What to do when you have anamorphic widescreen footage

[AaronAMV]

Since I don't want to start another thread in the avisynth section, is there a way to get rid of these edges? They're only on some scenes, but when they are, they're pretty noticable.

Script:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Windows\System32\awarpsharp.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Windows\System32\tdeint.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Aaron\²\rer\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\Users\Aaron\Downloads\Tekkonkinkreet\VIDEO_TS\Tekkonkinkreet.d2v")
TDeint(mode=1,order=1)
AWarpSharp(depth=21.0, blurlevel=2)
Crop(0,60,-0,-54)

It's mainly around White's (the boy) arm. There's also some blockiness, and the lines are already pretty thin with aWarpSharp that high.

I can't assume anything about Blu-ray because I've never worked with it at all, nor have I gotten really conclusive answers about what frame sizes and AR flagging possibilities it allows for. Wild guess, though, would be that it's probably 1920x1080, but has black borders so that the 2.39:1 or 2.40:1 ratio is preserved, in which case the real area is around 1920x800 or 1920x816 or something. I've seen enough trailers over at the Quicktime site that use those resolutions to know that those are the common dimensions for those ratios.

As for that picture, I believe that's mosquito noise. A smoothing function should help. I still use deen, myself:

Code: Select all

deen("w3d",2,8,8,8,8)

That enables both spatial and temporal smoothing. It's also fairly light, so it might be able to filter out that noise while leaving the rest of the image okay.

But there's no 64-bit version of deen... >_>

I personally love the fft3dgpu() to remove pretty much any kind of noise... hell, it was even able to partially get rid of some dot crawl with an old source I have.
I can't be sure if it works on 64bit os, but if it does, you might want to give it a try. Default settings should be fine already, but just in case in that doom9 thread there is an explanation of all the parameters, besides the download of the plugin.

nope ;_;
