InpaintDelogo - advanced logo removal & hardcoded subtitles extraction

[Emulgator]

you just Trim++Trim, something like that:

source=<yoursourcefilterhere("yoursourcepathhere")>
lastlogoframe=180*Round(framerate(source))# 180 is a placeholder for seconds of logoduration
Trim(InpaintDeLogo(source),0,lastlogoframe)++Trim(source,lastlogoframe+1,0)

Thansk for quick hint!

My video is 1h 30m long.
The whole video has a logo (upper left)
For the first 180 seconds there is also another logo (bottom right)

I made 2 BMP file (https://file.io/L1Wa6jqFCCuO):
- the first with 2 white logo masks
- the second only for logo on upper left

How can I write the script with InpaintDeLogo ?

The script would look something like this:

PHP Code:

v = LWLibAvVideoSource("D:\video.mp4")

# Here we split video and delogo only some part. Those are frame numbers in Trim(): 
v1 = v.Trim(0,50).InpaintDelogo(bottom right)
v2 = v.Trim(51,0)

# Here we join all parts and delogo whole video
v1++v2
InpaintDelogo(upper left)

PHP Code:

path="..."
pathDGD="..."
filename="...mkv"

##################################################

clipv = FFmpegSource2(path+filename)
Delogoed=InpaintDelogo(clipv, mask=path+"upper_left.bmp",  Loc="50,32,98,90")
StackHorizontal(clipv.converttorgb32().Zoom(srcx="100", srcy="70",factor="6").crop(100,120,500,420), Delogoed.converttorgb32().Zoom(srcx="100", srcy="70",factor="6").crop(100,120,500,420)) 


upper_left.bmp:


I'm hapy with the result!
Anyway, any hints to improve it?
Thanks!

Looks very good I think.

Hope this is the right place to post a question.

I, too, am stuck trying to use InpaintDelogo...

Using InpaintLoc() in a script, I have identified the Loc values for the mask. It works. I see a light yellow region in the video preview.

But then when I try to automatically create the mask, MeGUI fails with the error "The video stream cannot be opened". I.e., InpaintLoc() works, but InpaintDelogo() doesn't.

Here's my script:

Import("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64\InpaintDelogo.avsi")
LoadPlugin("C:\MeGUI-2944-64\tools\lsmash\LSMASHSource.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\MeGUI-2944-64\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
LWLibavVideoSource("C:\MyMovie 1080i HDTV MPEG-2 AAC2.0.mkv")
tfm(order=1).tdecimate()
# InpaintLoc(Loc="1144,950,70,88")
InpaintDelogo(mask="C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64\Logo Database\MyMask.1080_v1_1144-950.bmp", Loc="1144,950,70,88", Automask=1, aMix=5)

IIUC, this should create the mask file. The source is a TS file. I have converted it to MKV using mkvtoolnix, and also tried making a D2V file using DGIndex (and then opening it using MPEG2Source()), but regardless I always get the same error from MeGUI.

What am I doing wrong?

Post full MeGUI's Log.
And you could cut and share a small sample of video to reproduce.

Thanks for your message. After restarting my PC, curiously the error changed to something different. The error was due to a missing DLL (AvsInPaint.dll).

I fixed that, but now there's another error. Evidently I'm still doing something wrong.

Here's the log and a short sample of the video:

I'm trying to set up the logo file, remove the logo, convert the video from 29.97 fps, fix the aspect ratio and remove the black bars on the sides.

Tested your shared script and file - no problems.

Did you installed all other requirements?
You could share what "AVSMeter64 -avsinfo" shows.

Log doesn't match your shared script, post the avs script matching the error.

Check if that txt file exists.
What is "NihonEiga.1080_v1_1144-950.bmp"? There is only "NihonEiga.1080_v2_1310-948.ebmp" in the current "Logo Database".

[frobber]

Thanks. I believe I have installed all the requirements (though of course maybe I flubbed something).

Here is the AviSynth Info Tool readout:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/ty4y9s

Running the AVS script took hours, so before I post that, could I confirm that I'm on the right track? Probably I need to change the script first.

As you see, there is already a logo in the database, but its position in the frame is different, and the frame in the video I've got appears horizontally squished, so I assumed that I need(?) to create a new BMP file for the logo. And that's where I'm stuck.

The TXT file is missing because I didn't create it. I don't know what it's supposed to be about.

Basically, I am unclear on the steps that I need to take.

TIA !

You can run tests on smaller portion of video, you can limit video with Trim().

You can move it as you like by changing Loc coords and you don't need to create anything for those ebmp masks in database.

InpaintDelogo creates it. No idea how you get that error as you didn't shared the script. And I don't know any way how such error could be produced.

Basically we are not clear what you are doing out there as you didn't described your steps.

This one missing (not needed by default):

C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins64+\AddGrainC.dll  [1.8.4.0, 2022-02-15]

[frobber]

OK, here's the script and log file:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/dz2j4c

I tried updating the old DLLs and adding the missing AddGrainC.dll, but I still get the same error.

What next?
