Hello,

on the page TMPGEnc MPEG1 encoding guide is a link where something is missing.

Link: "the two profiles we've provided for you"
Links to: "http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtechbeta/tmpgprofiles.zip"

Best regards,

Hello,

maybe there are two links not working:

Encoding DivX 5-Compatible video with XviD

Quick link Index:
"Where to get XviD": links to nowhere (anchor link)

Getting started:
Koepi's Site: I get a DNS error.

Best regards,
Ti

Not sure if this has been mention, but in videogetbmeth1.html, under the huffyuv section:

RGB Compression Method: You should always have this set to Predict Median (best).


Should be "Predict gradient (best)," I think.

Also, your explanation of Lagarith's mode settings (if/when Lagarith will force colorspace) was very clear and useful. Can you put a similar note in the huffyuv section regarding this matter? As I understand it:

1. Inputting YUY footage will direct huffyuv to the YUY2 compression method. If this method is "Predict median (best)," then huffyuv will choose the highest YUY compression to match the footage - which basically means that it chooses the same colorspace that went in...?

2. Inputting RGB footage will direct huffyuv to the RGB compression method, which you recommend to be "Predict gradient (best)." I am not sure what it does, but I assume it will output RGB.

Not sure if my assumptions are correct, but that's what I can gather...

It'd be nice if there were some kind of tool (a codec checker, maybe) that'll divulge the colorspace of any video that's given to it. I lose track of what I do with these lossless files sometimes. :/

As a side note, AMVapp 3.0 beta seems to be working fine for me in 32-bit Vista. Everything has been fine except for the Avisynth and DGIndex tests that run at the end of installation.

Huffyuv's colorspace selection doesnt work the same as lagariths. Huffyuv will always use either RGB or YUY2, forced depending on which mode you select.

For restoring progressive frames->editing AVS directly->telecined->2-pass IVTC->better post-processing the first script doesn't define deint and I got an error when I tried. I just threw in the deint definition from the 2nd script but I'm not sure if that's what was supposed to be there.

Yea, someone's mentioned that already. It will be fixed in the final version.

Too mmuch reading, I looked all over, but I can't figure out what the application is. Is it simply a package of various software? :?
Yo. Check out my website.

What, you mean the AMVapp? Yes.

You can find a list of all the software included in it <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtechbeta/amvapp.html">here</a>.

If you're talking about some other application, then which one?

Don't know if this has been asked, but is there any possibility that this guide will be available to download as a RAR file, like the previous version was?

In this page, the instructions for field blended footage aren't the same in the section about methods 1 and 3 as in the one for method 2, this last one being less complete. Was that intentional?

Also, that section (for methods 1 and 3) reads, "MRestore should ONLY be tried if you have PAL footage with a framerate of 25 fps. " That's actually not true. At its default values, it does return 25fps footage, but can that can be changed using the numr and denm parameters.

Here is what I mean.

mrestore(ani=true,numr=2002,denm=5005,dclip=last.crop(16,16,-16,-16))


This returns 23.976fps. To get 29.97, keep numr at 2002, but change denm to 4004. Just don't forget that it has to be used after a bob filter. The ani is a special algorithm designed to give better results for animation (true in my experience), and the dclip+crop bit has to do with avoiding mistales due to the bob (it doesn,t crop the footage, just the ara analyzed) Other parameters are also useful, but those above are the ones I'd use every time (maybe changing the crop numbers, depending on the source).

I think this filter deserves more mention. I got pretty good results using it, especially with older material (think 1980s on). It doesn't correct all the blending, all the time, but in most cases, it makes things better than they were.

wrong order ?

Postby Tiiscool » Tue Sep 11, 2007 2:20 pm

Hello,

maybe there is a mistake with the order: Dealing with Aspect Ratios

"SeparateFields()
Lanczosresize('half the quoted height',width)
Weave()"

I think Lanczosresize is wrong, first is the width and then the height ?

Cu,

Can't install Nero AAC codec right now, I think it's not on the server where the app is trying to pull it from. Is there a reason you don't simply bundle this with the AMVapp and instead require it to be downloaded each time?
