Something like this:

Code: Select all

removegrain(21)
gradfun3(0.25,elast=6,thr_det=20)

Which doesn't completely remove the grain, just calms it down to more acceptable levels. Some finer details will be killed though. I gave other filters a quick try, but they were way too strong for this anyway.
Though, once upscaled, this is still bad to look at. Not much you can do about that.
Damn. And this is a direct DVD Rip from my collection. It's El Hazard 2. I was just hoping to use the Kiss scene between Shayla Shayla and Princess Fatora posing as Makoto. Like I said. The scene I originally linked was the worst of them all.

I wish they would remaster the entire El Hazard Series. It's one of my fav all time anime. Not to mention Shayla Shayla is my favorite anime character in all of history. Don't ask me why, Not quite sure myself. But she always has been since I originally saw the anime back in the good ole days.

If it's just one scene you need, I think you might want to give vectoring/photoshop a try. Basically, redraw the scene frame by frame so that it's properly detailed at 720p. Assuming you're doing multianime and that's the only scene you need from an SD source, you might need to do, what... 20 frames or so tops? Depends on the framerate of the animation, but yeah, assuming roughly 10-12 actual fps animation and a couple seconds long scene, it sounds about right and feasible.

I got it taken care of. Thanks for the help. Sorry for being a pester.

Also, what's a good filter for gettign rid of artifacting? I"m asking for another source now.

That's not too easy to reply if you don't specify which artifact... but I guess perhaps smoothd2 does a good job at covering generic smoothing needs? Worked well to handle blocking, noise, and ringing, for me.

Umm, it kinda looks like a pencil traced outline of the character is there after the character moves from that spot. That kinda thing.

Uhm... you mean it's blended? If it's anything close to blending, then you really can't get rid of it without Photoshop or the likes, I'm afraid.
