Uploaded my version. For some reason the ftp connection breaks after 40-60mb. So I uploaded a txt with a dropbox link.
Out of laziness I just used: x264 --preset slower --crf 16 --tune animation.
I used some stabilization, but I wouldn't recommend it. It helps with some scenes, but overall it takes too much encoding time. It went from near real-time encoding speed to about 3fps. Quality wise there is not much difference.

Strange, must be on your side because it doesn't happen to me and I have had users upload 30GB a couple times (telescope data, OK?).

It's the script that is important.

Yeah, that's way too slow to be practical. Nevertheless, I didn't make any speed constraints, so I'll submit it as is and if your script wins I'll remove the stabilization.
I'll post this challenge over at Doom9 also, as we have only three entries so far. Sorry,
Sherman!

I used fireftp and now tried it with cyberduck again, but it's more or less the same. The progressbar jumps to 100% in like a second and then after some seconds it aborts...
What's telescope data?

Data collected during telescopic observations.
BTW, I use FileZilla.

chaoscoder's restoration looks really good but the whites are just about gone. Hope chaoscoder can look into the white balance and then we would have a real winner. Bright and vibrant, just like Bullwinkle!

One problem is that some scenes look good while others need stronger settings, so finding a balance is not easy, but I think it's better overall. I tried to stay more on the conservative side and not overdo it. You can get a stronger effect if you remove overlay()
AutoAdjust is the only filter which does not uglify blends and fades.
I added this at the bottom of my script.
Code: Select all
core.avs.LoadPlugin(path=r'C:\AutoAdjust.dll')
core.avs.LoadPlugin(path=r'C:\DGDecodeNV.dll')
clip = core.avs.DGDenoise(clip, strength=0.04, blend=0.7) # remove some "dust" for a slightly cleaner look
adjust = clip.avs.AutoAdjust(
auto_gain=True,
high_quality = True,
#gamma_limit=1.15, gain_mode=0,
dark_limit = 1.14, bright_limit = 1.13,
avg_safety = 0.7,
auto_balance = True,
balance_str = 0.12,
temporal_radius = 22)
clip = haf.Overlay(clip, adjust, opacity=0.76)
Test enc with same settings as before
