[In progress] Face / Off and Broken Arrow

[CSchmidlapp]

Sorry I had a few beers last night (Guinness to be precise) and thought I should go into more detail about what Ive been doing.
Id like the audio files to accompany my final renders of the following 

Ive just done a blanket CC using Avisynth that I can play in realtime through MPC-HC.
Ive been leaning toward these of late and not rendering out a final video but instead having all my sources in a folder and running the script.
That way I can always play around / tweek some more.
I originally started doing this to DVD's I had where I would FPS convert, clean up and upscale but ive found alot of the old BD masters also benefit from the process.

Code:

PAL DVD to HD Using dgmpgdec158 and AVIsynth + 64
V=MPEG2Source(".d2v").TFM().spline64resize(1024, 576)
A=LWLibavAudioSource(".ac3")
AudioDub(V,A)
Assumefps(23.976, sync_audio = true)
FFT3Dgpu(sigma=1.5, plane=4, bt=4, mode=1, bw=16, bh=16, precision=2, ow=8, oh=8)
SuperResXBR(4, Str=1, Soft=0.2, XbrStr=3, XbrSharp=1.5,ConvertYuv=false, fWidth=1920, fHeight=1080, PlanarOut=true)
prefetch(8)

With the titles mentioned in the op I'm thinking of doing a final render, using the method in the Face/Off script below.

Original BD


Project

Code:

V1=avisource("L:\Broken Arrow\00000.avi").crop(0,134,-0,-134).FFT3Dgpu(sigma=1.5, plane=4, bt=4, mode=1, bw=16, bh=16, precision=2, ow=8, oh=8).SuperResXBR(2, Str=1, Soft=0.2, XbrStr=3, XbrSharp=1.5,ConvertYuv=false, fWidth=1920, fHeight=812, PlanarOut=true)
V2=avisource("L:\Broken Arrow\00000.avi").crop(0,134,-0,-134)
V=Average(V1,0.50,V2,0.50).KillAudio().ColorYUV(gamma_y=5, off_y=-2, off_u=2, off_v=-4)
A=FFMS2("L:\Broken Arrow\82761059_BROKEN_ARROW_F1\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", atrack=1)
AudioDub(V,A)
addborders(0, 134, 0, 134)
prefetch(8)

I pre-rendered the film as a straight transcode (native 8bit 4:2:0) to a lossless MagicYUV video file.
ffms2 has frame accuracy problems and as you can see I'm averaging.

Ive done the same with Face / Off.

Here is my Final Render script (when I'm happy)
This will not play in realtime an my PC, but im still rocking a 8 year old i7 3770 with an RX480.
Im sure a more updated PC could handle it with ease.

Code:

Clip1=AVIsource("paramount.avi").converttoyv24().convertbits(16).trim(40, 0).KillAudio()
Clip2=AVIsource("00003.avi").crop(2,132,-2,-132).converttoyv24().convertbits(16).SuperResXBR(2, Str=1, Soft=0.2, XbrStr=3, XbrSharp=1.5,ConvertYuv=false, fWidth=1920, fHeight=820, PlanarOut=true).trim(440, 1000).KillAudio().ColorYUV(gamma_y=5, off_y=-2, off_u=2, off_v=-4)
V1=AviSource("00001.avi").crop(2,132,-2,-132).converttoYV24().FFT3Dgpu(sigma=1.5, plane=4, bt=4, mode=1, bw=16, bh=16, precision=2, ow=8, oh=8).convertbits(16).SuperResXBR(2, Str=1, Soft=0.2, XbrStr=3, XbrSharp=1.5,ConvertYuv=false, fWidth=1920, fHeight=820, PlanarOut=true)
V2=AviSource("00001.avi").crop(2,132,-2,-132).converttoyv24().convertbits(16).spline64resize(1920, 820)
Clip3=Average(V1,0.50,V2,0.50).trim(1000, 199735).KillAudio().ColorYUV(gamma_y=5, off_y=-2, off_u=2, off_v=-4)
Clip4=AVIsource("paramount-End.avi").converttoyv24().convertbits(16).KillAudio()
Clip5=AviSource("00003.avi").crop(2,132,-2,-132).converttoyv24().convertbits(16).spline64resize(1920, 820).trim(199888, 0).KillAudio()
V=AlignedSplice(Clip1, Clip2, Clip3, Clip4, Clip5)
A=FFMS2("L:\Face - Off\Face - Off EUR\BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts", atrack=1)
AudioDub(V,A)
addborders(0, 130, 0, 130)
convertbits(8, dither=1).converttoYV12()
prefetch(8)

Clip1 and 4 are pre-rendered Paramount Logo's taken from the Braveheart UHD
Clip2 is the US Blu of Face/Off for the 'Paramount Pictures Presents' credit.
The main source is the Russian Blu mentioned earlier.

Working in 16bit (a restriction of the SuperResXBR process or id go 32bit float) 4:4:4 does produce better results than staying in it's native 8bit 4:2:0

Again this is just a WIP but Im fairly happy

My 2c:

I always use

• TFM(d2v="filename.d2v")
  
• ffaudiosource for audio and ffvideosource for video
  

Also use

Code:

ColorMatrix(Source=2, dest=0)

when convert rec.601 to rec.709 - even if sometimes I felt it unnecessary.

Thanks bud
Ill give this a whirl, completely forgot about the REC.609 to REC.709 conversion!
A new version of ColorMatrix seems to handle REC.2020 to REC.709 also.

Does the (d2v="filename.d2v") line in TFM mean it reads the data from the DGDecode process?

I see that is also an option with ColorMatrix
ColorMatrix (d2v="filename.d2v")
But your saying you force it and disregard the data in the .d2v process?

Yep!

Sometimes I feel the colors after conversion "wrong", so I disregard it...

[CSchmidlapp]

When I convert the audio from a PAL DVD I normally use eac3to with the slowdown method for a final render.
When using a AVIsynth script I do it with the Assumefps command

Assumefps(23.976, sync_audio = true)

This needs additional processing also like a conversion to 48000kHz (I get a lower rate when left alone) and pitch to be correct.
What do you recommend to do this in AVIsynth?

EDIT: I know i'm going of topic considering my OP, could this thread be moved into the Complete projects - In progress area and Ill update the OP to reflect this.

[PDB]

I moved it.

Love to see the results CSchmidlapp

[CSchmidlapp]

So Ive rendered both using my GPU Encoder (AMD RX480 8GB) to low bitrate H264 - AAC.
These a purely Work In Progress, and to be honest Ive probably gone way overboard on the 'green'
Not Theatrically accurate by any means, but I do like the look.
I have found during my research and time on FanRes that other 35mm release prints from back in the day do reflect my choices.

PM me for details

I can not get ColorMatrix to work inside Avisynth + 64bit!
Is there a 64bit version available that you know of (searching Google as we speak)?

Well, FFMS2 is actually FFvideosource+FFaudiosource - I'm so used to use almost always FFvideosource only that I forgot it!
