MUSE Hi-Vision LD movie sample: Jurassic Park

[spoRv]

The MUSE players, like any DVD player, use a red laser, instead of the infrared one used on normal PAL and NTSC players; hence, it can read better some disc with mild laserrot, and squeeze a bit more resolution from a well mastered disc.

Have you noted the tridimensionality of the video, or it's just my plasma display that shows it?

Also tried to download the sample to get nothing. I'll try your link zoidberg. I found this disc while scouting the internet, 115 pounds from Japan.
Now only to get together the other 3000 for the player LOL

[spoRv]

Do not fotget the MUSE decoder, though...

I'll keep the MUSE link up for the foreseeable. Perhaps someone would like to IVTC/Decimate it?

Well, I tried my hands upon it and, personally, I don't like the results. Long story short, I used AviSynth to decimate it and, well, for some reason beyond me, my attempts results in a 18 FPS interlaced video! No joke! So naturally, I tried my best to restore the original FPS of the sample. For the curious, here's the code:

Code:

Cores=4
SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3, Cores)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\svpflow1.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\svpflow2.dll")
Import("D:\InterFrame-2.8.2\InterFrame-2.8.2\InterFrame2.avsi")
DirectShowSource("D:\JPmuse.mkv", fps=30.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(30,1)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
ConvertToYUY2()
TDecimate(cycleR=2) # returns 18 fps video
crop(34, 82, -28, -46)
LeakKernelDeint(1) # for improved vertical resolution
ConvertToYV12()
SetMTMode(2)
InterFrame(Cores=Cores, NewNum=30, NewDen=1, Tuning="Smooth", GPU=true)
ConvertToYUY2()

Here's the result of the code: JPmuse (Emils code v1)
I think the code needs improvement somewhere, I just don't know where. But at least I wrote a second code that just uses LeakKernelDeint to deinterlace and in my opinion, I like that code better after seeing the results of the code above. Try it out if you'd like:

Code:

DirectShowSource("D:\JPmuse.mkv", fps=30.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(30,1)
ConvertToYUY2()
LeakKernelDeint(1) # for improved vertical resolution
crop(34, 82, -28, -46)

I still have a Muse player and decoder, but the only MUSE disc I have is a league of their own.

[Avatar_Emil]

Never mind, I think I found a solution already:

Code:

DirectShowSource("D:\JPmuse.mkv", fps=30.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(30,1)
ConvertToYUY2()
PFR()
crop(34, 82, -28, -46)

[jerryshadoe]

Wouldn't the frame rate there be 29.970 and NOT 30??

[spoRv]

Should be:

Assumefps(30000,1001)

[Avatar_Emil]

Should be:

Assumefps(30000,1001)

Gotcha, posting corrected code now:

Code:

DirectShowSource("D:\JPmuse.mkv", fps=30.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).Assumefps(30000,1001)
ConvertToYUY2()
PFR()
crop(34, 82, -28, -46)
