I recorded both sides of my LaserDisc copy of Bava’s Black Sunday with AmaRecTV in lossless using my IOData GV-USB2 capture device, which has an excellent comb filter. After concatenating the two .avi files with avidemux, I then performed an inverse telecine in Hybrid and the video looks so much better than the raw capture. Still, the source used for the transfer is struck from a dated master which you can see from the screen captures I’ve appended.
There is mild to moderate rainbowing throughout the presentation and I would love to use any of the DeRainbow filters in VapourSynth to eliminate the issue. You’ll see some of it on the left side of the man’s top hat in Screenshot #3, along the long rifle in #4, and along the ultra-thin branches in #6. I wonder which of the five filters would possibly work best?
In Screenshot #s 1 and 2, there appear to be some hairs emanating from the film’s camera gate.
In addition, a cigarette burn pops up along the right side of the shot in #5 to signal a cue change in the reel. Of the three Artifacts filters, would Despot, KillerSpots, or SpotLess be effective in expunging it?
There are general age-related artifacts such as speckles, dirt, and other debris that are occasionally sprinkled throughout the image as you can see in frame grab #s 7 (amongst the clouds) and 8. Should I try mClean, RemoveDirt, or RemoveDirtMC? I don’t want to scrub away too much grain and detail to the extent that I’d deface the image so seeking filter(s) that can perform moderate cleanup.
If I employ any of these filters, what order should I prioritize them in the workflow? When I first started using Hybrid, I remember seeing an itemized list of tasks to be executed for a job, but don’t remember where that was. Which tab, please? I’d like to see the order before clicking on the icon with the workman and his shovel.
Also, would it be best if I first run these filters and then carry out TIVTC later?
My final step will be to resize/upscale from captured resolution of 720x480 to 1280x720 using NNEDI3.
