Encoding NGE the Remastered Platinum Edition

Using both PP and clip2 parameters of TFM doesn't make sense. You can remove PP.

A few issues: combing still present, over-denoised (reveals banding), bad aspect ratio. Could you upload a smaller m2v with a lot of motion? It will be easier to know which type of IVTC/deinterlacing is needed. You can do some small denoise with dfttest to remove the annoying noise and keep the good gradient grain and then stabilize it to transform it into some dithering that will be kept by x264 Code:

Over denoising meaning I should get rid of removegrain and LSF? I did resize the original down to 640x480, and I'll crop it on the next time also. I use AutoMKV to encode the whole thing. So would my edited script read something like this: Code:

Hey. I'll post the m2v when I get back. I'm leaving right now to go to Darlington and watch the race on Saturday. I'll post back either Sunday or Monday.

Back. Here's the file: Sorry that it's 20mb again, but I felt it had a lot going in those short 30 seconds.

I think the denoising + sharpening stage is quite well covered in my previous post and I'll post later about the color correction (when I'll have the time to compare some settings). Regarding IVTC, you may want to follow thread as your source fits in the "proper hard telecine" category. I'd recommend the same thing as I did to Nealhon : use telecide() decimate() and read more about hard telecined sources (and the decomb documentation) to find something to remove the residual combing.

that sounds like a groundless argument. remember that your encoder is much more pivotal than your filters. are you familiar with x264 settings that don't have little checkboxes?

So the mildly insulting comment was of high humor? Anyway, now regarding MeGUI, how would I go about encoding dual-audio, because in AutoMKV, there was an option to add a second audio track. Would I simply insert the first audio track, make sure that it retains the original 5.1 audio, click "enqueue" and then load and que the second audio track?

encode the video and the audio separately then mux with mkvtoolnix. you can add as many audio tracks as you want. you could even throw in some styled subtitles. :) I'm sorry you found that offensive, but I certainly needed comments like that when I started (to show me that ruling out anything because I didn't understand it was not getting me anywhere). I had to accept that I am a perfectionist (as much as that is possible when you're degrading quality by compressing video). At some point you're just going to have to learn your codec more intimately than you would like. Same goes for scripting of course! ;) ...and obviously I still have a lot to learn, too.

Thnx. Constructive criticism is needed.
