I generally do Denoise, NNEDI3 double, Sharpen. I also found that for some videos with considerable noise, using InterFrame to increase the frame rate to 60fps neutralizes a lot of the noise and makes the encoding more effective.

To maintain the smoothness and same quality, you just need a decent resizer, nothing more. Spline36Resize is OK, although some may prefer a NNEDI3-based solution.

Here is a Sample of OLD DVD5.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/00...n/VTS_02_1.MPG I have lots of DVDs like this. I need to enhance the quality while upscaling. Please take a look on this. Post your 720 encode and avisynth filters/script used for that! |

So because of that, you should encode at 29.97fps and this is the best you will get out of this source I think: Code:
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VTS_02_1.d2v", info=3) qtgmc(preset="very slow") selecteven() crop(2, 80, -4, -80) spline64resize(1280, 480) #resize for correct 2.66:1 aspect ratio This is the best you will be able to get out of this source. No need to have a higher resolution, as the source is really bad. EDIT: I've now checked if it could be a 2.76:1 resolution and by the looks of it - it's very likely that its a native 2.76:1 resolution, which would mean you would need to resize it to 1280x464. Yeah when you look at frame 1277 after deinterlacing, it seems to me that the correct aspect ratio is 2.76:1. So you will need to use spline64resize(1280, 464). Its really even more unusual for the aspect ratio in movies to be 2.76:1, but it seems to be the case here, Im quite sure. SO this is the script youd need: Code:
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VTS_02_1.d2v", info=3) qtgmc(preset="very slow") selecteven() crop(2, 80, -4, -80) spline64resize(1280, 464) #resize for correct 2.76:1 aspect ratio Last edited by 8-BaLL; 21st June 2015 at 13:29. |

This source is a 2.76:1 source, so encoding at 1280x464 is the only correct way here. And as already stated, the aspect ratio doesnt change quality, but when you encode it at 1280x464 which is the native aspect ratio of this source, instead of 1280x720 (which would be 16:9), the file size will be smaller, because you avoid unneeded pixels. If you prefer it 16:9 still, even though its a 2.76:1 source, you can still scale it in the player later (most media players and software players support zoom option, like zoom to full screen etc.). But its best to encode things at their native aspect ratio, to avoid unnecessary bigger file size. Quote:
Your source is interlaced. It has some frame blending too, but because its a rather bad source and was recorded in a weird way, theres not much you can do to get rid of blended frames. You could add a little sharpening to the video to see if you like the result. For example by using LSFmod(defaults="slow"), its also possible to add some sharpening with the QTGMC script (it has some parameters for it), since the source has basically VCD resolution, but Im not a big fan of sharpening at least not in movies.

Upscaling is just making frame bigger. Sharpening is just making frame sharper.
Smoothness shouldn't hurt from them. So anything that works for you is fine. For sharpening videos, there are several sharpeners you can use. For example: lsfmod(), fft3dfilter(bt=-1, sharpen=0.3), nonlinusm(), fqrestore() - my favourite, or use just sharpen(). Here is the list of some sharpeners http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Externa...ers#Sharpeners |

I think you should walk before you run. Learn what you have and how it should be treated before wasting your time upscaling very very poor DVDs.
The first thing you should learn is how to unblend your DVDs, since that's the crap that comes out of your country - very bad DVDs produced by very bad companies. And you should learn how to figure out the aspect ratio for yourself, and it's not 2.76:1. Depending on how you resize, it's about 2:1 using ITU resizing and 1.95:1 with non-ITU resizing. Maybe 8-BaLL didn't notice the source resolution is 352x480. This one is especially poorly blended so it's impossible to unblend it properly. The base framerate is 23.976fps (I'm pretty sure), but the usual QTGMC/Srestore combination doesn't work very well with this. |

Yes you are quite correct on this. The source DVD is very poor in both audio and Video. Only Time is wasted by the nonsense work on this kind of DVDs.
But I didn't get you on what you mean by blend and unblend. Could you please make me clear on it? |

Look at it after QTGMC alone and you should notice the blending easily when going over it frame by frame. It's the blends/ghosts/double images you see during movement.
You won't even be able to make a decent-looking 16:9 DVD from this 352x480 4:3 source, so the last thing you should be trying to do is convert it to hi-def. |
