The faster way (and among the best) is what FulciLives likes: The Convolution3D filter for AviSynth.īut you have to learn how to set up the filter yourself for the best possible results. This filter combine other filters (DNR, Chroma sifter, etc), optimised them on its own default settings and work "as is" for most cases (expecially if you are NTSC). There is also that flaxen VHS filter, who can easily remove this "grain" noise. Note that you have to interlace / enlarce your source when you use frame mergerĪn alternative (faster) goes like this (but more loss of picture detail): Static Noise Reduction (default setting, 6 ) because he uses such a high bitrate the first time around.īut yeah for cleaning up VHS video direct AVI to computer capture is the best method really.įor that noise, if you use virtualdub, you need the following filters (and in that order) I know someone that has a MPEG capture card that can go up to 15000kbps and he captures at 14000kbps (so as not to tax it) then converts to AVI for editing then converts back to MPEG-2 for DVD and despite the double compression you can't really see it. especially one that captures to AVI format.Įven if you only have a MPEG capture device you will probably be better off using that than the stand alone since the computer MPEG capture device can probably go at least 8000kbps if not higher.

However because of the double compression you are better off capturing the VHS video direct to the computer if you have a computer capture card or device. Thanks again! You can rip the DVD to your computer and then process it with either VirtualDub or AviSynth. Is there a way for me to record VHS using standalone recorder into DVD-RW and have either virtualDUB or AVIsynth filter? Do you think it will work? Does that mean I need to feed into computer from VHS using AVI files because I believe both VirtualDub and Avisynth both use AVI files.

I'll try and see which one work the best for me.
