-1,

Honestly, there is not much of this script that I could imagine using on a 35mm transfer of the film. Here is why:

1. Color. You are going to have an RGB signal to work with, which is much easier than Luma and Chroma to adjust.

2. Global motion stabilization: You are going to have the frame edges to work from for this, something that is lost on the DVD, and there will be much more accurate ways of stabilizing WITH the frame edges as a reference.

3. Local motion stabilization: this is an effect of film warp, and how the MPEG encoder handles this. You may very well have some film warp, but you won't have the MPEG effects on the film warp to worry about, so a more gentle local motion stabilization should be used if any is needed at all.

4. Jaggies - you won't have any (hopefully)

5. Sharpening - You shouldn't need this if the capture is decent

6. Subtitles - No need

7. Degrain - Okay, there's the exception to all of this. You are going to want to degrain. Admittedly, there are a lot better algorithms than what I'm using, but my script trys to do too much stuff so I've really had to compromize here. I've tried to get the most bang for the buck on this, but if you want the best degrainer, use TemporalDegrain(). Study that, as my script borrows heavily from it. It's really the best, and since you won't need to do much else, it should run at an acceptable speed.

your right g-force,

i know that............................however, in studying your script,

i've learned a lot of invaluable lessons....................................something i couldn't force myself to do on my own..........

its a great reference tool..

(also, i've got a TON of laserdisc transfers i want to

start messing around with also)..

later
