in C++ to it (or C, or Delphi, etc). You might want to start from the fft3dgpu code if you intend to write something like that.

[Ramromulus]

Could someone post an example usage for SAA(), I can't seem to get it to work, avisynth keeps giving me invalid arguments or no such function.

[Boulder]

Do you have the SangNom and MaskTools v1.5.x dlls in your plugins folder?

[Ramromulus]

yes im just unclear how to set the width and height function

[Boulder]

What's your script and what exact error message do you get?
