I've been working on the script some more. I've decided to back off the image stabilization a bit to make sure that there is no added wobble. On static sceens the stabilization is about half way between the original and my previous script, but now there is absolutely no problem with close up objects wobbling back and forth. I just didn't want to search for every scene that was a problem and hope that I cought them all. Don't worry, the stability is still much better than the original.
I've also noticed some ringing in certain scenes that is helped by turning on the deringing filter on mpeg2source. I'll post a pic of that too.
I've decided to do the do the fft3dfilter after the lanczos4resize so that it doesn't take as long. I had to re-tune the parameters, but I don't see any difference and it seems to run quicker now.
I'll update the posted script tonight.
Moth3r - fft3dfilter is pretty good. It also has some sharpening ability that I use to negate the effects of the eeid2. And as far as the saturation goes, when I look at your comparison pics, I think the original is a bit undersaturated, and I think yours is bit oversaturated, so I chose a value half way inbetween. This is all very subjective though, so my script only reflects how I want the picture to look.
Oldschooljedi - I didn't start using Avisynth until Arnie.d and Moth3r did the anti-aliasing either. It's been fun learning a new tool, but I'm still learning, so I don't think my script will ever be "finished". It might be interesting to start a thread devoted to the "script" and people can post suggestions to make it better.
