Improving quality?

[Kazemon15]

I was ripping Magic Knight Rayearth dvds for an AMV...as I was ripping the season 2 last disk....I noticed the rips were horrible quality. They crammed 5 episodes AND extras on one disk... =/

On TV, it was a little fuzzy, but as VOBs, they got these really ugly black and white lines at the sides. The dvd was a boxset released by Anime Works. Is there any way to improve this quality...or if worst comes to worst, I'll have to rebuy season 2 that was released by a different anime company, or is there a different release?

I tried doing what the guides said, but I kept getting this:

Avisynth open failure:
Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source"
(C:\MKR\Script.avs, line 1)

I researched and tried downloading what I though was "mpeg2source", loaded the plugin and I got this:

Avisynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll"
(C:\MKR\Script.avs, line 1)

The script I used is this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\mpeg2dec3.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\MKR\MKR 2 - 1 part 1.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=false,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)

you shouldn't need the loadplugin line since mpeg2dec3.dll is in avisynth's plugins directory (any plugin in there autoloads)

also, are you using dvd2avi or dgindex to index your vobs?

I used dgindex.

And I also tried not to load it, since it was in the folder, but it still said:

Avisynth open failure:
Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source"
(C:\MKR\Script.avs, line 1)

And thanks for replying. =3

you should have dgdecode.dll in the plugins folder then (though if it is and mpeg2source still isn't working I don't have a clue why)

remove mpeg2dec3.dll (it may be causing a conflict if you have dgdecode.dll)
and if you don't have dgdecode.dll you'll need to grab dgindex again (the two should come together)

you need to have the same version of dgindex and dgdecode for dgdecode to work (you'll get some other cryptic error if you have different versions) so you may end up re-indexing your vobs

Okay thanks, I'll check it out. ^^

If its on .vob then you rendered it in DGIndex as .d2v then it should look like this for the first line.

mpeg2source("File Path .d2v")

Hope that helps
