It's stuff like this that makes me wary of TooT'ing three captures from three different pressings of the same LD release; e.g., TooT'ing captures from three different JSC sets, like what althor1138 wants to do.
Without a bunch of safeguards in place, you have to perfectly spatially- and temporally-align each capture. This usually isn't difficult, but how would you know if one of the three sets has a quirk (like the different mastering above) without doing a frame-by-frame scan?
I wish we had a good method for dropout/rot detection. I'd really prefer to do one excellent capture and fix dropouts/rot manually in PFClean.
I am beginning to agree with you on this. I'm not sure exactly what method toot uses for averaging the 2 "best" captures either. Sometimes it seems to me like it gives the film a posterized look.
Wasn't there a scripted solution to replace the toot plugin? I'd rather use something like that because you can at least tweak a script to fit your needs sometimes. The toot plugin has no settings other than input clips.
