I think what they call this problem is dot crawl. I've gotten rid of the problem before like a year ago in Avisynth or Vdub but I don't exactly remember how I did. There was a site I went to that had descriptions and examples of the problem and there own filters to use to get rid of them.. sites like this.

http://www.compression.ru/video/index_en.htm

I'd like to get rid of the problem in Avisynth.. so if you know any good settings/filters for fixing this let me know. Here's an example of the problem..

Notice the dot's in the image? If you know any good way of fixing this, please let me know.

Crop?

Here's a semi zoomed in example of the dot's I'm seeing. I'll try to get a better example later if it seems too confusing.

Well I have a dot crawl comb filter in Vdub and that seems to get rid of it.. and I've now tried Guava Comb in Avisynth and that seems to be working. It seems I'm fixing the prob and maybe I don't need as much help as I thought I did. Anyone can still help a bit and give me info. I'm actually very interested in sites that give examples of problems in the video like the site I listed did.. so if you have any, please list some. Thanks. ^_^

I've had the same dot crawl problem. I started a thread and got some good solutions. However, the filters that would fix the dot crawl would introduce other artifacts throughout the footage sometimes. Maybe your luck will be better.

Thanks. That helps a lot! That's exactly the same problem I'm experiencing. I'll see how DeDot works out. So far Guavacomb works pretty well but maybe I'll get better results with DeDot.

At first I didn't notice the dots, but I did notice something else...

The is a filter called DeDot() that might do what you need. It has to go before deinterlacing I believe.

Here is an example that I used it in.

Code: Select all

Mpeg2Source("F:\DVD2AVI Source\Kenshin OVA\Betrayal.d2v")
Dedot()
fft3dfilter()
TomsMoComp(1,5,1)
Crop(8,0,-8,0)
Bicubicresize(640,480)
sdderainbow()
HQDN3D()
fastlinedarken()
tweak(sat=1.1)

Nice clean up job. I'll try that out on my source when I get home. Also have Kenshin Betrayal on my comp.. maybe it could use Dedot to clean it up.
