Post by Mysterious Pharaoh » Mon Jan 25, 2010 3:48 pm

If i have pictures like these:

Which filters i can use to make them look better? i'm still new to Avisynth so i don't know much good filters.
And if anybody knows certain filters to make the video looks better always then please tell me, the only one i know is good for all videos is 'FieldDeinterlace()'
Thanks for everyone who is going to comment.

From the looks of it it needs some croping,resizing,Sharpening and some smoothers :x.

fielddeinterlace isn't used on every source (like, say if your source is already progressive)

Sorry to say, but the source of your first pic is crap. There is little you can do with that. Deblock() should help clean up the blockiness, but the best you'll be able to do will only make it look blurry.

Death Note could use some debanding courtesy of gradfun2db(). Personally, I'd also throw in a smoother like vaguedenoiser() and a sharpener like limitedsharpenfaster()...but gradfun2db() will give you the most visible improvement.

Agree the second source could use some banding help. It also looks a bit over-smoothed to me, but nothing that cant be fixed up. The first source however, I think, is a lost cause.

The R1's of black cat are just terrible. I remember spending a day and a half just trying to get them to look DECENT enough to edit to and just couldn't find myself coping with any of the quality from the scriptwork I did. Honestly you're better off buying R2's if you have the money or just going with your second best source for the idea if you have one. It's just not worth the headaches and frustration to try and get it to look good unless your a masochist.

If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

The fact that they are jpgs doesn't help, could you post pngs just to be sure what the input quality exactly is (although I fear there isn't much difference if any for black cat...)?

I tried Deblock() before for black cat but it didn't work, and making the picture blurry isn't really useful =(
And for death note, i didn't find it really different when i added gradfun2db(). Thank you for your comment anyway =)

You mean there is no way to make it better? Didn't you find even one good filter for it the R1 after spending that day and a half?
So everyone here can't help me make it better... What's so disappointing thing :(

Perhaps vdub/mod is set to 16-bit color depth.
Options -> preferences -> main and then set output color depth to "use output setting"
