Okay, I've finally got some good degraining that I'm extremely happy with. Check out the new script!

Done.

This looks much, much better than with the previous scripts. I will do some more encodings when I have more time next week but at the moment I think sooner or later I have to encode the whole movies again, this is really worth it.

I'm still not completely happy with the left over grain, but I just haven't found a resonably fast and artifact free way to get rid of it yet. (BTW, my previous script used VagueDenoiser, and that has some issues, so I removed it)

-G

Maybe "Neat Video" for VirtualDub from

http://www.neatvideo.com

as denoiser could help. It is just a suggestion.

It is normally a plugin for VirtualDub but can be loaded in Avisynth as described here

http://www.neatvideo.com/files/NVVDUG.pdf

on page 36.

But I'm not sure, if the demo-version could do the job. The other versions are quite expensive...

These are good news g-force! I thought tweaking of your script would be done (as so often).

I did watch a few chapters of ROTJ encoded through your script. To me the image looks much surprior compared to ANH since the source has better quality.

Yes, I did encode all the movies, but I used an older script. I'm really happy with the result, even one can still see some garbage mattes in ROTJ. Haven't tried the actual script yet, I don't have the time at the moment.

Oh, by the way, the latest script should give slightly less grain as well, just as a side effect of better local stabilization. Might please OSJ!

Thanks!

I will try it!

Mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Star Wars\GOUT\VTS_03_1.d2v") # <-----Set path

Here you must specify where your d2v file is on your PC in the .avs-script.

PAL = false # <-----Set to false for NTSC, true for PAL

Change this line in your .avs-script like this:

PAL = true # <-----Set to false for NTSC, true for PAL

Close the editor and when windows asks you, if you're sure, select "yes".

Open CCE.

Your can drag/drop the .avs-script into CCE.

In the CCE settings your should specify your output as "16:9" (because sometimes CCE selects output 4:3 itself).

Make sure you've selected 25 frames per second as output and then specify the destinationfolder.

That's it.

@ g-force:

I see, I must make some more encodings. I just encoded the scene of the arrival in Mos Eisley, which is a very grainy scene.

@ dark_jedi:

It took about one week for one complete episode, but I used an older script, that was working much, much slower than the actual one and my PC is quite slow, because it is an older one. I did use HCEncoder for the encodings. Just give it a try, it is worth it!!!

Finished the encoding with your updated script.

The speed of the encoding is much faster, encoding itself became a real sprinter.

The "PAL =false" function in your latest script is very useful and comfortable.

Maybe I did use the wrong plugin because the last encoding looks more noisy to me than the previos encodings...

Thank you for the updated script!
I will test it as soon as I can; this will be a busy weekend for me so it will probably be next week. When I run the script, do I have only to set "PAL = true" at the beginning or in every line that has a "PAL = false" in your script?

Ugh. I know, I've changed the crop values a few times in order to remove some artifacts, and I have not re-calculated what the PAL values should be, nor am I even sure they were ever right. I just couldn't figure out what was going on since your processed clips were my only PAL references, so I axed the whole PAL resizing stuff. If you would like, I could re-evaluate the appropriate crop values if you could encode and post a short, bright, unprocessed clip (no resizing, no cropping etc.) that shows the borders well. Might be worthwhile to post ESB and ROTJ raw clips as well, since you are anxious to do those too. I'm a ways off from doing the subtitles for ROTJ though.

I think you'll be happy with the quality and the speed of the script since your last encode. Sorry you have to do it again, but it'll be worth it! Post that clip and we'll get it right this time!

-G

This would be a cool thing. I posted some short PAL-clips here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/111522530/SW.zip.html

I have had no idea to do the subtitles of ROTJ too, so I decided to use the commercial DVD Rebuilder (be sure I don't get paid by them) with your script so I can make the encodings with selectable and not hard encoded subtitles.

Earlier in this treat there were some thoughts about tweaking the script for several scenes individually. DVD Rebuilder does a single .avs for every single chapter of the DVD so it would maybe be possible to tweak the script seperately for every chapter. But this is only a thought. Anyway, there is also a free version of DVD Rebuilder avaiable for download, but with limitations in functionality.

Another way to make the DVD would be to rip it on HDD, demux all streams (audio and subtitles) with PGCdemux and after encoding of the m2v-file remuxing the original subtitle streams with the original audio or the monomix or whatever by muxman. This can be done without any commercial tools and the subtitles stay selectable.

Thanks OSJ! Just out of curiosity, which version of the script did you use? You really might want to consider re-doing them, as the most recent version (1.05) of the script is superior to anything before it. Dare I say I'm done? I think I'm officially done!

-G

I did use version 0.31 because I wasn't able to download your updated scripts for a while.

I will do some encodings with your latest script for sure.

Your actual script v.1.05 has no parameters (for cropping and so on) for the PAL DVD so i wanted to ask if I can use your parameters posted in earlier scripts or can you not recommend it?

Hi!

Yppie, I have internetaccess again!

I have finished encodings on ANH and used your script for ESB too. Great work g-force!

Now the GOUT look the first time watchable to me.

Here is a new encoding, I used "Crop(8,4,-4,-2,align=true).AddBorders(6,68,6,66)":

http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=A0J72XT1

This here is with "NNEDI(dh=true,field=1).TurnRight().NNEDI(dh=true,field=1).TurnLeft()":

http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=Q01WWSE7

There are no artifacts visible at the line of the top black bar.

Any ideas how to encode with "NEEDI/EEDI2" without artifacts at the line of the top black bar?

As Arnie.d posted, the PAL source looks to me as the cropping is different compared to the NTSC source, too.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but I updated the script because I noticed some PAL resizing errors that I think I have sorted out now. Anyone in PAL land care to check them and report back?

-G

I'm doing encodings with this script. Source is PAL, here is the result of the encoding:
http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=69Y24DX2

I'm really happy with the result of this, have not encoded more of the GOUT yet.

I would post some more encodings later, but I'm moving to another town in a few days and I won't have internetaccess for a while.

It seems, that there was something wrong with the EEDI2-plugin.
When I did encodings with "NNEDI(dh=true,field=1).TurnRight().EEDI2().TurnLeft()" the lasers of the imperial starship over Tattooine sometimes turned from green to white and looked a littlebit like bubbles.

Now I tried your script from the 20.03. with "NNEDI(dh=true,field=1).TurnRight().NNEDI(dh=true,field=1).TurnLeft()" and everything works fine.

New test encode.

stabilize.m2v

Please take a look and tell me what's wrong with my Tie lasers? This problem doesn't show up in the Avisynth output, it is something that is happening during the encode. Any ideas?

-G

I have the same error at my encodings.

G-force, can you remember what the error was?

I have this error when I use HC encoder, not with other encoders. But HC encoder runs faster with this script than other (commercial) encoders, so I prefer this encoder.

By the way: What version of avisynth do you have installed and what encoder are you using?

I also downloaded a different mt_masktools.dll (dated 27th Jan '06) from http://manao4.free.fr/

Oops, I forgot that that .dll is a bit tricky as well. I think I'm using Masktools v.2. Not sure of the date, but most likely at lease 2.0 alpha 27 which is the most recent listed on this page: http://manao4.free.fr/mt_masktools.html
but I noticed he also has some higher versions on the page that seventiesfilmnut listed.

...

-G

That was it!

I am using the different masktool.dll and now everything works!

I'm doing another encoding at the moment and can't wait to see the result.

Thank you, guys!!!

Can anyone see any obvious errors? Have been trawling the net for any helpful information but no luck so far.

Which version of masktools should I be using? Perhaps the answer lies here?

Thanks,

This is exactly the error I'm getting too! My encoder simply shuts down when I start encoding and when I load the script in my mediaplayer I get the same error-message with this little difference:

CAVIStreamSynth: unknown system exception - 0xc000001e at 0x0.
