anime scripting challenge

hey, Here are some sample pictures of a anime techo video I just finished for a rave. Here is a raw unfiltered video sample Here is my attempt at makeing a script ConvertToYV12() VagueDenoiser(threshold=3,method=1,nsteps=6,chromaT=0.8) Tweak(bright=8, cont=.95, sat=1.5, hue=7, coring=false) Levels(0, 1.1, 255, 0, 255) ColorYUV(off_y=-20, gain_y=0) #ColorYUV(levels="PC->TV") Undot LimitedSharpen(Lmode=2) ConvertToYV12() awarpsharp It's going to play of a computer hardrive. So i'm thinking of useing loseless at low compression settings. As mpeg 2 on cce only goes up to 15000 in bitrate. Any suggestions in codec? -gavo

I'd encourage you to just to use VirtualDub with the MSU Deblocker 2.1 filter, loaded twice for starters. Also, use the MSU Denoiser set to Medium Fast Motion. Unless you want to learn AviSynth (which is a lot of work, but very rewarding) , you'll get acceptable results with VirtualDub.

thanx, what type of scirpt would it look like, if I handleing it in avs.

playing off a hard drive means no big limit on bitrate or playback complexity, so why not try x264 at quant 0. it's not completely lossless, though i don't know if that's a decoder or encoder issue (it only ever varies from souce by +- 1/256). it plays back quite fast.

How would I encode x264?

I tested your sample with various filters. I should have asked you what problems do you want to fix ? There are a lot of macro blocks, but maybe you want that effect. Deblocking will remove some of that, but it will also smooth the video a lot.

lossless coding doesnt have extra features, it is an extra feature ;) to make this short: for decoding a lossless avc stream you need a decoder which is able to handle avc lossless streams.

Ok, so the stream format is different. I'll leave it alone now. Sorry to have interrupted the thread.
