Did you download your needed .dll's here:

Whew! Great! How does it look compared to the original?

avisynth.org.ru is where I got all my DePan stuff.

So I've been trying different techniques and settings to get the back and forth wobble out when R2 rocks back and forth (like around frames 26950-27000). Everying I do destroys the improvements in stabilization that I've made in the other parts of the film though. So I think I'm going to have to identify all the problem scenes and switch back to the unstabilized version for those clips. I've tried MVDePan, DePanEstimate, and playing around with all the variables in those as well as my script. Any other ideas?

Could you take a look at it?

I'll have to wait until I get home from work to look at the clip, but a couple ideas come to mind.
1. try resizing to NTSC resolution before the script (just so everything is the same) and then run my script.
2. I know that there are a few different revisions of the DePan and DePanEstimate tools out there. Make sure they are the most recent ones from: http://avisynth.org.ru/depan/depan.html
This sounds very much like what would happen if there was a bug in the dymax not being set to 0 in DePanEstimate.

Did you use the NTSC or the PAL DVD as source?
Was your script modified for your encodings or did you use the script as posted above?

I'm doing some testencodings at the moment but it looks different to your encoding.

I used the NTSC version. The script is exactly as above, except that I resized it to non-anamorphic at the end, added the original to the bottom of the screen, resized and showed the frame number. How does yours look different?

if you add this to the bottom of the script, you will have exactly what I used to encode.

tv=Lanczos4Resize(720,360) #see what it will really look like on TV
StackVertical(tv,orig)
addborders(120,3,120,3)
Lanczos4Resize(720,480)
ShowFrameNumber

trim(500,-350)+trim(4290,-200)+trim(10900,-300)+trim(26790,-130)+trim(70800,-200)+trim(133550,-60)

If your test encodings look too "tall", that's because the script is streched for anamorphic.

Not sure yet. I hope they will work with all of them with some minor tweaking.

Do you know what "align=true" does in the crop function? I read a frame can sometimes be placed unaligned in memory after cropping. But I don't known what it means if a frame is unaligned and exactly when it happens. Is it just to improve speed?

I stole that one from Moth3r. I think you're right though.

So I have encoded a one minute clip that I now need to upload to Rapidshare or something. I'll update soon. BTW, the script is going to need some more tweaking, there are a couple scenes where R2 is rocking back and forth that throw a wrench in the algorithm.

I know! I just didn't think screenshots would do justice to the wobble, so I really want to post some clips. I started to encode some last night, but the script runs too slow due to the fact that in my last script I'm doing a lot of stuff inside the doubled frame size of eedi(2). I have re-arranged the script so it works must faster now. I will update the posted script after work and start encoding.

By the image shake do you mean the left-right shake of the entire frame or the movement that sometimes occurs very locally within a frame? Also, do you plan to use it for certain scenes only or do you use it on the entire film? Did you notice any bad side effect?

This takes care of the left-right shake of the entire frame. Maybe some subsequent filtering will help with the local shake/distortion. The only bad effect is that it can't fix scenes with static backgrounds and large moving foregrounds (think close-up of Vader's head moving back and forth with the walls of the Blockade Runner in the corner). Most scenes however look much more stable now. It really is a drastic improvement! I plan to use it in the entire film but maybe shut it off for a select few scenes. Once I get a chance to view the entire film I will make a decision on that.

I’ve been working on trying to get rid of the image shake on the GOUT for quite a while, and I finally got something that works quite well. Here is my Avisynth script so far:

removed preliminary script. see below for updates.

I don’t do anything in the y direction because there isn’t that much shake in that direction, and because I don’t want to throw away any more lines due to the borders moving up and down. When I get around to adding borders and resizing for anamorphic, I would also like to add a small amount on the sides for TVs with overscan.

I also plan on adding this to the great work that Arnie.d and Moth3r have already done with anti-aliasing, anamorphic, and subtitles…

I plan on putting up some comparision clips soon, but those of you that can run this script, please let me know what you think!

So, I've been looking for ways to get rid of some jaggies that I was seeing on some frames of the droid purchase scene, and on a whim I tried Arnie.d's EEDI2().TurnRight().EEDI2().TurnLeft(). It turns out that there are some jaggies that are helped by this method of turning the image and doing it again! Here are some comparison shots of EEDI2() (Top image) and EEDI2().TurnRight().EEDI2().TurnLeft() (bottom image)

I've also been playing around with the black level in order to remove some of the garbage mattes. This line added early in the script seems to work well and is just enough to get rid of the worst of the mattes against a black background.

Levels(8, 1, 255, 0, 255) #check with this scene: trim(133550, -60)

also, some DeSpot stuff I've been working on that gets rid of some offensive junk:

DeSpot(sign=1) #sign=1 removes only black spots and keeps fast motion stars
DeSpot(mscene=0) #mscene=0 removes spots only in very static scenes

I'm going to bed now, I'll post more pics if anyone is interested.

I can't seem to find a copy of LoadPluginEx.dll. The link on http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/LoadOldPlugins doesn't seem to be working. Can anybody send it to me?

I'd really like to build off the work done here and do some matte removal, starfield recovery (like the X0 project describes) and image stabilization.

Adywan, I'm refering to the cockpit shot side on to luke before he fires at the tie. The stars and planet shouldn't move out of shot as the camera is fixed on Luke, not panning. Just an observation. OK

Ouch! Please feel free to PM people if your comments are not open for discussion.

The stars and planets would move out of shot if Luke was banking left.

the far off ships seem to recede too slowly, considering that they're going in the opposite direction.

It appears correct to me, seeing as the ships get smaller and smaller.

I think it looks right, since the camera is centered on the tie fighter at that point, the explosion would stay centered as well.

movement between the DS and Yavin? As the planet seems to move with the DS making it look a bit 2 dimensional.

This also looks correct, the DS moves much more quickly than Yavin.

I'm going to make another contribution. With the price of the dollar right now, it might not go very far!

Please please please, cut out these new shots. They are horrid!

agreed!

DE,

was watching ESB last weekend, and remembered some of my qualms with it (in addition to what you have already listed)

1. Fireball when the Probe droid crashes into the planet is either too small or moves too fast to look like the probe.
2. I can't stand how different the new Wampa looks from the old one. I would suggest removing the new Wampa all together.
3. The sound of Luke shutting off his lightsaber right after the Wampa scene, but the lightsaber stays on.
4. When the fallen AT-AT gets blown up, the chunks falling into the snow and the way the snow reacts makes it look lika a minature. Maybe slow the falling chunks part down?

just some suggestions.

DE,

is there any way to get just the bug fixes in DVD quality, so we can update our DVD copies?

Here is my wish list:

13. I've painted the reappearing red R2 unit green to fix the continuity error.
*I really wish R5 wasn't there at all.

14. There's a bad cut in the music (it completely drops out for a fraction of a second) when we see the Sandpeople mounting their Bantha - fixed.
*still noticable, but better

15. I've edited out the wall hanging/cloak thing behind Luke to fix a continuity error (but in a weird way - more on that later).
*That is weird. It seems to disappear when luke stands up, as if he knocked it down, but then it re-appears in a latter shot.

23. Han fires first!
*wish this was more like the OOT, but it works well just the way it is, and is a huge improvement.

30. Moff Tarkin's line "...then name the system!" has been graphic equalized to mask the poor audio quality.
*Could still be better. I only say this because before the DVDs came out someone posted this as a MP3 clip that I thought I would try to EQ. I think I got it perfect, but yours is still not quite as good as it could be.

42. The line "I had it all under control until you led us down here!" was of particularly bad quality, so I've replaced it with the same line from the SE LD.
*Now Chewie's bark during this line sounds funny

Also, put in newer fanfare during 20th century fox logo at beginning so it doesn't sound so crappy.

I still owe a couple of pay forwards. PM me, but make sure that your profile allows PMs, otherwise you will never get my response!
