Hi, Introduction and filter requests

Regarding xsharpen, I have had the same problems with it at high levels. It gives jagged lines and in turn bad output ~_~. @sh0dan i pm'ed you a couple of weeks ago with a picture showing the results. And I also pm'ed neuron2 about the matter, since he is the original author of the vdub filter. Unfortunatly he's out of town atm, and cannot help too much. For other's, here is a screen shot of the results xsharpen gives (supersample'd video (1920x1440), and settings of (255,255)).

Hi, I've done a lot more testings with your suggestions, and temporalsoften is causing some really odd effects with the video, making it jump around like crazy and white flashes. I wonder if this is a bug, or if it has something to do with my filter chain? Would running two temporal filters back-to-back be a bad idea? For example: TemporalCleaner(7,11) TemporalSoften(4,3,3,mode=2,scenechange=5) That results in the encode I was speaking of. Is this possibly some glitch in the code? Also, back to my original post, I've been doing intensive testing for prettying these television anime captures, and nothing comes close to the effectiveness of doing really high-level pixel locking with temporal cleaner. :/ I can provide example clips if you'd like to see. Also, I was unable to try out that pixellock filter you wrote because I am really restricted to avs 2.5 at this point. I'm already encoding at under 2fps, and in the world of anime raw encoding, you're constantly working against the clock. ^^; edit: interesting to note that the weird behavior of temporalsoften only occurs when mode=2 is selected and not mode=1. I am using a Pentium IV-Mobile 1.8Mhz processor, and as far as I can tell it should be ISSE capable.

Haha xvid quantizer 1, eh? :D I like your point about not IVTCing, though, it's true. Also, the new trend you see coming on a lot of japanese raws is to use 120fps (with a lot of delta frames.) I'm still not sure why they do that... :\ But yeah, I'm still new to this whole capturing thing, so working out kinks but I'm getting to a pretty good level of quality right now :) Maybe I should open up my encoding struggles to the public, it'd be for the benefit of the community, really... If anyone wants to try and see what filter chains you can come up with to pretty my raw captures, be my guest. I'll gladly upload chunks of my DV capture (unadulterated) to an ftp or something if you wanna try. It's quite a challenge, really. Think of it as a learning exercise :D

OK, check your personal message thingy ;)
