Hi all,
I have been capturing a lot of LDs over the past 3 months with Vdub and there is one nagging problem. I have been using both a CLD-D99 and CLD-R7G for capturing but if I turn on the noise reduction and 3D comb filter when capturing, I have nasty artifacts. Is it not possible to capture in VDub with filters in the video stream or is there some setting that I have missed? Even with the lowest settings, there are problems in the captures. There is checker pattern artifacts that mainly appear in interlaced frames and once IVTC'd, the artifacts appear as "ghosts" of the interlaced frame. This can appear before and after an interlaced frame. There is also constant ghosting from moving objects, there is a coloured halo that follows movement of characters. Even with sharp set to low (I don't actually use this setting), it made a sort of edge enhancement like ghost follow from moving characters.
It is quite frustrating not being able to use the filters because they improve the picture a great deal and then require less filtering with AviSynth. When it is a low quality LD that requires heavy handed filtering, it can leave an annoying banding effect. The only live action discs I have captured or will capture, are my Bon Jovi LDs. One in particular; "Tokyo Road: Live in Japan '85" desperately needs the LD filtering on when capturing because it is REALLY noisy for chroma and video noise. I have made a capture of it 3 times now and have not been satisfied with the resulting filtered product. Having to use heavy filtering makes the faces of the band look all splodgy and sponge like. The other LDs are much higher quality and will not need as much filtering.
I should note that this happens with 2 capture devices. I thought it was the device (Hauppauge Live TV USB2) and then bought an ATI Diamond 750 USB but it still happens. There is problems using VDubs own noise reduction during capture which is why I am wondering if there is a setting to fix this.
