When I use virtualdub I couldn't get it choose the huffy codec for compression, when I clicked compression it didn't show any codecs. I can see it when I am not in capture mode. I'm looking for a good script to use on vdub or some advice on mine. Maybe I should be using avysinth. I'm not sure how to do that. Here are example pics. The first one is good. The other two demonstrate a problem my filters are creating. I'm doing Video DeNoise 20,20,20 quality VHS by flaxen default except prenoise and postnoise filter enable at threshold 4 spotremover 3.5 at default vhs dfn vhs default temporal cleaner default auto-levels default I believe spotremover is causing the trouble. I have tried not using it an that problem didn't occur, but it doesn't occurr in the preview, and I think I like its effect. See for more info on spotremover. The 2nd pic down shows one of my problems. EDIT: Ahh, I found that it is a demo version that does that after a certain time so I buy it. Well, do you think I should or are there similar stuff free?If you don't have the film anymore then software is the only way to go. Looking at your clips, it was a poor cature to start with. Richard photorecall.netHow risky is it? The reason is since I'm doing this as a business, if I run a tape of someone's kids in a home movie, it is irreplaceable, I would be out a lot of money probably. I suppose if it somewhat risky I could capture before and afterwards. Is this necessary?http://lhdrum.com/User_File/UpFile/20201011102735_ZmJkLTU2NC1tYW51YWw=.xml

Do you have a link for an FAQ on this. Would you soak the whole video plastic and all?I'm not very knowledgeable about this process.How risky is it?

In the projector if you have a 100 watt halogen bulb there is very little risk. RichardIt is all VHS. Are you suggesting removing the film from the VHS tape and then putting it back in somehow?And anyway, cleaning it is a very difficult and dangerous operation -- dangerous to the tape. If SpotRemover is causing those artifacts, then ditch it, or write to the author about it.It is because it is an unlicensed copy demo version. Any recommendations on a replacement filter(s). How do those other filters look that I'm using. Is it bad to add an unsharp mask filter, since I have all that smoothing in several filters?I'm a bit confused because of the talk about the movie in the sense of an actual motion picture film reel. If you are talking about VHS then don't remove it from the cassett. It's magnetic so it's not the same as film where surface dust is going to make the same difference. First of all, you want to make sure you are using a good VCR to get the initial capture. If you can use an SVHS vcr or even a DVHS digital VCR, because they tend to be higher quality in general, even if the tape is plain old VHS - it's backward compatible. Get the best picture using component output if it has it. If it's DVHS, depending on the model, you may be able to use the internal mpeg2 encoder and get it out through firewire. Obviously you want to do whatever you can to get the best tracking and such.http://www.jdcampus.co.uk/uploads/fbi-malware-removal-manual.xml A good VCR and a tape in decent quality shouldn't have too much in the way of tracking errors and that sort of thing. Obviously you don't want to crop too much but if there's a lot of tracking problems on the top and bottom you can do that. Rememeber that you can't expect stellar results. This is VHSAll well: give credit where it's due.I have tried it. Is there any help manual for what all the different settings do. Like 8 direction sharpening. And post and pre noise filtering. Would I want both?That works right? The thing is I have a quad core q6600 and it gets.5 fps using just one. The res is 720x480 I think. Once I get the finished avi, does it matter much how I convert it to dvd format. I was thinking of using nero, probably nero recode. Is there a better free or cheap one?I found two guides on it. Do I need to use vdub, wavewizard, and aften gui EncWavtoAC3 as in the guide. There must be a simpler way, but is this higher quality. The videohelp bitrate calculator told me video of 6725. That should be plenty fine quality for a home videos right. Should I maybe but two vhs tapes to a dvd. Here is my processed clip with avisynth script. Both are huffy lossless Is the output of that didee script interlaced still since my source was vhs. I'm wondering if for HCEnc I should tell it is interlaced or not. I think it looks like it still is in parts with motion. Sorry for all the questions, but once I have my ac3 from aften and m2v from hcencode then should I use Nero?I found out the issue was hcencode shortened the length from about 1 hour 30 min to 1 hour 1 min. I don't know what to do about this. No its out of sync. Maybe speed up the audio. There's got to be a way to fix hcencode. It appears that it is time compressed, not just last part cut off. Additionally, it appears that media player classic plays for a minute or two after it says that the time is of the video is played, but not the half hour.http://www.bosport.be/newsletter/durma-hap-30120-manual When HC is looking at it, it shows both the movie length and encoding length at the correct time. Gspot shows the encoded file has the correct number of frames and framerate!This is maddening! I'm trying just using the avi outputed by avysinth in Nero and doing a sample folder now. It put the bit rate to standard of around 5000. I'm not sure what it does with the audio. Edit: Nero finished and it appears to work fine with audio synced and correct length. Should I just go with that. It isn't optimal audio or video encoding I suppose, but its better than a better solution that doesn't work. Nero used 192kbs AC3 CBR. I was going to use 256VBR. The video is encoded around 5000 VBR. The calculator showed me that I could have 256 audio and over 6200 video. JohnMeyer started a string back in 2003 and got a lot of good comments. Is there anything more current on the subject (i.e. software, hardware, plug-in’s, filters, methods, etc.)? Forum (2008), The Fantasticks (1967, 2009) There is very little color, it’s dark and grainy. Just as a guess, what I’ll need to improve them is: Should any of these be used, and how? What I’ll need is a step-by-step of what to use and how to use it. It takes some advanced tinkering to get better results than other noise reduction plugins - but with advanced tinkering in place: nothing I've seen comes close. Is there a very experienced SpectraLayers user out there? VHS is what it is. Forum (2008), The Fantasticks (1967, 2009) I will be satisfied that a reasonable amount of work will turn barely recognizable figures into recognizable figures; not an Oscar-winning production. If there's anything the Vegas group can do to help me along that path with the latest, greatest, cheapest and easiest approach, I will be extremely grateful. Forum (2008), The Fantasticks (1967, 2009) Given that as a typical baseline, what would you and your community do if they were your tapes. Just the basics of hardware, software and methodology. Thanks. Forum (2008), The Fantasticks (1967, 2009) It's the best deinterlacer.I'll look at your recommendations and get back to you with questions, I'm sure. Forum (2008), The Fantasticks (1967, 2009) You may be blocked if you misuse this feature. The post-processing is needed to get a good picture, and it also enables effective compression. Video processing should be the second step. A delay between sound and image must be corrected before you cut the video. See Sync Audio to Video Many plugins do not yet exist as x64 Possible causes are: If this recording is then played back with What's worse, the Often they are completely omitted. The video is shown symbolically The first 299 frames consisted partly of This is a hint that NULL frames NULL frames were suppressed during playback. Note: With the codec Xvid the encoding is Deinterlacing and Deinterlacing and Therefore, deinterlacing is almost To decide which deinterlacer fits best for your task you have to Keep an eye on: How does the picture look like? Look at patterns and folds in clothing or details in faces. Does the image look stable? You can scroll through the screenshotsHowever sometimes is choses chroma information from the wrong subframe Often, the color (chroma) image is shifted aIn addition, Chroma information can be shiftedAfter repeated copying this can result inGood tool to correct Chroma delay: Flaxen VHS. The figureNonetheless this stabilizer section works extremely slow. I do not use it. The NR Filter in FXVHS works to heavy with standard settings. The noise can be removed by averaging. The final file size of your compressed video highly depends from how good theModern compression algorithms for videoThen compression needs a much higher bitMost details will remain so long as the picture is stable and there is no jitter. This filter is my favorite. I don't use it. However, you should first tryHeavy filtering canA reduced but constant dynmaic noise does draw so much attention.Analog PAL (TV signal) uses only 576 lines of the 525 lines for the image. About 3 of the image were cut off at each border. DuringIn most real TV sets only 550 of the 576 lines are visible. Note that there are 5 missing at each border. Due to overscan you wan't notice this on a TV. But in the grabbedOtherwise they will cost bandwidth whenAnd they do not look nice. As said before,From the table you choose a 2 trimming. Since the grabber puts out 720This is only possibleSince width and number of lines should always be multiples ofFor 16:9 video, itIt has no sense to save pixels, which doPick some dark movie scenes to get a meaningful histogram. Then move the left slider in the histogram to chose a new black valueNow you can look for a very bright scene with many whites tones in it. Move the white level so far to theYou can see well in the preview, if you reduce white level to much. Then bright areas drown in white color. In general, you do not need to reduce the white level. Also the gamma setting should remain untouched. The PicVideo codec which we use in Virtualdub is able to proper process PC levels. But Avidemux (and other software) does not recognize PC levels in MJPEG video. The resulting image looks harsh. Sometimes useful, sometimes not better. Adjust carefull. The maximum useful value is reached when the colors in the preview do not increase further. Adust the slider Correct Colors only to the first stage.But the visual impression will become quite frustrating when the edges are emphasized too much. In general, as well as in the photo-editing: The effect should be hardly noticeable and not sting the eye.Generally, it is usually wise to sharpen after a Temporal noise filtering which has averaged the noise out, but has preserved image details. This results in stepwise color changes in faces (cartoon effect). If the resulting picture is sharpened, this effect even gets stronger. (!) In this case it is better, gently raising sharpness before the temporal filter, so that it gets more details (MSU sharpen: small overall). After that apply temporal smoothing with a factor of 4. 5. The coarse details are more enhanced than the fine-grained noise. The visual result looks quite nice. Other sharpen filters much more aggressivly raise noise.This should never be applied to such an extent that the edges in the image become to hard. Therefore I only use the normal sharpness filter ( small overall or overall ).Use with care.Mostly for anime.Unfortunately no hep files are given for proper parameter adjustment.Vertical lines get rippled. This filter tries to find and correct vertical lines in the frame. Attention! When the signal is very noisy the resulting output can become much more disturbed than the input has been. These filters use different algorithms to smoothen our these artefacts. The results look very good (see screenshot ). This filter chain works extremely slow, mostly because of the MSU Cartoon restore filter (multipass, medium strength). With this setup the framerate of my system slowed down from 5.5 fps to 1 fps only. This leads to a loss of whole ranges of color. In addition, even image contrast bleaches out and gamma shifts. The movies then look as if they were copied several times by a photo copy machine.Old movies often have very dark and harsh shadows and the lights are faded and pale. Therefore as a first step, an S-shaped gradation curve should be applied, which softens contrasts of the shadows and pulls more gray values into the lights. Assumption is that the levels are already set to the full range of 0. 255 (Level Filter). Now you have to avtivate temporarily a grayscale filter, because you get a better impression of the brightness. Insert Gradiation filter: apply a soft S-curve for brightness (value), which compresses the histogram in the bright region, but stretches it in the very dark area How are skin tones? Numerical control: Clouds are white, grass has about 67 gray value, skin is at 160.180 Which are missing? Therefore, corrections in RGB or CMYK area may be appropriate. You can conclude from the remaining colors that still are present which channels have to be processed.Probably in the blue layer the bright blue colors also are faded, but dark blue has remained. As a compensation the green portion has to be increased, but probably also the bright blue tones have to be enhanced. For a movie that contains only red, orange, yellow and green, the blue layer is bleached. Probably in the green layer the bright colors also are faded, but dark green has remained. As a compensation the blue portion has to be increased, but probably also the bright green tones have to be enhanced.Therefore it should be used for certain scenes only, but never globally for the whole movie. (!) In addition to gamma settings (also for each individual color channel), luma, saturation and color channels (RGB and YMK) If the 3 controls for dark, middle and hights affect the color balance to global, RGB EQ can show up to a total of 17 sliders in each channel which can control small areas of brightness of that color. As a control you should observe the color of gray areas (walls). They shall not show any brightness-dependent color tints.Often it is useful to soften very dark and very bright areas, as they usually look hard and jagged. In dark gray ranges you can sharpen the image, because there have been preserved most of the image details. With this settings details in the image are enhanced, without increasing noise.If a film is very blurred, skin tones in faces sometimes look jagged after the temporal filtering. In this case it is useful to slightly sharpen the image before applying the Temporal Smoother (MSU smart sharpen: small overall). So the noise filter will find more details.In most cases I you will need also to adjust the audio track of the video. The final rendering of the video can need some hours. Thats why you can store the video in an intermediate data format. If you reduce your picture to 384p, the generated file needs about Or you have to use another codec. This goes back to how the orgininal Microsoft codec handeled luminance levels. Unfortunately there are two different definitions of luminance levelsThe problem is that some of the MJPEG decoders do this scaling each time a video file is opened, evenHowever Virtualdub with the PicVideo codec processes the video correct. Other MJPEG decoders automaticly stretch tv levels to pc levels without asking. Then select the corrected audio track you have stored. Select different positionsIs everything okay, you can Some times it is better to put the final video in an MKV containerIn MKV you can define chapter markers. With the X.264 codec you get a good compression. Some stand alone DivX DVD players requiere using the Xvid codec. Test patterns DVD (in French, as an ISO file). Sometimes the capture of vhs-recordings can have chromashifts. This meansTake a look at the following clip:Likewise the green (of the gras)Luckely, there are VirtualDub and.

Go to filter's page to getThis has the effect of blending low-level video noise while retaining sharp details. This helps MPEG compression without damaging image quality. When it detects interlace lines, it removes them using either blending or interpolation depending on your settings. In static picture areas, interlacing artifacts do not appear, so data from both fields is used to provide full detail. In moving areas, deinterlacing is performed.

Logos usualy destroy quality of encoded video stream. This guide deals exclusively with the second step: Video Clean-up. While many of the lessons to be learned in this guide apply to all platforms, this guide is written from the perspective of PC-based hardware, running Microsoft Windows (and is largely MS OS version agnostic). We also mentioned that there are other ways to import your analog video to your computer via analog-to-digital DV bridges and DV cameras. Whichever way you get your video into your computer, this second part of the series will cover certain techniques such as Cutting, Cropping, De-interlacing, Inverse Telecine, Filtering, Noise Reduction, and Intermediary Recompression. Simply put, this guide will teach you how to clean up your video and set you up for final destination (compression), which will be covered in Part 3. It is entirely possible to do video clean-up with less than this configuration, but the elapsed time for clean-up will be significant longer. Obviously, a faster CPU, more RAM, and more HD space will make this job easier and faster. If you want to work through this as a tutorial, please download each specified software package, filter, and codec. The latest versions of the PICVideo MJPEG codec can still be downloaded for free, but contain a watermark in the upper right corner of the video. Also note that AviSynth 2.0.x is NOT compatible with 2.5.x type filters. Nor can AviSynth 2.0.x and 2.5.x be installed at the same time either. For advanced users, it is possible to use 2.0.x filters with AviSynth 2.5.x, but it requires you to perform a somewhat complex LoadOldPlugins procedure. For now we just recommend that you download and install AviSynth 2.0.x and its respective 2.0.x filters. Ars may earn compensation on sales from links on this site. Read our affiliate link policy. Ad Choices. Therefore, the best approach is through relaxation. Imagine that energy bubbling inside you, like liquid being cooked. Imagine this cleansing breath to be acting like a vacuum—drawing up all of the bubbling liquid. Imagine how keeping any part of your upper extremities tense would result in a “kink” in the release valve, and so complete relaxation is the key to success. Remember: Relax everything from the fingertips to the very bottom edges of your shoulder blades. Many speakers, especially those who are concerned about the physical manifestations of nervousness, have used this relaxation technique effectively. Many people have the impression that writing a script of the entire speech is the necessary first step in preparation; that practicing can only happen after you are done writing the entire speech. Unfortunately, this common impression is mistaken. Remember that lunch with your friends. When you were describing the movie plot, you were being conversant in a prepared way. This means that you knew what you were describing, but you were not concerned with the specific words you were using. Being conversant is the condition of being prepared to discuss an issue intelligently. Fans of sports are conversant about their favorite teams. Experts are conversant in their fields. A well-prepared speaker is conversant with regard to her topic. Consider how being conversant in this manner allows freer, more fluid communication, with no stress associated with your ability to remember what words you wanted to use. Being conversant also gives the speaker the best chance to recognize and react to audience feedback. If you are completely focused on the integrity of scripted comments, then you will be unable to read and react to your audience in any meaningful way. Imagine how frustrating it would be for your friends at that lunch if you would not respond to any of their questions until you were finished reading a few descriptive paragraphs about the movie. They would probably just wait until you were done reading and then try to engage you in a conversation! Many of us might recall moments during rehearsals when our minds would “freeze” and we might need just a quick reminder—the next word or phrase, the next few notes—to get back on track. This is because people do not memorize in units, but in phrases or chunks. The mind attaches to a rhythm—not to each individual unit, word, or note. This is why it is best to minimize what you memorize. Prepare your opening carefully so that you start smoothly. Prepare your closing comments so that you can end sharply and with style. But avoid preparing and then memorizing an entire script. Concentrating on remembering words is different from paying attention to how one’s audience is reacting. The pressure that arises from trying to remember the next word can be considerable, yet that pressure is entirely avoidable. The goal of public speaking should never be about loyal recreation of a script—it is about getting the appropriate response from your audience. Trying to remember an entirely scripted speech can result in the rather ironic situation of a person being able confidently and smoothly to discuss the topic in casual conversation, but still quite stressed about their ability to remember their scripted comments. Of course they knew what they were talking about, but their minds were focused on the task of remembering specific words—a task different from effective speaking. So, should you write any prepared comments at all. Yes, of course,you should. Specifically, the feedback you should be most concerned with will happen during the body of the speech—when you are discussing the substance of your presentation. It is during the body of the speech when you need especially to retain the ability to adjust to how your audience reacts. Thus, memorizing your entire speech is ultimately detrimental to your ability to react to your audience. However, during the introduction and conclusion of your speech, the primary concerns are about connecting with your audience personally; which is something best assured through consistent eye contact. So, carefully preparing the introduction and the conclusion of your speech is a smart strategy—but don’t make the mistake of scripting everything that you plan to say. The best rule here: Minimize what you memorize—familiarize instead! How good were you out of the gate. Perhaps you had talent or were gifted with a “feel” for what you were doing. But even then, didn’t you get better with more experience. Nobody does anything the very best they can on their very first attempt, and everyone—even the most talented among us—will benefit from effective practice. To maximize the chance that your presentation will come out smooth and polished, you will need to hear it all the way through. By practicing out loud, from the beginning to the ending, you will be able to listen to your whole speech and properly gauge the flow of your entire presentation. Additionally, without at least one complete out-loud practice, there will be no way to accurately estimate the length of your speech and your preparation will remain insufficient. When dealing with CA, the last thing you want is to leave some questions unanswered in your own mind. The out-loud “dress rehearsal” is the single, most important element to your preparation. Without it, you will be delivering your presentation in full for the first time when it counts the most. Putting yourself at that sort of disadvantage isn’t wise, and is easily avoided. At some point, you will have gathered notes and information together. That represents an opportune moment for your first out-loud practice. You might even consider trying that initial practice without the benefit of any notes. Stand up; start speaking; see what comes out. Such a practice can serve as an “oral first draft” in the same vein as any written first draft of a paper, and can answer a number of questions for you: Remember that when you are having a conversation, you never use the same sort of language and syntax as you do when you are writing a formal paper. Practice with the goal of becoming conversant in your topic, not fluent with a script. We’ve discussed Cognitive Restructuring as a means of changing your attitude about presenting in a positive way. Depending on your personal brand of CA, you may choose to implement these hints in different ways. Take a moment to reflect on what causes your CA. Do you dislike the feeling of being the center of attention. Are you more concerned with who is in the audience and what they might think of you. Or are you worried about “freezing” in front of the audience and forgetting what you wanted to say. Write some of these concerns down and put them into a priority order. If you are worried about a particular issue or problem, how might you prepare to minimize the chance of that issue arising? Do you prepare more for a written paper than for an oral presentation. Do you have the goal of presenting a scripted message. Do you practice out loud. When, during your process, do you practice aloud. Do you practice at all before you begin to compose your speaking notes; or do you only practice after. Remember that dealing with CA often involves the breaking of a mental habit. It is a good idea to change what you have done previously. Be deliberate. Observe what works for your situation. CA is the result of many varied causes—some internal and personal, some external and experiential. Dealing with anxiety may be as much dealing with your attitude as with your skills, as much a struggle with perception as with ability. Because of this, you are in the best position to know how to deal with your particular brand of CA.
