As for the averaging of the captures, it would be even better to do a median filter on 3 captures.

Even better to use 3 captures from 3 different laserdiscs to remove laser rot, but that I suspect is out of reach. I would love to help with the Avisynth scripting if you would like.


This sounds like a really good idea. Isn't this what TOOT does? Do you have any example scripts of this please G-Force? I tried averaging VHS awhile ago, but just ended up with a slightly less noisy and slightly blurier image, so I was probably doing something wrong.

Well the specs for the chip itself mention both an adaptive 3D comb filter and an adaptive 4-line (2D) comb filter. I suppose it depends on the actual card how this is implemented. The PDI uses the older Philips chip (SAA7118) and a Conexant BT878A chip as well.


Thanks for the link Moth3r. Actually, I read that exact same sheet last night before I posted the question. Just wondering if there was much difference because I seem to remember everyone raving about the PDI a few years ago and I wasn't sure if Philips had advanced/improoved the IC or just screwed around with it.
