This filter is able to output in the RGB, YUY2 and YV12 colorformats.
It is a MPEG-2 decoder and it is able to decode any MPEG-2 streams readable by
dvd2avi 1.76 / 1.77.3 / 1.83x (and others). It also supports hdtv stream,
although you need dvd2avi 1.83.5
for this. (This is a modified version of MPEG2Dec2 from save-oe (smart audio video encoder).)
Additional features are (for example): YV12, YUY2 and RGB32 output (although it is
recommended to use AviSynth's color conversion routines), interlacing control,
integrated PostProcessing, Luminance Filtering, etc.
Examples Usage of MPEG2Dec3 package filters:
(all the avisynth script lines here are only exemples)
First, add the following line in your .avs script :
LoadPlugin("MPEG2Dec3.dll") # because Avisynth 2.5 didn't support Autoloading yet
Basic MPEG2Dec3 usage :
To do plain YV12 decoding.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v")
To use Post Processing : here, deblocking only.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v",cpu=4)
it's better to use Field Based Post Processing for interlaced sources.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v",cpu=4,iPP=true)
if you have a intel Pentium 4 cpu, you can force sse2 idct.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v",idct=5)
To use custom post processing setting : only deringing here.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v",cpu2="ooooxx")
Colorspace convertions :
To convert to YUY2.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v")
YV12toYUY2()
To convert to YUY2 a progressive source.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v")
YV12toYUY2(interlaced=false)
To convert to RGB24.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v")
YV12toRGB24()
FlipVertical() #YV12->BGR24 convertion natively flips image
To convert to RGB24 a progressive source.
MPEG2Source("dvd.d2v")
YV12toRGB24(interlaced=false)
FlipVertical() #YV12->BGR24 convertion natively flips image
Usefull additionnal YV12 Filters :
To Darken Luminosity.
LumaFilter(-10,0.9)
To Ligthen Luminosity.
LumaFilter(+10,1.1)
Of course you can tweak the settings how you want.
See the Syntax part for more information about it.
Syntax of MPEG2Dec3 package filters :
MPEG2Source :
MPEG2Source(str "d2v", int "cpu" int "idct" bool "iPP", int "moderate_h", int "moderate_v", bool "showQ", bool "fastMC", str "cpu2")
Post Processing strength fine tunning.
smaller values are stronger. use with care.
default : moderate_h=20, moderate_v=40
idct : 1 to 5.
iDCT : iDCT algo used.
0 : Default value (in .d2v file)
1 : 32 bit MMX
2 : 32 bit SSEMMX
3 : 64 bit FPU
4 : 64 bit IEEE-1180 Reference
5 : 32 bit SSE2 (for P4)
6 : Skal's SSEMMX iDCT (fastest)
7 : SimpleiDCT (Very accurate iDCT from XviD project)
default : 0
iPP :
To use Field-Based Post-Processing.
it' better if you want to deinterlace
- True : Field based
- False : Image based (default)
showQ :
To see the quantizers used for each MB.
a fun tool to play with ^^
default : false
fastMC :
Vlad's Fast Motion Compensation code.
very small speedup, and degraded accuracy
it's here for testing purposes, and would probably be removed in next versions
for ssemmx capable cpu only.
default : false
cpu2 :
Custom cpu settings
you need to enter a 6 charachter string. each cross (x)
would enable the corresponding Post Processing feature :
example :
"oxoxox"
123456
would enable chroma only PP
YV12->BGR24 convertion natively flips image
Use FilpVertical() after
interlaced :
set this to true if your source is interlaced,
to interlace chroma correctly.
if you have a progressive stream, using false will
give sharper and real colors
default : true
TVscale :
The same setting as in DVD2AVI.
it may be inversed. try with and without and keep your favorite
default : false
YV12toYUY2 :
YV12toYUY2(clip, bool "interlaced")
interlaced :
set this to true if your source is interlaced,
to interlace chroma correctly.
if you have a progressive stream, using false will
give sharper and real colors
default : true
tff :
Top Field First.
set this to false if you have Bottom Field First.
default : true
BlindPP :
BlindPP(clip, int "quant", int "cpu", str "cpu2", bool "iPP", int "moderate_h", int "moderate_v")
To Deblock and Dering on any kind of DCT-encoded source.
Of course, less accurate than decoder intergrated PP, but still very efficient
need YV12 input.
quant :
Emulated Quantizer
use higher value to increase aggressivity
using a value close to the source will allow very accurate postprocessing
default : 2
cpu, cpu3, iPP, moderate_h, moderate_v :
same settings as MPEG2Source's PP.
defaults : cpu=6,cpu2="",iPP=false,moderate_h=20,moderate_v=40
