Hi all,
Sorry if i'm doing something wrong in my first post.
Basically i'm trying to restore some footage i got from old VHS tapes. For now i have two different videos to play with and want to improve the image before storing them (in h264/mp4?). I may later try to recapture the tapes (i think i know where they are), for now i have the huge files compressed with lagarith (should have used huffyUV or other?).
I've spent some free time over the last two weeks reading about the subject and i *guess* i need to deinterlace the video, maybe do some color/black&whites correction, maybe cropping and possibly play with noise reduction or sharpness - anyway i accept any suggestions.
My main problem is related to the amount of guides and ideas i read around the web. Read a few such as Capture guide from Doom9, one of the guides in the digital faq, others (e.g.: http://www.engon.de/audio/vhs4_en.htm) but while they are highly interesting in explaining the concepts, i think that most seem outdated regarding the plugins to use. A simple example with deinterlacing, i've checked 100fps.com in addition to the other articles and tried (briefly) some of the suggested plugins. Still the best result i got (at least to my naive perception) was with the virtualdub internal deinterlacer using the Yadif + doubling the frame rate - should probably be using avisynth, right?
Attached are 3 pictures of the videos (two from video1 and one from video2).
What kind of corrections do you suggest and possible plugins to achieve that? Thanks a million! :)
