This sounds good... I hope you're not going to convert this "taster"-set to NTSC *g*

But I think this is a great way to split up work: You provide the video (with the english soundtrack) and we create the different audio-tracks to fit this "guide"-video. Then we can send you the different audio tracks we have assembled, and you simply add them to your project (no retiming or recutting necessary) to create your final, dual-layer, multi-language set.

I really like this idea.

@Mother:

Are you going to make this set dual-layer? I am asking, because, if it's possible, would you mind adding German audio tracks (and IF you're going for multi-angle regarding the opening crawls, those as well)? I could send you some (not great) rips of the German THX-LDs... audio would be in 2.0 Dolby Digital at 256 (ANH), 384 (TESB) and 320 ( ROTJ) Kbps... but better than VHS I guess, and even better than nothing.

Zion, you can delete the clip you've uploaded, I got it. By the way, was that clip really a raw capture? It looked liked it's already been tinkered with...

For removing ghosts from those clips Exorcist is the way to go, I guess. Still, it causes edges to become very soft, but well, that's the source... I might be wrong, but I feel that the clips you've posted earlier (including my first SangNom-tests) looked slightly better than your newest version...

So, you still need to de-ghost the whole thing? I was very impressed by Tellan's ghost-free captures on the Lancer-project. By the way, are you now capturing at a brighter setting? In this case I guess the VirtualDub "Exorcist" (or its AviSynth-pendant "Ghostbuster") is the better choice over my ghost-script.

(By the way, I would love to get a sample clip of your new raw capture again... I'd like to play around with it)

Uhm... no. It's also progressive if you're going with all 576 lines... when deinterlacing it you're throwing away half of your resolution, why would you want to do that? Maybe I am misunderstanding you here... could you post some screens of your your unprocessed capture?

ACTUALLY the inofficial meaning of the abbrevation is "Never The Same Color" if there is something inofficial that could be wrong... of course, the real meaning is "National Television Standards Committee".

OK, now I am going to stop being a wise-ass, because most probably the flaming might start sooner as I can say "Never The Same Color".

You can combine my script with more AviSynth-stuff... of course. But it's best to apply other stuff AFTER antialiasing it. So instead of putting return v3 at the end, it would be something like return v3.Levels(xxx).Tweak(xxx).Crop(xxx).LanczosResize(xxx) and so on.

Regarding LimitedSharpen, look into Zion's thread. I've posted everything you need in there.

Well, SangNom is originally intended to be used as a deinterlacing filter. This means that "order=0" should be used on "top field first" material, "order=1" on "bottom field first" material, and "order=2" on material where the two fields have been blended together.

Material that got IVTCed is neither of those, it's progressive. And to get the best result for progressive material, I felt that it looked best to use two instances of SangNom... one using "order=0" and one using "order =1".

I am using the v1, v2, v3, and so on to keep the script a little more cleaned up. So, your script would have to look like this:

v1 = AviSource("p:\anh\interim\anh_interim.avi").SangNom(order=0)
v2 = AviSource("p:\anh\interim\anh_interim.avi").SangNom(order=1)

v3 = v1.overlay(v2, opacity = 0.5)

return v3


You could add the "aa=" attribute to the SangNom-filters and play with the setting. For the results I posted in Zion's thread I didn't put it in (which left it at its default value... whatever it is). By the way, SangNom adds a little blur to the image, so it's good to add some sharpening (I prefer the LimitedSharpen-function) afterwards.

My script above looks so big, because it's not just antialiasing the clip, but IVTCing, de-ghosting, sharpening, color-correcting AND rescaling it as well.
