You are not describing what you are doing,.... What missing file?

RE: Capture from 1970s Umatic tape problem - Miranda - 17.07.2026

C:/Program Files/Hybrid/64bit/vsfilters/Support/std.dll

Sorry, threads got mixed up.

RE: Capture from 1970s Umatic tape problem - Selur - 17.07.2026

That is not a dll that should exist.

I tried running the same filter settings you posted but I'm not getting the same result.

I could not figure out how to run LGhost in Mask mode? Could this be the problem?

RE: Capture from 1970s Umatic tape problem - Selur - 19.07.2026

Just looked at the script and I thought about using a mask, but did not.
Looking at the script, I used:
1. QTGMC
2. Crop
3. CAS
4. LGhost (with three entried)
5. Dehalo_alpha
6. 3xYAHR
7. MCTemporalDenoise(clip, settings="very high")

Did you compare your script (Vapoursynth Script View) against the script I posted?

enable "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->UI->Show 'Masked'-controls" to have mask setting next to the filters.

Here's the script I used and the ghosting has not been removed.

I used YAHR only once, how do I add it three times?

I increase 'Count'

You used:
  • QTGMC
  • ColorMatrix
  • Tweak
  • SmoothLevels
  • 3xDeSpot
  • RemoveSpotsMCX
  • MCTemporalDenoise
  • LGhost
You are using different filters and a different order,... => not surprised you get different results.
Maybe first, reproduce my script than adjust it,....

Same tape, towards the end is a some tape drop-out along the bottom. I've tried the various de-spotting filters with little success. Any suggestions?

SpotLess with tr=3 seems to work fine here,...
