Kare Kano help

[Krisqo]

This is the first time I've messed with old school Gainax so I'm having a rough time here.

I can't seem to get a few things done properly

1) No matter what I do I cannot get the damn thing to deinterlace properly.
2) All my flitering seems to make the source look washed out.

I'll post my script ATM, but keep in mind that this is just a result of me playing with various filter combinations so don't go saying "it's not working because you have too much crap" I know I do... but any advice on what can help will be appreciated.

Code: Select all

mpeg2Source("D:\KareKano1\karekano1.d2v",cpu=6)
DeDot()
TComb()
BiFrost()
#Sangnom(order=1,aa=32)
LeakKernelDeint(order=1, threshold=10)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)
UnDot()
TISophote()
Tweak(sat=1.0)
Crop(16,16,-8,-28)
LanczosResize(640,480)

Here are some visual aids if you want

Hi, i have a few questions.

LanczosResize(640,480)

If this is from a dvd source why decrease the resolution?

No matter what I do I cannot get the damn thing to deinterlace properly.

It doesnt look interlaced to me, although i would prefer not to use the leakkerneldeint filter, try TFM(-1). That should work .

All my flitering seems to make the source look washed out.

Well thats because the deen filter is set a bit high, try lowering the threshhold.

At the moment thats all i know. I havent experiment with the other filters you included (due to me not needing them at all). But if you follow the advice which i mentioned, you should probably wont need the rest of the filters.


Use this script and see if works out or not. If not tweak it.

Code: Select all

mpeg2Source("D:\KareKano1\karekano1.d2v",cpu=6)
TComb() 
BiFrost() 
TFM(-1) 
Deen("w3d",2,2,3) 
UnDot() 
Tweak(sat=1.0) 
Crop(16,16,-8,-28) 
LanczosResize(704,480) NTSC or LanczosResize(704,576) PAL

If your using pal(Which im guessing) use LanczosResize(704 or 576) and for NTSC LanczosResize(704,480)

but its up to you.

Goodluck

I'm actually using NTSC.

I tried TFM but I was still getting interlacing in some spots, but I'll try what you have for shits and giggles.

I used leakkerneldeint because I was running down the list in the new EADFAG of deinterlacers.

I resized down because 640x480 is a good resolution to display on a computer monitor. Plus file sizes tend to be smaller.

But I'll run the script just to see what happens. Thanks for the response.

yeah I see it ... first crop off to 704 X 480.
.. next resize to 720 X 480.

for deinterlacing to work properly, it needs to know the actual size its working with .. 480

.. Now do your DeInterlacing

[Scintilla]

I would strongly suggest adding <b>d2v="D:\KareKano1\karekano1.d2v"</b> to the TFM call.

Post-it, why on earth would you want to resize before deinterlacing/IVTC? After all, the original interlacing/telecine was done on a source that had already been sized to DVD resolution and aspect ratio, so it seems to me that you'd get the most accurate field matching by not changing it from that.
