Well, you basically just set the mode, so you use it like removegrain(mode=x).
You should try and see what works best... in the help file it suggests mode=17, but you might want to check out the documentation yourself to see what works better for you.

I see no difference between that highest mode and the lowest mode. >_<
I added you on msn, wanna just log on there? lol
It could be faster than just replying over a forum.

fluxsmoothST() may help with stuff around the edges

removegrain is kinda weird because the strength doesn't necessarily increase with the number

some modes tend to blur a lot more than others (I usually stick with modes 2 and 5 myself)

When I enter that in my script the letting is red. |:
When I enter something like temporalcleaner() it's purple, if you know what I mean.

Nevermind I was being a moron... I was putting fluxsmooth() instead of fluxsmoothST()

Alright, so it ended up being near perfect, and I'm really too lazy considering my script is gonna take forever.

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("C:\Users\aaron\Pictures\Munto 2.d2v", cpu=6)
ConvertToYV12()
Telecide(order=1)    
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=3, threshold=1.0)
temporalcleaner()
deblock()
deen("a3d",4) 
tisophote(iterations=4,tstep=.25)
antialiasing(1,1)
fluxsmoothst(20,20)
tweak(cont=1.0, sat=1.0)
Crop(6,0,-0,-0)
lanczosresize(640,480)

>_<

P.S.I love mirkosp for helping me for about an hour and a half when it was 4:30 in the morning for him.

Umm... Currently it's going at 0-1 fp/s... It says the timeleft is 48:20:49:45...
I'm gonna let it sit overnight but what did I do of it really takes that long?

tisophote takes a bit of power IIRC

I can't help but feel that all that smoothing is gonna kill tons of detail. Try looking for a high detail scene (a fence, or leaves blowing in the wind, wood grains, etc...) and see if you're still happy with it (cleaning up that one scene may not be worth the detail you'll probably have in more of the amv)

also, dvd footage is already in yv12, so the converttoyv12 line isn't needed

Yeah... Some of the detail was lost... But they were in scenes that I would probably never use. So it's all good. >_> At this point, it says it's gonna take 1 day and 17 hours. Have any of you guys actually let it sit for over that just to convert a movie?
The killer thing is that I'm gonna have to sit through it again because I need to convert the first Munto. >_>
