    Need a program to help increase quality

    Is there a program that can increase the quality of an mpeg2 file. Something like PowerDVD CLEV. In the picture I attached the CLEV is on the right. But with PowerDVD it only works when playing the file I need something so that I can save the mpeg2 to make it look like the right side. Hope I explained it clearly enough.

    Regards

    two methods come to mind:

    1. if CLEV is (exactly) what you're after guess you could try avisynth directshowsource() and try to get cyberlink's decoder in there. you would ofcourse need to re-encode, DVD Rebuilder or just HCEnc should be able to take care of that.

    2. avisynth functions tweak, levels and RGBAdjust. using those three you should be able to get something roughly similar to the right half. again, the video will need to be re-encoded

    Based on an entirely new algorithm developed by CyberLink, the second generation of CyberLink's world-renowned video enhancing technology, CyberLink EagleVision, makes images brighter and colors more natural.

    CLEV-2 intelligently adjusts a scene's chroma and luminance to enhance image detail. By adapting across movie scenes to deliver superb colors and improved detail CLEV-2 ensures the best possible results for LCD and CRT monitors. CLEV-2 augments a user’s viewing experience and is especially suited for playback of overly dark or bright DVD movies.

      In other words, it takes what the director wanted you to see and throws that out the window, substituting its own colours in return.

      Cyberlink knows best.

      What a loada bullsh1t!!! I never have any of that crap on when using PowerDVD.

        Ok one more question is there something to removed the noise like sound. I recorded it from a vhs tape so the vhs has a little background noise on it.

              projectX or tmpgenc's mpeg tools

              And can ffdshow do similar stuff and if so how do i use it?
              ffdshow has functions that may be useful but it's really meant for post processing. guess you could set it up the way you like and feed through behappy or graphedit. audacity is the better option in your case

                      no.

                      but if you have basic knowledge of how avisynth works you should be able to figure it out. hint: set ffdshow to decode raw video in codec config (or set to mpeg2) and play around with post processing, sharpening, blur & nr, etc. then

                      Code:
                      directshowsource("C:\path\file.mpg")
                      IMHO much better off sticking with avisynth plugins/functions though

                      http://www.avisynth.org has plenty of documentation
