Filter Suggestion/Speedup

[steptoe]

Just another quick one, I'm grateful that you started to add support for multiple audio tracks so quickly

If possible, under the tweaks options, could you add support for different resizers rather that just LanczosResize, for example Spline36 or even Spline64 as the Spline resizers are listed as being better with low bitrate conversions when upsizing the resolution

The new AviSynth script lister is much clearer than before, a small update but very good for those that like to fiddle with scripts

UnDot is quite old now, and also apparently had a bug in it, the RemoveGrain filter has the exact equivalent of UnDot but is much faster, all that needs is the RemoveGrain filter adding to the install instead of UnDot and UnDot replacing with RemoveGrain(mode=1) in the scripts to give the exact same effect as UnDot()

Also RemoveGrain(mode=2) or RemoveGrain(mode=3) offers more dot removal as UnDot() without going to extremes, so giving that little bit more noise removal without getting into the realms of serious noise filtering


Thanks for a great software, that actually works in conversions unlike some I tried

Was my first attempt to include that feature and only for AVI, let me know if you encounter any problem with it, manly with audio out of sync or something like that...because the audio process that deals with multi tracks is brand new

That could be done, no problem

LanczosResize can give artifacts at low bitrates lower than 2000kbps, but I think you never get that so lower values. When I made that investigation all people said that LanczosResize gives more sharpen and detailed results

OK, that will be done, in fact I need a soft degrain without being extreme

I inserted a very strong grain removal : RemoveDirt, that uses RemoveGrain, but I think it gives a extreme result...should be used only with very noisy videos, I even don't know if I will keep it in AVI2ISO 2.10 final version

All filters are in Plugins folder

many thanks for you advice and help, I will make that changes

let me know please if you get any bug in this new version, and I mean any strange behavior, I'm very concerned with stability and usability

Version 2.10 is not yet finished

I had found a bug in that process

http://www.avi2iso.com/forum/index.php?topic=561.msg3366#msg3366

that situation can be tested with this sample

it uses VirtualDub Mod, and it shouldn't for MKVs, but that sample is converted anyway and the result is good

I used to use RemoveGrain(mode=17) as a general denoiser without being to over the top and is pretty fast compared to some filters and functions that are now used to denoise and descratch using motion compensation

The results and control the user has over the latest functions are very good but also incredibly slow, on a very fast CPU you are looking at around 5-15 FPS

Have a look at MCTemporalDenoise to see how complex it can be and also how many filters it 'can' call depedning on the options used, plus the fact that it scan scan upto 4 frames in advance to get as much information about what is noise/dirt and what isn't. Hence the very very slow speed
