Ripping Questions

elchupacabra · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:18 pm **Post subject:** Ripping Questions

Since I don't want to continue spamming BadBugs's Gordian Knot Guide Thread I decided to create a new one. All questions on ripping can be posted below. :wacky:

Well, yes ... and here is the first one already:

I want to do a re-rip of Leprechaun 1, since my first rip was an AutoGK version. Quality is nice but I think it can be improved. The problem is that the DVD video covers darker parts (with a lot of noise) and brighter parts (with almost no noise at all).

Because of this I would like to apply different filters on different parts of the movie.

My AVS looks like this:

Code:

# AVS Created with notepad

#  PLUGINS
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\AviSynthPlugins\UnDot.dll")

#  RESIZING
BicubicResize(704,368)

The rebuilding of the clip doesn't work. I get this ERROR message: "Splice: Frame Sizes don't match".

Is this a bad idea? Is it possible to apply different filters on different parts of the movie? And if yes, why doesn't this work?

RedVeil · **Posted:** Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:45 am **Post subject:**

Looking at the script I can't see where Frame Sizes could possibly be different. Cropping is applied to the whole clip, so is the BicubicResize.

Sorry, can't help you here.

I never saw it as spamming, besides, the more questions you or others ask in the thread that get answered, the more information is there to be found easily :wink:

Unfortunately its not a sticky & neither is this, but this one is more likely to get lost in the bowels of DD history if you get what I mean so erm, spam away :lol:

elchupacabra · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2008 11:01 pm **Post subject:**

My idea was to let your thread be the guide and post only improvement suggestions and create a new one with all the questions.

Any idea I can't apply filters to different parts of the video though?

BadBugs · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2008 11:06 pm **Post subject:**

I'm still no expert, but zone options allow you to add filters to certain sections... try Rogue, I know he knows his way round zones

The basics of the guide are still intact on page 1, thats all I care about to tell you the truth so dont worry about using the following pages to ask all your questions as thats what theyre there for :mrgreen:

Sry Spud somehow I missed the part about the 3 segments

. Here's an example of what you can do, it's the easiest way I can think of:

Code:

import("x:\xxx.avs")
LoadPlugin("x:\xxx.dll")
Mpeg2Source("x:\yoursource.d2v")
Crop(left,top,right,bottom)

set = last

C0 = set.LanczosResize(xxx,yyy)
C1 = set.LanczosResize(xxx,yyy).LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0,Smode=4,strength=20)
C2 = set.LanczosResize(xxx,yyy).dehalo().LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0,Smode=4,strength=40)

C0.Trim(startframe,endframe)+C1.Trim(startframe,endframe)+C2.Trim(startframe,endframe)

What it basicly would do is apply the settings that you put in C0,C1,C2 to the segments you trim with frame numbers in the end of the script. All you have to do is to play with the sharpening settings so that the movie would be on equal level of sharpness, of course you may also want to apply some denoisers to all parts and some sharpening to the clear picture segment if needed. As I said thats the easiest solution I could think of for it.

Try that...

I'll try it. Thanks spud. :wink:

obviously change the filters, but i'd try the resize suggestion because that could be the key

BadBugs · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:47 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Youd recommend Lanczos over spline36 when using zone options? why? This is a noob question as I'm using spline over lanczos due to the fact its new & built into the latest AVISynth & its what Lux & elguaxo tell me to use.

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:51 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

no, i mean apply the resize to each section if you are having framesize issues.

that post is quoted from about 4 years ago.

BadBugs · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:54 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Ahhh, that makes sense & this damn poxy Wicker man has that problem, the exclusive clips need more cropping & are a different size after crop to the rest of the film. Thanks for pointing this one out as zone options, despite being a royal pain in the :moon:

, are gonna be essential if I ever manage to get this thing deinterlaced smoothly :mrgreen:

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:56 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

I'm way behind with filters and ripping techniques, too busy to keep up with that stuff :lol:

I'm still using the old version of avisynth

BadBugs · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:05 am **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Well, Lux took a look at the vobsample last night after I Pm'd him on SBIG & so far hes had no luck although hes not given up. When he gives up that means no AFR of this crappy source as I aint got a clue what to do with this & I aint got time to go spending days trawling through doom9 posts looking for a resolution. I'm not a ripper, I do it for everyone else to enjoy & without help I'm screwed :lol:

Thanks matey. :beerchug:

Sorry I missed this, here's the crop sequence from my latest project:

Code:

#  CROPPING
a=trim(0,2148).crop(10,6,-8,-4).LanczosResize(704,384)
b=trim(2149,4331).crop(12,4,-8,-12).LanczosResize(704,384)
c=trim(4332,4401).crop(12,14,-8,-6).LanczosResize(704,384)
d=trim(4402,6874).crop(12,4,-8,-12).LanczosResize(704,384)
e=trim(6875,7012).crop(10,6,-8,-4).LanczosResize(704,384)
f=trim(7013,7066).crop(12,4,-8,-8).LanczosResize(704,384)
g=trim(7067,22237).crop(10,6,-8,-4).LanczosResize(704,384)
h=trim(22238,23283).crop(12,4,-8,-12).LanczosResize(704,384)
i=trim(23284,23336).crop(8,8,-8,-4).LanczosResize(704,384)
j=trim(23337,128409).crop(10,6,-8,-4).LanczosResize(704,384)
k=trim(128410,130071).crop(24,8,-8,-6).LanczosResize(704,384)

x=(a ++ b ++ c ++ d ++ e ++ f ++ g ++ h ++ i ++ j ++ k)

x.[whatever you wanna do next]

From here you can go on with the reassembled clip being 'last'.

I have some moving matte on that DVD in case you're wondering.

elchupacabra · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:12 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Ok thanks a lot. So it was probably the resizing as spud said.

What does ++ do?

^Rogue^ · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:56 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Code:

x=(a ++ b ++ c ++ d ++ e ++ f ++ g ++ h ++ i ++ j ++ k)

Makes one clip out of all the trimmed parts again. That's why you need to resize first, you can't merge sequences with different resolutions.

elchupacabra · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:56 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

Ok that was clear to me. Why ++ and not +? Is there any difference?

^Rogue^ · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2008 5:25 pm **Post subject:** Re: Ripping Questions

I've never tried it with just one + but here's some info on avisynth operators. Feel free to research:
