MeGUI is an encoder, what you ask is not really in the MeGUI domain.
What kind of result?, you say what you do not want, but not what you do want. (and we are I presume to take it that the src is on the left).

It would be my guess that nobody knows what you want.

After you take away the color and line changes, what's left appears to be some sharpening. So apply a sharpening filter of your choice. For anime, something like MSharpen will spare the flat areas.

The two things I'm not sure if I want are the change of colors and thickness of lines (if you pay attention in the "restored" screens the lines are thinner).

Thanks in advance!
For modifying colors, you may want to play with the ColorYUV and Tweak settings in the AVIsynth file until you get what looks good for you. For instance:

Code:
ColorYUV(gain_u=-7, gain_v=-0)
Tweak(sat=.78,bright=5,hue=-3,cont=.8)
Read through these pages:
https://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english...ters/tweak.htm
https://www.animemusicvideos.org/gui...spostqual.html

Sharpening is another option to crispen up lines as videoh suggested. I know no means for adjusting line thickness.

What about the noise? The default from MeGUI is not enough, not even the "medium" one. I have some 30 seconds samples but I'm not sure if we can share them here. Perhaps a couple of screenshots will do.

I repeat, MeGUI is an encoder. (It basically encodes what you give it)
VideoH gave you a suggestion for MSharpen, good suggestion and it used to be my 'go to' sharpener, but alas I pretty much forgot about it lately.
VideoH, (aka Guest, aka Neuron2, aka Donald Graft) also does the MSmooth plugin, works in counterpart to the MSharpen plugin, maybe also give a try.

I repeat (again), MEGUI is an encoder, learn how to use Avisynth, and hand results to MeGUI for encoding.

Sorry to be nitpicky but it really isn't. It's a frontend to a bunch of programs including encoders to make it easy for people to convert their video/audio to the desired target format.

Thats OK nitpicker, you dont need apologise, anyways, I think we can agree that it aint a general purpose video editor.

I do have some nasty habits but picking sucking lice is not one of them.

The samples you have provided are fine, however I am not able to reproduce it. I used the VTS_02_1.VOB you have provided first, OneClick in default configuration and the encoding (video & audio) has 24:53 as excpected. Are you able to reproduce it with that file only?

Using the One-click, I'm pouring a bunch of avs script into it and it all works fine ...EXCEPT for the trim function. I suspect that this is due to MeGUI automatically demuxing everything before even looking at filters.

So, my audio is from the beginning of the stream and way out of sync. I believe that I can use the AVS Cutter tool, but this is somewhat cumbersome (over ten trim points) whereas I can easily build all the trimming into AvsPmod and simply transfer all the script to the One-click. Plus I can't control the fading in the AVS Cutter. Some trim points I want to fade and not others and I want shorter fading.

Is there some way to get the trim and fade avs filters to work in MeGUI like they would if I used Virtualdub to process the file?

Have you tried to use the trimmed avs file also as audio input?

Never mind providing an example. I was able to get it to work.

I had to strip out all of the other filters from the avs file script, leaving only the source video and the trim / fade filter.

Then, when I loaded that stripped-down avs file into the audio encoder, it worked perfectly.

Thanks

Zathor,
Thanks for the work on the chapter creator. It seems to be pretty good now. Except.....

I know it was my idea originally, but is there a reason why you stayed with locking the input fps when opening an IFO file, or locking the output fps when opening a preview?

The locking of the input fps is probably a bit like locking the Input DAR in the script creator. There's times when you need to change it. A common situation would be when opening chapters from an NTSC DVD and applying IVTC. In order to save a correct QP file you need to be able to tell the chapter creator to use 23.976 as the input frame rate instead of 29.97fps. If you open a preview script with IVTC applied, the chapter creator assumes the output fps has been slowed to 23.976fps and the chapter timecodes are also wrong because the frame rate has been reduced by removing frames.

There's a workaround. You can open an IFO file, save the chapters file with the input/output fps set to 29.97fps so the chapter timings are correct, then open the saved chapter file so you can set 23.976fps as the input/output frame rate, and from there save a correct QP file, but I'm not sure why it doesn't make more sense to adjust the input fps when opening an IFO file in the first place, as you can for text chapter files.

Locking the output fps when opening a preview is probably no big deal as it'd be safe to assume the preview script already has IVTC applied etc.

Thanks for the hard work!

I wonder, how come MeGUI sets x265 to rdoq-level=2 and psy-rdoq=1.00
when I encode video? The default is rdoq-level=0 and psy-rdoq=0.00

I used the x265-parameter:
--preset veryslow --crf 20 --frame-threads 1 --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --rc-lookahead 48 --ctu 32 --no-sao --deblock -1:-1 --qcomp 0.7 --ref 6 --bframes 16 --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 0.8

I used MeGUI-2896-64 and x265 v3.0RC4.
Thanks

Because you are using --preset veryslow.

Is it possible to choose the available languages? I only work with 3 and It's a bit annoying to always have to search for any of them in the large list of languages even by just pressing the first letter in the keyboard. I'm not talking about the default languages btw, I'm talking about these:

You already asked the same in the other MeGUI thread. No crossposting please.

Subtitles encoding to PGS zlib

Is it normal for MeGUI to encode the subtitles to zlib. Is there any way I can encode without changing the subtitles from PGS to PGS Zlib?
