vhs-bordercontrol, telecide() and (ml)degrain in vapoursynth

[Selur]

if you remember, i installed python and vapour in addition to hybrid (to be able to load .vpy to vdub2), dunno if that could cause any weird interactions(?).

Yes, that can break everything.

i attached the dubug. kinda big, forgot to turn it off few months ago...

I deleted everything before '2024.05.19'.

You are using stuff that exists in your global installation, but does not in the portable installation.
That is why 'pspipe --info "Path to script"' fails and thus Hybrid can't analyse the file.

par, dar, and then the --sar option in x264!

sar option in x264 is what is called PAR in Hybrid.

that would be 64:40 (64/40=1.6), ie we'll input --sar 64:40 to x264 via hybrid's 'misc' tab of "crop/resize" dialog, the "overwrite input par" section.

setting the input par in "Crop/Resize->Base->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Input PAR" is the usual approach, "Crop/Resize->Misc->Overwrite input PAR" is the way to go if you have multiple files which have no flags,...
