AviSource("c:\capture\filename.avi")
LimitedSharpen()
Save this text file with the extension AVS, i.e. filename.avsLimitedSharpen()
If Avisynth is installed, you should be able to open this AVS file in VirtualDub, TMPGEnc, etc.
Obviously this is just a very simple example to get you started.

You also need something called masktools for LimitedSharpen() to function, so download that and load it in your script like any other external plugin. THEN you can call the LimitedSharpen() function.
Yes, you're correct. I assumed he'd already saved the function as an avsi file, but I forgot that you needed masktools. Download it from here and place the dll in C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins. Mother, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe it's quite that simple to set up.

what do i write in my script(and where do i put it once written?) just to sharpen my avi files from my star wars trilogy laserdiscs,like i said in another post they look ok and sound great but if i can sharpen them a bit i will be 100% happy.
this stuff is tricky,i can convert my ld's to dvd and author dvd's (somewhat)but cannot figure out this darn filter.
i assume that this will sharpen the image while i am triming it with virtualdub then saving the new avi file?(or am i all wrong?)
soon as i get this figured out i will share this stuff with you guys here the ld's i have are:
the very first star wars trilogy(fullscreen)first ones to come out i bought right away,dont look to good compared to the later ones
Faces star wars trilogy THX widescreen
star wars trilogy definitive collection
and the first release special collection star wars trilogy
well these are the sets i have,someone here recommended just downloading them but i really dont like bit torrent,it is really slow and it ALWAYS seems to hang at 50-75%
also i signed up at myspleen and on the first day i got a couple of torrent files now for some reason i cant login there anymore.(so thats my luck with torrents)
thanks for all the assistance guys

don't get me wrong, it's good, but to make it time effective you need a bit of oomph behind it to make it work well. it does a lot of resizing and supersampling you see.
I generally got good results with this
LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.5,ss_y=1.5,Smode=3,overshoot=3,special=true,strength=125)
more strength than that produced some nasty artifacting.
go to this threaddoom 9 forum limitedsharpen thread
and it spells out what you need as regards dll's

AviSource("c:\capture\Hunter\Hunter 1.avi")
LimitedSharpen()
hunter is my 4 year old son i converted from tape to put on dvd
also what is this blindehalo3? i cant find this anywhere i was going to check into this and see if it is easier for me.
maybe if someone would be so kind as to make a script for me just to sharpen my videos and maybe use a denoiser,and tell me where to put it,
i just signed up at doom9 to ask the author himself questions but i cannot post for 5 days(bummer)
thanks again

What do you mean by "cannot get it to work at all"? Do you get an error message?thanks guys for all the help,i have spent hours downloading everything you guys mentioned.here is my script please tell me what i am doing wrong cannot get it to work at all

Did you install AviSynth 2.5? (The directory naming above implies you installed 2.0)
You don't need the first line; giving a script an avsi extension means that it is automatically imported.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MaskTools\MaskTools.dll")----------then i took this one out
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\warpsharp.dll")-----------------------and this one out(still no luck,now it says there is no function called limitedsharpen)

well i just tried it and now i get this error:
AviSynth Open Failure:
MergeLuma:YUV data only(No RGB);Use ConvertToYUY2 or ConvertToYV12
so what do i do now? darn, i didnt think it would be this tricky just to clean up my video on my ld's
I put everything on hold untill i can sharpen the video.I will share this stuff if any one wants or maybe the bonus stuff on the ld's
i also have alot of the 80's cartoon sets and some of the newer stuff like Teen Titans ALL episodes.

ConvertToYUY2()---------------------------------------------------added this,because of the above error is this right?
LimitedSharpen()
# LimitedSharpen()

function LimitedSharpen
etc..............
now it plays in virtualdub but sound is choppy and it like skips but does look better,this is also an old vhs tape video camera that already had a bunch of crap already recorded on it,just trying to clean this up the best i can because this is the ONLY video footage of my 4 year old as a baby.
I assume the video and sound will be alot better on my LD project as opposed to this?
can you look this over see if this is right and what else should i add for the star wars laserdiscs to look as good as i can get them?
thanks for all your time and help

It will be choppy on playback, because you've put a slow filter into the video chain. This filter is for encoding, not real-time playback.
A sharpening filter will sharpen the noise as well as the real detail. Therefore you should generally put a denoiser in front of the sharpener. There are many available for avisynth, I use a plugin called dust (PixieDust) but it is very, very slow (takes me 14 hours to do one encode pass on an Athlon XP 2700).
(BTW I notice you are using VirtualDub to trim the video - it may be more convenient to put a Trim command into your Avisynth script.)

sorry for rambling but just trying to do everything you mention.
thanks again

hi again do i add this line before the sharpen line as is?
PixieDust([limit=5],[output="RGB/RGB32/RGB24/YUY2"])

Isn't scenalyzer more suited to DV capture? What capture device are you actually using? If it's something like a ADVC-100, then you won't be able to capture with huffyuv.
:: Edit - OK I just looked back at your previous posts, and you indeed using a DV capture device.
Keep in mind that what works for me isn't necessarily best for your situation.
If you get dust installed correctly, just insert a simple
PixieDust()
command before LimitedSharpen(). Guidelines for post content and general behaviour: read announcement here
