Yep, you get the full quality, no MPEG artefaction (which drives me insane), and best of all you get a chuffing massive 12" shiny disc that looks like something from a 1950s "Home Of Tomorrow" film :)))) > I was just wondering if anyone knew of a digital tool that could take > out such artifacts, or if such a tool is even possible. It's certainly possible to retouch digital video, but to do it automatically is another matter... I have no useful programming or image-processing experience, but I can't imagine it would be terribly difficult to examine the colour/brightness of each pixel in comparison to those around it, and if it's significantly different, then change the colour to the average of those around it.. Massively CPU intensive and there's probably a much more elegant solution, but it's at least a concept to work from :) Whether you could optimise it to run in realtime is another matter, however!
