Artifacts in Anime/Toon Footage

Perhaps some color settings with the graphics card are off.

Running 32-bit avisynth on a 64-bit OS doesn't matter (running a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit cpu doesn't either). I highly doubt it would be anything wrong with the graphics card hardware (you'd be having a lot more problems besides video playback if that were the issue).

Unless you're running into this problem in other places (not just with vobs) then it's probably not a driver issue either. Might be worth it to update your card's drivers though (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx)

My guess is either your filtering or your rendering are broken. I also didn't notice anything wrong with the chroma subsampling (and I had to borrow my sister's fabulous pink laptop to check.) At a guess, something in your playback chain is causing a chroma re-sample that is somehow borking on the red end, most likely a colour depth change somewhere. I doubt it's the driver or card itself though, but then again ATI have always had crappy drivers so who knows~

Do you see it without any filtering at all?

No.

The following images are from the source vob, opened in MPC-HC, no script.

HMMMMMM. Now, suddenly, for some unexplained reason I cannot open any AVS scripts in any media player or editor (MPC, virtualdub, mplayer etc.).

Most recent script:

Code: Select all

Dgdecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\?\dvd rip\Ed, Edd n Eddy\Ed Edd n Eddy Episode 2.d2v", cpu=6, info=3)
Colormatrix(hints=true, dest=2, interlaced=false)
TemporalDegrain()
FFT3Dgpu(sigma3=1, bt=3, plane=3)
ContraSharpening()
loadplugin("C:\users\?\downloads\warpsharp.dll")
EE()

When opening it in v'dub it gives the error "Invalid arguments to function ContraSharpening()".


BTW, what does the error "This application has failed to start because stlport_vc7146.dll was not found" man and how can I fix this? It gives this error for MeGUI and VDM too. Is there a directory the stlport dll can be put in so the error won't appear for any programs, or does the dll need to be added to each individual programs' folder?

Contrasharpening works only if you feed it 2 clips. The first clip is the filtered clip, the second one the original.

How do I do this? Type the location of each file in the contrasharpening parentheses?

Gives the error "expected a , or )".

Gives the invalid arguments error.
