Digital Betacam dropout - Miranda - 21.08.2025

Any ideas if it's possible to remove DigiBeta dropout from a tape capture?

Using Vapoursynth, try SpotLess with tr=3 and enable Mirror Start&End.

RE: Digital Betacam dropout - Miranda - 21.08.2025

Sadly no luck with that. I'l try a longer clip tomorrow with good frames at both ends.

Edit - tried this and still no luck Sad


RE: Digital Betacam dropout - Selur - 21.08.2025

Send me a link to a longer sample and I can try more stuff, with 5 frames (multiple broken) there is not much to do with temporal filtering.

Thanks - sample clip


RE: Digital Betacam dropout - Selur - 21.08.2025

Argh, frames 5-12 are broken, sadly using SpotLess with tr=8 seems to be as good as it gets.
(it's way better than the input, but still visibly broken)
