how to get this script working ? following, arranged, people

andy

hi people, atm i'm trying to rip a dvd which is pretty noisy. so i searched this forum and found the following avs-script (arranged by Acaila) which i plan to use with AVISynth v2.06:

Source=MPEG2source(quot;D:\DivX Rip\DivX\X-Men\X-Men_64bit.d2vquot;).Crop16,74,696,432)
Temporal=Source.TemporalSoften2(1,5,25).MergeChroma(Source)
Spatial=SmoothHiQ(Temporal,3,25,10,192,3).MergeLuma(Temporal)
Movie=Spatial.Trim(0,136800).BicubicResize(672,288,0,0.5)
Credits=Trim(Source,136801,0).TemporalSmoother(10).BilinearResize(672,288)
Return Movie+Credits

i did these customizations:
- changed movie name, cropping and resizing
- renamed quot;TemporalSoften2quot; -gt; quot;TemporalSoftenquot;
- added LoadPlugin(quot;mpeg2dec.dllquot;)
- added LoadVirtualDubPlugin(quot;smoothhiq.vdfquot;, quot;SmoothHiQquot;)

when opening this script with VirtualDub v1.4.10 i allways get an error in the line quot;Spatial=SmoothHiQ(Temporal,3,25,10,192,3).MergeLuma(Temporal)quot;. it seems like SmoothHiQ's parameter list isn't ok. i tried SmoothHiQ v1.1 and SmoothHiQ v2.11 - no success.

could someone please give me a hint for getting this script to work ? what version of SmoothHiQ do i need ?

You are currently using the VDub version of SmoothHiQ. To make your script work you'll need the avisynth version instead. You can get it here.

One update to the script:
Change Temporal=Source.TemporalSoften2(1,5,25).MergeChroma(Source) into Temporal=Source.TemporalSoften2(1,5,0). I only figured that part out after I posted the script. It should be a bit faster now and have the exact same quality as before .

thank you Acaila. at this very moment your script roasts my cpus

is it within the limits that i only get 1-4 fps on my dual p3 1ghz ?

Yup that's normal. It's a slow combination.
