Trust me though, there's no fixing the DVNR.

I'm still hoping for a followup to AntcuFaalb's Chroma/Luma separation technique. This is where he removed the Gout's Luma (with the DNR) and replaced it with warped Luma from a DNR-free laserdisc. I loved the results of that sample clip and thought the idea looked very promising. The result looks like a high quality laser disc with far less video noise. (Because all the video noise now only exists in the Luma and is B/W.)

Best of all, it's a DNR-free GOUT! I'd be interested to see if this is a practical idea to do for the whole movie.
