dvd ripping and file changing - Noir

[jusanthermemory]

Im just wondering if anybody has followed Ermacs guide ( http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... ogetb.html) and ripped the first dvd of noir. I followed it step-by-step starting with ripping the dvd then making the avs script and putting in all the interlacing stuff but its still coming out blurry and its quite jumpy switching frames. I think I did everything right . Im wanting to learn how to edit videos and that type of stuff and figured this would be a good place to start. But if anybody has had luck could they share what they did or if you used different methods share those to?

thanks alot for any help at all

...its quite jumpy switching frames.

If you haven't a really powerfull PC, it'll always do. Frameserving with AviSynth needs much calculating power, especially if many filters are applied.

...its still coming out blurry....

I use the Noir DVD's, and I decided not to use AviSynth. Even if I only frameserve to VirtualDubMod, without any filtering, it looks like spit out. With deinterlacing it becomes worse. I have no idea why, and because Noir is the only source I have, I can't say if it always does that.

The way that works good to me is this:
- open the .vob file in VirtualDubMod
- Video->Full Processing Mode
- Video->compression->HuffYUV
- Video->Frame Rate, check "3:2 pulldown removal - adaptive from fields"
- because it doesn't remove all interlacing (in areas with movement sometimes is more): Video->Filters->Add->Deinterlace - area based (it's not internal, so maybe you must download it here.)
- In the configure dialogue are 2 checkboxes, make sure both are unchecked. And there are 2 values, if treshold is 27 and the other 25 it's ok.
- save the clips.

thanks alot. the video looks way better now. it still jumps a little but rarely . maybe I missed it in the program but is there not a way to make the video smaller? its 12 gigs. lol like it didnt compress it at all..

cant edit post so im fixing what I said here. Apparently its not jumping at all now. guess the player I was using earlier was just being weird

12 gigs? Did you save an entire episode? Yes, HuffYUV is large because it's a lossless compression. That's why I said save clips. Only the scenes you want to use. These clips you use in your editing programm. Your final result you should export as HuffYUV too. So you have a high quality master which you can convert to whatever you want, MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX/XviD etc. These file are much smaller than HuffYUV, because it's lossy compression.

alright. thanks alot for your help.

PS. I watched your video and its pretty funny.
