HIGH QUALITY TPU DVD Video Released from Jack Durban

[EMdevices]

Hi OzOnE,Ã,  thanks for the tips, and welcome.Ã,  I've been playing with VirtualDub as well, and with Adobe Premiere, and Ulead and a few others, trying to extract and clean up fine details on individual frames.Ã,   (my old Premiere version gave me some problems, VirtualDub does not load VOB's so I had to go the route of VOB2mpeg,Ã,  then downloaded a trial version of Ulead and that did the trick, I was able to trim and make a nice DVD with meanus)

I just want to comment on the videos,Ã,   we actually need INTERLACED video, not deinterlaced, because interlaced video contains more information and it's fields are not blured together when motion occurs.Ã,  There is a lot of motion and camera shake in some of those closeup shots, and for fine detail analysis, interlaced fields is the way to go (after you deinterlace them into separate fields and resize, creating 2 frames from one)Ã,  By the way, the video that Jack has provided is already deinterlaced, so no point in making another deinterlaced video.Ã,  Ã,

This is all fine and dandy, but without some sort of arrangment that "runs with gain", all of this doesn't matter.  Even if you are handed schematics, parts lists, and a working device - you will not know "why" it works.

The TPU's in the video(s) are the result of several design iterations based on an effect that is still unknown to you. 

Until you discover this "effect", you're just wasting your time.

If I'm handed a schematic,Ã,  I can duplicate it and have a unit runing.

If I'm given a running unit,Ã,  I have it.

Once I have a running unit, (either built or given to me)Ã,  I can then proceeed to understand how it works.

Once I understand how it works, I can scale up or down and modify or simplify.

But we have neither, but can deduce most of the schematic from the videos... and with some retoric from SM we might just be able to piece this mystery together.

Is it realy an "effect" ?Ã,  Some exotic "comp" field, or special material properties?,Ã,  or is it using well known electromagnetic principles to extract energy from the earth magnetic field?

should we just keep going, i think so, is there things out there, that we don't fully understand, will we find that little clue from all the experimentation, we might actually walk right past it, I have hope that there is still much more to discover.....and that we spot the clues.

Like we could ask is there more to life than just what we know already, imagine the new discovery, of the new millennium, energy in abundance, to change the world forever....fear has alot to do with inhibiting progress.

Welcome to the forum and I and I am sure other appreciate that you have taken time to acquaint yourself with the many threads before posting.

I have to go to the office but before, I downloaded avisynth and VirtualDubMod. I installed avisynth then unzipped and opened VirtualDub (I put a shortcut on the desktop) then, then loaded the processing settings and tried to open SM TPU avs file. I am getting an error as follows;

Avisynth open failure:
Avisynth open failure: MPEG2Source: Could not open one of the input files,
SM TPU.avs, line 2
SM TPU--default2.avs, line 2

Do you know why.

Before I installed this, I should have asked you if you compared the image clarity between VirtualDubMod (VDM) program and my regular Windows Media Classic that I use to open VOB files. WMC has the advance by frame button active but the previous frame button is not activated. Don't know why so you have to pan back manually and start over and over again. If VDM is really much clearer then it is worth me trying to get it to work when I return home later this evening. I did not download from the torrent.

But from what @EM says, there is no point trying to make a better clarity with a de-interlaced file. So maybe another program will not do the trick.

As for seeing the center of the TPU, I remember seeing that also but I mainly understood this to be electrical tape in the center. I could be wrong. I cannot remember which "single" frame showed this but if you can grab an image, please do and post it here.

Thanks for answering @Grumpy. lol
