software to remove censored video

[kulakuala]

i've downloaded a censored file, and i wanna remove it.
any1 knows any file to remove the censored thingy?

[T0TAL-RECALL]

Please explain because that really does not help us help you...

[{I}{K}{E}]

not possible.

[limesqueezer]

Well japans are known for censoring their porn movies, soo they invented DV-9900DX. (it costs)
U can use programs also, such as: WinCopyDVD
U can go movie image by movie image lol and remove it with a image program which exsist.
If u can't remove it u will need to find out what software made this movie censored and than some codecs.

[kulakuala]

limesqueezer, pls explain it in detailed, let me understand it more
wht do u mean go to movie image by movie image? is tht the file in wincopyDVD?
then errr....how many plrograms are there which censores movies? pls state them out for me
one more thing, i think they rip tht file using DivX, so, is it possible to censored it using tht?

i've tried the winCopyDVD but its only used to burn/copy dvd/vcds, im using version 3.5 by the way.
or is thr any chance a player can convert it? thx

[AramiS]

not possible.

not possible? OMG, shure?

[lee551]

yea. if you mean like there is a blurry section or there is a black box over something, that is un-fixable, and permanent. if you took the movie frame by frame and draw in what should be there i guess, but good luck.

[kulakuala]

lol, wht do u mean draw? by my own imagination?

[limesqueezer]

There are sites that sell movies that had censored removed, and u can see some leftovers on some movies. Porn industry has tools for sure as long as they earn some cash. There is nothing on computer u can't do, if u understand how its made of course. But if u don't know how something is made or coded than u have to search for a program that does something exactly as u want it and than u have little chance to find a solution. With right tools u can do anything.
If u knew japanese u could find a solution withouth my help cause i don't know any other nation that has censored all the good parts. ;D
As i don't know how your movie is censored or what kind of movie and i don't have any such movies, u will have to use some of the possibilites i told u.
A hint: G-spot finds the codec required to play an AVI.

[kulakuala]

-edited-
well, the file im playing isn't a avi file, but i can convert it.
so u're saying tht thr's such codec which helps to uncensore a video file?

[muchspl3]

no

Do you think you could tell us how it is censored?

[sirjonathan]

If you mean DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection in WMF files - I haven't found a tool to remove the protection from the file directly, but if you have the license to play the movie for the limited time, you can use tools like WM recorder to grab the video stream into an unprotected file while you are playing the movie. The same tool as you can use to capture the streaming video on the websites, which do not allow the direct download. Hope this helps

[limesqueezer]

No, installing just a codec won't remove anything, G-spot will only tell u which codec u need. With higher resolution and better codec it is possible to restore the original movie. This is just like a windows media protection, just that wmp has protection cause they want to make money and japanese have protection cause they want to hide parts. Since wmp has never been broken cause nobody really knows how it works. Well on that hand if u had an AVI u would have to encode it to VCD. And for example u can't encode WMA into Wav cause u can't play it until u pay for it. Im saying u can play your movie, which i don't even know what file type it is. U now know how this works.

[kulakuala]

well, its actually kinda highly censored. unlike small and a bit clear squares, its actually in big pieces and all u can see is skin colors.
how does highly resolution and better codecs help in uncensoring the movie? sry, im kinda slow in PCs.

[T0TAL-RECALL]

I think you should just forget it and go find some better porn.

[kulakuala]

no way, tht babe is just way toooo hot

[T0TAL-RECALL]

no way, tht babe is just way toooo hot

Then find out who she is and get some of her thats not censored...

[kulakuala]

thr's none of hers which is not censored =(

i don quite underastand....
WM recorder refers to windows media recorder? if so, where do i get this file? i don hav 1 in my PC. errr...how do i grab the video stream into an unprotected file?

[limesqueezer]

DRM has nothing to do with your problem, DRM is a copyright protection and such protected WMA or WMV files can't be played. Once they can be played they arn't DRM protected anymore, thats when u buy em or are a member of a paysite.

[kulakuala]

i've found a programme named windows media format 9.5 SDK. i dn know how to use it, but it has editing applications, can anyone explain how this works to me? thx

i see, thx

[lee551]

give up dood. you're not getting any black bars / fuzzy pieces of video removed. sorry, but you'll have to just find original, uncensored stuff.

[kulakuala]

i've found a solution to this on some other webbie, but still, i don understand it, im new to this stuff, pls help me explain this in a simplier way, and also the softwares it mentioned, tell me where to get them.

have seen this question so many times, I decided to do it myself and write down the steps. I am saving this answer in a notepad file so I can just paste it in over, and over again. Step 1: Put the original clip in track 1A Step 2: Copy the clip and paste it into track 2 Step 3: Create a track matte in Photoshop with the desired shape and size Step 4: Create a Video Track 3 Step 5: Import the matte and put it into track 3 Step 6: Apply the Mosaic effect (in Stylize) to the clip in 1A Step 7: Change the transparency of the clip in track 2 to "Track Matte" Step 8: Apply motion to the matte in track 3 if needed to keep it centered on the subject Step 9: Alt-Scrub to see if you got the motion correct Step 10: Wait a long time for a render Basically, the track matte transparency allows the modified clip in track 1A to show through the unmodified clip in track 2 wherever the matte is black. The hard part is using motion to keep the matte centered on the face or license plate. You will probably need one heck of a lot of keyframes if the subject moves a lot. As for the Photoshop file, when you start a new file, the "New" dialog box asks you to name it, and asks you for an image size. On my system, when I change the "inches" to "pixels" it automatically changes to 720X480. The PAL folks need to use their own frame size. I leave the resolution at 72 and the mode as RGB. The contents needs to be checked as "Transparent". Then just draw a simple circle, square or oval - in black. Nothing else. Don't fill in the rest of the area. You can draw it dead center. It will make it easier to use the motion later. Thanks to SLG (AKA Steven) - 07:40pm Apr 15, 2002

WoW...

Going through all that to remove a black box and replace it with blocky colours at random.

Yep your get the full effect with that.

GIVE IT UP

The only way to get a full clean image so you can see it all under those black boxes is to have the original source before they put the black boxes on it.

Once they convert to DVD or any other format the boxes become hard coded on each frame.. Its not like an extra layer floating over the image its basicley replaced what you would normaly see.

[kulakuala]

no....i think its a extra layer....
well...i played this once, when the movie ended and it goes back to the start, tht time i could see the boxes moved, so, it makes me think tht its a extra layer(when it goes back to the start, it hanged for some time, i think tht's wht made the circles moved, then i try to play it agn, the circles went back to thier places)

[T0TAL-RECALL]

If its a DivX rip from a DVD source it will not be a layer it would be hard coded during conversion... Thats why one guy said if you rip from a DVD source you could possibley get rid of them if they were not part of the movie vob.

[kulakuala]

i see...but mine's a dvd rip, and the censored part did move, so, by any chance, the person censored it after ripping the movie from a dvd source?

wht if its edited after ripping from a dvd source? and also, its an extra layer, then would this make it possible and easy to remove?

[limesqueezer]

What are we talking about, is it a avi, wmv, rm or .... ?

Yes yours may be a DVD but it could be that the DVD was hardcoded aswell rather than having an extra vob for censor material and it that was the case it would come out with the black boxes when ripped.

JUST PLEASE DROP IT AND MOVE ON... Just please get this into your head that you cant remove them and have perfect image underneath because yours is a conversion from original that had the boxes which means those boxes are more like holes in the image.

Its like taking a painting and holding a black box infront of part of it... Ok it can be moved and your left with the full image again but yours is like a hole in the painting so you would have to full this in with your own data.. Ie that tutorial fills it with random pixleated colours as to give an idea of what was there.

[gjdunga]

You didn't really make yourself clear to start off, so some of the people here don't know your asking about removing the "Blurry" censored Bits from a video. (Can you say Bukkake and eels gone wild?? )

[ Well, Some have the idea, but they want to know what kind of media your trying to do this on, and perhaps the title, so that we can see this diva too.. Oh! and what software your trying to use to do this on.. Be detailed, and you'll get a detailed answer ]

So, where was I..

Depending on the video format, The censorship blur could be a simple layer in the file. Almost like audio or subtitling can be a layer in some formats. Some companies sell codecs and tools the remove this layer and allows you to display the content you "Really" wanted to see..

If you've used adobe photoshop and played with layers in macromedia flash, you understand the concept..

Others 'sell' the uncensored versions of the media, outside the country, where they won't get jail time for it..

However for 90% of the videos, aka non layering media your SOL.. The layers were "Flattened"..

This is also true for what sounds like what you've got.. It Appears You "RIPPED" a DVD and now have the copy on your HD.. You may not have pulled all the "SUB CHANNELS" or tracks from the media and therefore not all of the VOB's that could have been stored there.. It could also be that the company who made the media did some clever copy protections and when you ripped it, you copied one of the vob's with blank space, or trash in it.. Macrovision had a interesting whitepaper about that kind of crap..

I Won't go into copy-protection of media here.. While it's possible to place the VOB in a diffrent channel of the media, or in a diffrent track of the media, or even fill a vob with trash data that dosen't "show" while on the real media I'd fail to see how that would help you, unless you had a special player to read that data and it did something with it. Needless to say 99.99% of people with dvd players would be SOL.

So there goes the incentive for companies to put that kind of protection on the media unless they can get paid from using it..

Based on your comments about how the blurr is moving slightly evertime you play the media is a bit odd too.. Perhaps you should explain if your able to see anything under that blurr or post a screenshot or something with more detail..

Hell it could even be a VOB that's playing based on the region your in.. Again, Special software would have to be used, and I'd hate to deal with anything media company that had to press something like that.. That's just way off base. I should probably patent that... ;)


This dosen't mean that if you had a very large and expensive computer with some decent "interpolation" softare that you couldn't remove the blocking or bluring, frame by frame.... but there again, based on your post here your are not working for the NSA, and you probably don't have cash to burn.


This kind of sounds like a lost cause.. We don't know what format your using, or how you got the media, or what your playing it on. Some will tell you it cannot be done, and they may be right.. From what you told us, I don't have any better answers for you..



IF HOWEVER .. You referring to the fact that you can hear the file but not see it, or the entire video looks like it's totaly pixelated..

(Remeber as a teen looking at "skin'amax" trying to catch a few frames of non distored goodness?? )

Then You may have a actual codec issue.. Some places "COPY PROTECT" thier material with special "Key'd" Codecs.. Those can be downloaded when you create your subscription, or various other non legal means.


Ok.. Well I have to write a letter to my granmother about skim milk and fish sauce, so I hope we've cleared that out for ya..

[kulakuala]

sorry for being not clear, well, i'll repost the thingy
i've used zoom player, vlc media player, windows media player, real player to play it, its as the same in all of the players

the file im trying to player is a pornclip by maria takagi, i have a few files of hers, all of them are censored in the same method( which is from wht i see).

What Kind of file? >AVI< >MPG< >FLA< >VOB< >WMF< What?

[kulakuala]

its an avi file, some are mpg, but most are avi

[gjdunga]

Unless they are packed with MVK or some weird compression, You my friend are SOL.... Sorry Avi and standard MPG formats don't really allow for "Layers" , as far as i know... If anyone else has see a AVI Format that is layered, I'll buy them dinner..

GD

[kulakuala]

so...no any other way of solving this prob?
btw, wht's SOL?

[Chewie]

Shit Outta Luck

[Zenobios]

Well if he had a .MVK file how would he remove this censored "layer" from the movie?

[anon]

Bump day today... last post was made on 2006 :P

[tesco]

Well if he had a .MVK file how would he remove this censored "layer" from the movie?
I don't think it's possible.
At the time of that post (2006) the MKV video container was still very new, Zenobios probably just used it as an example not knowing much about it.

I can guarantee you that if it's even possible, no file provided by a porn company or any scene release would include it. That would be a large waste of bandwith for a feature that few know about and fewer would even have any use for.
