2006 SE/GOUT hybrid script project - UPDATE: 05-24-11 see 1st & 2nd post...

UPDATE 05-24-2011

I’ve decided to post this script for SW when it is not finished so that people can take a look at it as I work on it. This script uses several different methods to make the SE look like the GOUT in color and retain the clarity of the SE.

The script does require a 24mb download of a deshaker.log file which can be found here.  If you look through the script you’ll find a variable called COL. This is where the path to the deshaker log should be entered.

Here’s a short clip of some random scenes from the script.

Here’s a longer clip that is about 5 1/2 minutes long.

There’s no sound and  Youtube compression has made it a bit blocky. There are a few frames from the original gout but I think they blend in pretty well.
 

UPDATE 05-24-2011

I’ve uploaded another clip onto yt.  I’m almost finished with SW.  I’m fixing maybe one or two more wipes so as to be able to include more SE footage and maybe a couple things here and there and then it’s finished for now.  I’ll probably go back and fix any bad chroma alignment if people point it out. I’m tired of working on SW and would like to move on to ESB for the time being.

No, I don't have any screenshots. I don't have anywhere to host them.  Are there any free places to do so?

The raw footage of the gout is pretty messed up but I think after some processing it won't stand out too much from the se footage.

**EDIT**

Yeah I like it that bright.  The HDR filter is mostly responsible for the brightness, and the colors will never be perfect I think.

That first blockade runner Hybrid looks pretty damn good, impressive!

Yeah, if the footage wasn't distractingly different I left it in.  The less gout footage the better but with the least amount of "Special" as possible was the idea lol. I dunno maybe if I run g-force's script through the gout and it blends pretty good with the se in this script I could just edit out the "special" crap altogether.

Dark JEDI,

Instead of this

hdragc(max_sat=1.0,coef_gain=0.3,min_gain=0.5,max_gain=1.5,protect=1,reducer=1)

You could try something like this and then tweak it up or down til you find what you want.

hdragc(max_sat=1.0,coef_gain=0.1,min_gain=0.1,max_gain=0.3,protect=1,reducer=1)

**EDIT**

These settings are really not so great for the HDR filter.  I didn't know much about HDRAGC when i posted this.  The settings for HDRAGC in the updated script are much better.

Yeah I suppose I will do something like this with esb and rotj but it might be a few weeks before i start.  I'd like to run anh through g-force's script and see what happens when I merge the footage(that will take a week on my pc,lol). 

I assume it's NTSC, since the final output resolution is 720 x 480.

Moth3r is right.  This is the NTSC version.  I've heard on this forum that the PAL GOUT is not so great for ANH and ESB. With that being said, is the PAL SE transferred correctly, or is it a conversion from NTSC like the GOUT? Just wondering because I have both but to be honest I've never even loaded the PAL discs to look at them.

I think the less resizing you do the better off you will be. I think it would be better if you didn't resize the pal sources to match the script.  Just change the cropping and resizes in the script to match the sources you are using. I have no experience with Pal actually.  I live in PAL land but I'm american and most of my dvd's are region 1.  Are PAL dvd's not natively yv12? I tried to make sure there wouldn't have to be any color format changes.

1) I will have to find my pal discs and do a comparison using your script modification to see if there is a difference in the sources.

2) The gout colors are bad (so is the SE) and I'm currently encoding with g-force's script so that I can use it instead of the raw gout(virtualdub is telling me 6 days as of right now before it's finished). I'd suggest this since the raw footage is a bit of an eyesore when pit against the clarity of the SE.

3) I will probably substitute gout footage for all of the se changes after I have g-force's version to work with.

4)See #2 lol.

5) I've just double checked the move along sequence and didn't see any repeating sequence.  Could be a difference in the sources or the script is wrong and my eyes are fooling me.

althor1138, I'd like to help adapt your script to PAL properly, could you please post some screengrabs with the frame numbers so I can identify how the numbering of the frames lines up with the PAL version? For instance frame 1200 might be frame 1202 in the PAL version and consistently +2 frames, It'd be really helpful to do that. The other thing is, the g-force script that I have is probably out of date, but I don't know where in the thread the new one for the PAL discs are, can you/someone please point me to it? I do have the raw 50+ GB files from when I did it a year or so ago, but I'm thinking I'll redo them all from scratch in a way that is better suited to combining with non-se special-edition scenes.

Also, please post all the Loadplugin lines, I remember with great difficulty setting up the g-force script for the first time for the very reason that the required plugins are not directly intuitive (for instance, some of them you need specific versions)!

Thanks for this project, btw, it should be really good... especially since it'll allow people to make their own video from their own 2006 DVD's easily.
