I know this has been discussed every where to death, but….
I need some direction here from the guys that know how…
Spec
AMD 5400 (OC ot 3Ghz)
2GIG Ram
128 SSD Samsung
XP
9800GT 1GB
Philips 42″ 1080p 100hz 3ms LCD TV
I`m trying to better the results of my shows & movies on my oc. Please note i`m still new at this so, bear with me! Using zoomplayer 5 pro and ffdshow + avisynth.
The average source is divx/xvid of 624×352 resolution in TV Quality. (looks quite good on normal 4:3 TV, want to upscale for LCD)
After reading multiple posts and discussions regarding upscaling these are my conclusions. I`m looking for recommendations and suggestions on my process
Step 1: Postprocessing (is it needed ??)
-Enable presets, slider at max, tick automatic quality control
-Processing method: mplayer with accurate deblocking
Step 2: Blur & NR (Just to clean out my source)
-tick only denoise 3d and HQ (1,2,5, HQ)
Step 3: Avisynth scripting (fix color & denoise lightly + slight sharpen)
-SetMemoryMax(1024)
-LoadPlugin(“C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MT.dll”)
-ColorMatrix()
-MT(“fft3dfilter(sigma=1.5, bt=3, bw=32, bh=32, ow=16, oh=16, sharpen=0.4)”,2)
??? this is where i`m still not 100% sure of what i`m doing
Questions:
1. Would ColorMatrix() help at this point in time?
2. Is it nessasary to do a second denoise, is FFT3dFilter better than Blur&NR, should i just use FFT3dFilter?
3. Should i do a ConvertToRGB24 as my TV takes RGB color space
4. Does it make sense to include the sharpening of FFT3dFilter or should i use limitedsharpenfaster or seesaw
Step 4: Resize
-Resize to 1280×768
-tick keep original aspect ratio
-Settings
-Luma method: Spline
-Click on Lock and enable chroma method, select Spline
-Tick accurate rounding
Ok…more questions.
5. point to question 3, if i leave ConvertToRGB24 out before the resize, should i then use FFDShow`s one in output (RGP conversion checked)
6. should i do a sharpen after the resize? maybe XSharpen (strenght 20, treshold 150)
7. How will FluxSmoothT(3) help in this setup?
Thanks for all the help and if i went wrong somewhere please point it out. Thanks all
