Need Help Remastering Dvds (Restoring audio and video)
 

ok I have some dvd sets that look and sound like junk
I want to remaster them
here is what I want to do
1 remove all video and audio flaws
2 improve video and audio of the video in question
3 burn the remastered video on to a dvd so it can be watched on my dvd player
what do I need to do this

It would depend on how bad your source is. Depending on the source, some things may be unfixable. Your never going to be ableto remove ALL the flaws of a bad quality video, but you certainly can make it better then the source, in most cases. Lordsmurf knows much more then me, so if he responds to this post, you'll be good to go.

can you ask him to repli lol

I always read the forum. ;)

All video and audio errors are different, I'd have to see samples to create a plan of attack.

say tracking lines and color issues

Done remastering many many times. It helps that I'm a professional sound engineer. It can be very tedious but well worth it in the end. LS is right, need to see it first.

Audacity can fix some audio problems.

Say if there is a hissing problem. You can try to isolate that hiss with noise remover.
Get a noise profile (select a portion of the audio where only the hiss is heard), then remove noise.

I know avisynth improves picture quality. Its pretty complicated. I think you need multiple programs. There are tutorials online.

Get ready to spend a lot of time on just one episode.

Good Luck!

LS, did you get my PM from several months back?

Wayshway and LS are the experts here on restoring, it all depends on how long you want to spend on cleaning it up with the NLE you got and what problems you got. I would personally recommend getting adobe master collection CS6 and download Da vinci resolve lite. adobe audition is brilliant at doing precise cutting of audio, clear hisses, background noise, etc.

Where Da vinci resove is good for colour grading, I find it a lot easier and more better to use then speedgrade. I'm still a newbie when it comes to grading, but it takes years and a lot of hours to get it up to a professional level. Da vinci resolve lite also do 4k, as well as HD and SD sources. it's a free program and their is loads of tutorials on youtube to help use it, I fell in love with the program when I met phillip bloom and saw him use the program.

thank you to all of you

odd problem HELP NEEDED
when I click download for DaVinci Resolve 12.5.1
the form you have to fill out comes up HUGE it will not let me scroll down to the submit button to start the download has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this

I use Pro Tools, Sony Vegas or Reaper for audio. TMPGne Masterworks 5 is great for stripping the audio from video and has some really good user friendly tools for cleaning up video. I have some pretty good plugins as well that I use with any of those software programs.

Used correctly, a good compression plugin will work great in some cases for tape hiss. It compresses that hiss nice and tight and buries it in the audio so it's less noticeable.

You need to be careful removing hiss with other tools. Too much can make you lose clarity and also create a flange like slurring sound. Kind of like and old cassette that would go out of phase or a really low bitrate mp3.
Sometimes you just have to find a happy medium and just deal with a little hiss.

what I REALLY need is a really good way to improve the video not just the sound
what I am trying to do is IMPROVE the werewolf tv series dvds I bought off ebay
