MCTemporalDenoise port?!

Is there ever a chance to get MCTemporalDenoise ported?! Then I could completely switch to a 64-bit VapourSynth environment! :)

Not MCTemporalDenoise, but works for me.

I think SMDegrain is also quite close to MCTD.

What do you need from MCTD? I've ported the denoising stage (only 1-pass) with MDegrain. No pp at all, no deblock. FFT3DFilter doesn't support >8bit so I used dfttest. Code:

To me MCTD is more precise. KNLMeans blurs too much on fades. MCTD have some limiting (which makes it less efficient than SMDegrain, but preserves more details). Does KNLMeans replace MDegrain?

I have not used it, but how about TNLMeans (Groucho 2004)?

I too would love to see MCTD ported, I remember the results to be very comparable to commercial software back when I used it in AVS and would love to see how it stacks up against today's iterations of commercial denoisers. :thanks: If anyone is going to port it, please consider adding frequency separation as discussed .

No, vbm3d is (roughly) the best, if u leave out machine learning based algorithms

I noticed MCTemporalDenoise got ported to VS now. :) Very good to see! Typically, MCTemporalDenoise wasn't very stable, though, and had to run inside at least SetMTMode(3) (on AviSynth, of course). So, how has VapourSynth solved this matter?

VS is simply super stable what comes to multithreading. I don't recall ever causing it to crash unless some plugin itself did that.
