Eliminating noise in video

Noise in video, manifested as "snow", refers to random dots and patterns that appear like static on the screen.

Noise is typically present in old movies and videos recorded under poor lighting conditions. Digitized and over-enhanced videos may also carry a lot of noise.

In WinDVD, you can easily eliminate or significantly reduce noise by using the De-snow filter. You can apply De-snow filter to MPEG 2, VC1, and H.264 videos.

To eliminate noise in video:

1. Open WinDVD 9 and start playing your video.

2. Click Video and select Enhancement to open the Enhance Video Panel. In the Enhancement tab, you can select the filters to apply.

Note: If the video enhancement filters are not enabled, click Setup to open the Setup dialog box. In the Audio/Video Setup tab, make sure that Use Hardware Decode Acceleration is not selected. This allows WinDVD to bypass the hardware-based noise filtering technology provided by your video card.

3. To remove noise from your video, select De-snow.

Below are screenshots of a video before and after the De-snow filter is applied.
