Phase 3 - Detailed processing

Image
This is where we start processing our video materials with AviSynth. I strongly suggest to everyone who wants to get more into the matter to check out this link: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=161493 . This is where you can find more detailed information on video restoration. What I am about to show you is a simplified version, and I will not theorize much. I will try to be more practical and show you through examples what I did and how I did it. Since AviSynth doesn't have a GUI (graphical user interface), I will instruct it what to do through scripts, using the AvsPmod text processor. We will see the effects of our scripts in VirtualDub. As AviSynth is oriented on processing AVI files, and my materials are in MPEG format, I will have to make some extra effort to produce videos that are usable for my plan. There are two reasons why I'm not using the AVI format. First of all, I chose not to get a telecine to copy the videos myself, frame by frame, to produce AV

Mpg2Cut2 - clipping the mpeg files

Rescuing healthy VOB files from an unreadable DVD with Mpg2Cut2 When I talked about transferring videos I mentioned that I will explain how to "rescue" healthy parts of an unreadable DVD. If you haven't converted those readable files using VOB2MPG by skipping the unreadable chapters (files) and converting the rest, then you can now convert the entire DVD. In my specific case I'm trying to fix a professional wedding shoot, which was multiplied and distributed rather unprofessionally. I will rescue whatever can be rescued and I will not clip any of the materials. Whatever was lost I will try to replace it by looking for that particular chapter on someone else's copy of that same wedding video. Using Mpg2Cut2 we can process VOB and MPEG files. Considering I'm processing all video clips in MPEG2 format all I wanted to do in this case was to load all healthy VOB files and convert them as MPEG2, and rescuing parts of the damaged VOB files. This is quite a s

Phase 2 - Identifying and clipping

Image
Let's first remember our previous post. If you get a message like the one on this picture that blocked your transfer, it means that one of the VOB files are damaged. We will convert the files that were not corrupted with the same application that we use for clipping, so that we can watch or archive the files. I will explain later how to rescue the files and parts of the DVD that were not damaged. I achieved my basic goal. I emptied my closet without big investment in a relatively easy way. 😰 Phase 2 - Identifying and clipping I have decided to make a "Time capsule" 😊 I copied all the raw materials to an external USB HDD . I used a normal computer hard disk which I was not using anymore and connected it to my computer using a USB to IDE&SATA adapter. I put these links here so you can see what I'm talking about in case you're not familiar with the subject, and this way you can also see how much money was invested in this whole process ðŸ˜Š
