MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool 0.74
Free program for video quality measurements. Supports different input formats (AVI, AVS, YUV, BMP) and metrics (PSNR, Delta, VQM, SSIM, MSU Blurring / Blocking, MSE, MSAD). Main features: results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere), all metrics are visualized, comparative analysis (comparison of three files: original, and two other, for example processed by different codecs). Program allow to answer on questions: 1) One codec has more blurring than another. On what frames? Average mark? 2) One codec has more blocking than another. On what frames? Average mark? 3) One codec has more lower quality than another. On what frames? Average mark in PSNR, VQM, SSIM? Correspondent "bad frames" are saved automatically into BMP files.
MSU Lossless Video Codec 0.5.8
Free high quality lossless video codec. This codec is intended for lossless video compression (used for saving master copies or intermediate rendering results). It has the best compression ration among free lossless video codecs. Supports RGB, YUY2 and YV12. Allows to set up speed/compression ratio compromise by choosing appropriate motion compensation algorithm. Allows to set up loss/compression ratio compromises. Performs accurate denoisng in temporal and spatial domains during lossy compression. Denoising offten improves quality of video.
Video MSU Old Cinema 1.7 VirtualDub plugin 1.7
Free video effect of old cinema plugin for VirtualDub. Make you video like CHRONICLE (several effects: noise, color, speck of dust, FPS changing and etc)! Easy to use.
MSU Deflicker VirtualDub plugin 1.3
Free high-quality video deflicker plugin for VirtualDub with change ground detection. Allows flexible change level of effect. Easy to use.The filter is designed for flicker video stream processing or video preprocessing.
MSU Denoising VirtualDub Video plugin 1.6.2
Free high-quality video denoiser plugin for VirtualDub. Easy to use. The filter is designed for noisy video stream processing, video quality improvement, or video preprocessing, e.g. for preprocessing before compression or deinterlacing. Allows flexible denoising level setup in temporal and spatial dimensions. The filter suppresses noise in both spatial and temporal domains. For each type of denoising different properties could be set in the propery box. With specific combinations, spatial-only or temporal-only denoising could be enabled.
MSU Field Shift Fixer AviSynth plugin 0.5
Free AviSynth filter for fixing relational temporal field shift. This shift may appears during video film capturing and PAL->NTSC convertion. The filter automaticaly detects field shift. Also scene replacement and two merged sequences (from different parts of film) are proceeded correctly.
MSU Smart Sharpen for VirtualDub Video plugin 1.4
Free video smart sharpen plugin for VirtualDub. Allows increase video contrast and sharpen with details preservation.
Video MSU Deblocking VirtualDub plugin 2.2
Filter is intended for recovering quality of video ripped from DVD (for exmaple, when it contains 4 hours of video data), VideoCD or after decompressing by H.261, H.263, DivX 3, DivX 4, XviD. Filter automatically determines the blockiness`s strength on the frame and in the concrete part of it, preserving the maximum of details. Thus, filter will process marginally when on scenes with slow motion, while it will smooth very hard in the case of fast motion in the same film. The main advantige of the filter is that it raise the integral quality in the most widespread PSNR metric in comparison with original film. That is, a film after decompression in comparison with original achieves the lower quality than a film after decompression and deblocking. (But for all that the original film is not used nowise, only decompressed data is used.)
MSU Smart Brightness & Contrast 1.0
Free high-quality brightness & contrast professional plugin for VirtualDub. Allows flexible manual setup and auto mode. Easy to use. Filter is designed for low-contrast video stream processing, video quality improvement.
MSU Perceptual Video Quality Tool 0.9
Freely available tool for near professional visual comparison tests execution. Tool implements blind testing schema - experts don`t know, which codec is used for particular video. You can make two types of subjective video video comparisons and apply different ways of analysis of expert`s opinion, including estimation of expert`s reliability. You can test several codecs (filters) simultaneously, it will produce more qualitative comparison. Metric software contains two programs: * Task manager (planner and statistics calculation tool) * Player - tool for experts, that plays test sequences: * with 3 seconds rewind (if allowed in task) * with pause (if allowed in task) * showing one pair several times (for expert stability evaluation) * with final mark Tool supports .avi and .avs (AviSynth) files. More options are available in tool documentation.
MSU SmartDeblocking VirtualDub plugin 0.1
Filter is intended for recovering quality of video ripped from DVD (for exmaple, when it contains 4 hours of video data), VideoCD or after decompressing by H.261, H.263, DivX 3, DivX 4, XviD. Filter automatically determines the blockiness`s strength on the frame and in the concrete part of it, preserving the maximum of details. You have only to accept one of predefined presets. Thus, filter will process marginally when on scenes with slow motion, while it will smooth very hard in the case of fast motion in the same film. The main advantage of the filter is that it provides the boost of integral quality in the most widespread PSNR metric in comparison with the original film. That is, a film after decompression in comparison with original achieves the lower quality than a film after decompression and deblocking. (But for all that the original film is not used nowise, only decompressed data is used.)
