Did you ever get my final?

yep. There was some blocking going on in it. I'm going to see if I can run a deblock script on it to fix it.


EDIT: Yea code, were going to need to talk:

what's wrong with it? that's just how the dvds were produced :/

Aaron, I doubt he's working with DVDs.

Looks like it could be from where there was high action on the screen and the blur was created from the attack being made. Not necessarily a scripting problem. That's just my thought though. I might be wrong.

I'm not saying that it's a scripting problem. I'm saying it's a quality problem and it looks pretty bad I know that Loveless isnt a 'new' anime, but I have worked with sources older than it and I dont run into the same quality problem.

Why you say that? l:

So Loveless was produced with blocking, roughness, and blurriness all over? or did they just not feel like compressing it properly so the people who made it uploaded it to YouTube. Then they downloaded it from there and transferred it to DVD for distribution.

1) I'm working with DVD's. Period. Get over any doubts that I'm not.
2) You picked a action scene that lasts a total of 3 or so seconds. It's also the WORST scene in my entire track, which gives the implication that the rest of it is just as bad, which it is not.
3) Loveless's DVD footage SUCKS. Scripting it is a bitch and does more harm than good 9 times out of ten. I worked with what I had. Regular scenes aren't affected, but action scenes [when paused] have that blockage. Below is a scene from VirtualDub from my uncompressed footage I had from the DVD. The second is another scene just moments later. See the difference in quality?



4) It's not my scripting. Below is clips from Jaddziadax's Photos and Phone Calls. Same problems with blocking in areas.




If loveless isn't up to par with your video quality standards, then just tell me to redo the track with something else, but you're not getting any quality better than that out of loveless.

EDIT:

Oh, and Scintilla's Loveless AMV:

Code: Select all

smoothd(3,8)
saa()
gradfun2dbmod()
awarpsharp2(depth=8)

A bit on the blurry side, but the source image was a bit blurry itself to begin with. Unless you consider the blocking as sharp detail, huh.

Alright, Code your track is fine now. Thank you mirk for your help ^_^.

I've dropped one of Neverend's tracks and Kitsuner has replaced him. I gave Neverend quite a few warnings, so regrettably, I still have to drop him for not giving me an updated beta. Welcome Kitsuner to the team people

[TwilightChrono]

Welcome aboard Kitsuner. Make it Epic XD

Again welcome aboard, and I look forward to seeing your track.

Also, just making sure. you recieved my final and laggy right, LA? I sent them to you in PM.
