The video I'm working with:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B2m...ew?usp=sharing

I'm getting a Avisynth Open Failure:

System Exception: Integer Divide by Zero

And it points to line 1830 in InpaintDelogo.avsi which reads:

BasemaskY = Imgmask.ConvertToY8(Matrix="PC.601").mt_expand().mt_expand()

I'm just trying to get started with the basic parameters:

InpaintDelogo( mask="C:\mask.bmp", Automask=0, aMix=0, Loc="590,422,-40,-34", Mode="Inpaint")

I do have a Mask.bmp in place with the logo painted over in white, with a black background. And the loc coordinates are over the logo.

Usually I get a "Integer Divide by Zero" when there's a color space issue - it appears that might be the case here?

Appreciate any help.

Share your mask too, and your full avs script.
That video is in lossless, is this original form of it?

The video's original form is a longer DVD VOB file. I converted it to Lagarith and kept the original YUV420 colorspace. But, I just tried to see if I could do a lossless MPEG2-only extraction of the needed footage using Mpg2Cut2, and it appears to have worked, so here's that if it can be helpful:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vPY...usp=share_link

And the full script:

AviSource("C:\Work\VTS_09_1.avi")
ConverttoYV12(interlaced=true)
InpaintDelogo( mask="C:\mask.bmp", Automask=0, aMix=0, Loc="590,422,-40,-34", Mode="Inpaint")

No issues here on your files.
Try to run your script without InpaintDelogo, see if you get no error.
Then run script with only "Version()" in it and post its output.
Then share the output of "AVSMeter.exe -avsinfo". [ https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=174797 ]

The script without InpaintDelogo will load without error.

Running Version():

WTF happened there? I would just delete whole plugins folder and start fresh...

I see five masktools, two QTGMC, lots of other dupes... zillion random files there.

For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\MaskTools.dll  [1.5.1.0, 2021-10-27]
C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\masktools2-25.dll  [2.1.0.0, 2021-10-27]
C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\mt_masktools-25.dll  [2.0.36.0, 2021-10-27]
C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\mt_masktools-26.dll  [2.0.36.0, 2021-10-27]
C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth+\plugins\masktools2.dll  [2.2.18.0, 2021-10-27]

And you need to get latest versions of the required plugins.

EDIT:
Is it this DVD? -> https://www.amazon.com/Festival-of-3.../dp/B01GWCQA4O
I didn't knew you could sell trailers for $129.99.
Does the logo in those trailers go ON and OFF in every trailer like in your sample video?

Hi, I'm trying to do my first delogo on a short anime episode from a Japanese TV channel.
I tried many settings, and I seem to have settled with these ones:

LWLibAVVideoSource("D:\delogo.mkv")
#InpaintDelogo(mask="D:\mask.bmp", Automask=1, aMix=2, Loc="1124,24,-52,-636", Analyze=2)
InpaintDelogo(mask="D:\mask.bmp", Loc="1124,24,-52,-636", mode="both", Analyze=1, Inflate=2, Interp=2, IntSpd=4, oTune=3, optimize2=3, dpp=-3)

This is the resulting mask with show=2


Here is a before and after pic of frame 144:



Unfortunately on some frames, the logo is still visible. Frame 1279


Is there anything I can do to improve it or is this the best I can achieve? I'll leave the drive link with the video and masks. Thanks in advance

Get better video source, this looks like some re-reencode.
Mode="Both" is wrong here, it's for semi-transparent logos, this logo is just transparent.
You analyzed frames at the end with no logo + fade-out animation, trim out those parts for analysis.
For settings like "IntSpd=4" leave 20px from the logo edges.

Use 'stronger' settings to deal with the severe deblend artifacts:

Trim(0,6960)
InpaintDelogo(mask="D:\mask.bmp", Show=2, Loc="1114,14,-42,-626", mode="Deblend", Inflate=2, IntSpd=4, Optimize2=2, dPP=-5)

Yes the source is not very good, sadly this is the only one I could find. I have recreated the mask trimming the fade-out animation, and used your suggested settings, and although it's blurrier (dPP=-5), the logo is almost unnoticeable so I'll keep it like this. Many thanks for your time

Deep respect, VoodooFX!!!
When using InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\003.png", Loc="0,0,0,0", Inflate=0 )
The color space is changing. see pictures
1. What should be changed in the script so that the color space does not change?
2. Is it possible to reduce the blur a little?

Used version v3.6 and AviSynth+3.7.2

I'm not sure what you are doing here, share the files and full script to test it. [no big files pls]

[doctorkhv]

After processing
FFmpegSource2("X:\002.mp4")
InpaintDelogo( mask="X:\002.png", Loc="0,0,0,0", Inflate=0 )

Files
1.002.mp4 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mku...usp=share_link
2.002.png https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KxJ...usp=share_link

Loaded into DaVinci Resolve and compared the original file and the file processed by InpaintDelogo.

[VoodooFX]

Color doesn't change for me, and it can't change because there is no colorspace conversion here.
Look at screenshots [001.mp4, frame 20]:

Original:


After inpainting:


Your problem I guess is in the encoding settings. Share MediaInfo of your encoded file.

For less blur try:

InpaintDelogo( mask="X:\002.png", Loc="0,0,0,0", Inflate=0, oPPm=1, oPP=3)

VoodooFX Thank you!
