Good timing, Demonoid has been down for a few days.
The averaging looks pretty good.
Yeah, I see what you mean about Denoise. But, then again, the source may be a little plastic-y. All the stations's caps seem to have kind of an over-filtered, overenhanced look, and maybe a reduction in detail. Maybe from a lower-end broadcast-quality tape of some sort. Or the original tape was run through enhancer hardware that had the settings too high.
Averaging vs Denoise:
I can't tell, from a still, if the boat has more texture & detail, in the average-without-denoise, or if it's from the static.
Edit: The denoise seems to blur the wet(?) spots on the boat, though.
But I think the strands of hair look clearer, in the average-without-denoise.
Yeah, maybe it'd be better to leave off the denoise, whenever you can average.
I wonder if an average of more sources might yield even better results.
Absolutely.
3 copies is enough for "Toot", which should work wonders. But it probably won't be as efficient when mixing DV sources with MPEG2. And with all the noise, in each cap, there will probably be a loads of cases where the same pixel has noise in each of 3 caps.
I'd also love additional captures of the recent Sci-Fi airings to kill the noise.
I have about one-and-a-half HQ DVR caps of the SciFi. I don't know if Molly kept her RW's. I kept meaning to ask her for them. (In fact, I'd like to have copies of the Telemundo, and maybe the others, on the trillion-to-one chance that I'd someday try to zap the logos with compositing). Let us know if any of those other stations run Waterworld again!
shepp74 where arrre youuuu? (Sung to the tune of "Car 54 Where Are You?"... uh, never mind, ancient tv show).
In particular, I have a shot that's partially covered by a Sci-Fi ad on the bottom. The shot takes place when we come back from a commercial and Helen wakes up on the Atol right before the smokers attack.
I guess that's been taken care of on the re-airing, huh?
HELP! THIS PROJECT IS HOGGING 454 GIGS!
