hddvd rip shold i use filter?

[siella]

I think source of Hdvd has enuogh quality to rip with out using filter. But I wonder if what do you think about ?
I try some filter limitedsharpen and seesaw but Resault is not god. just i add sharpen, unfilter and FluxSmooth

And i want to add second audio to mkv files, which program or filter does propose?

What filters you need/want to use depends on what you want to do to the picture. With a good source like HD DVD you probably don't need to do much if anything at all. Perhaps light deblocking and maybe grain removal. I haven't done any high definition encodes to give you much advice.

For your second question I suggest mkvmerge(GUI). It's part of the MKVToolnix package (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/).

Yeah, you can't really make a generalization like that :)

I'm sure some HD-DVDs are just as bad as some DVDs (which can be really terrible, especially if they're poor quality transfers from older films).

I really like the sharpening that fft3dfilter / fft3dgpu can provide. It's very subtle, but very pleasing.

As far as de-noising, that's again VERY source dependent. The fact that fft3dfilter / fft3dgpu can de-noise and sharpen at the same time really makes it one of my favorites. Maybe RemoveGrain at light settings.. Who knows.

It's source dependent is the total message I'm trying to get across :)

I havent seen any bad hd dvd yet. So I think we can nearly generalize :) I will try fft3dfilter / fft3dgpu. I made alot of test. But I can tell sharpen is not for hd dvd. Just need remove grain and remove noise a little sharpen that has avisyth

I haven't really encountered the need to do anything except degrain, and once I had to sharpen. I don't have every movie available though. Yet.

Most of the movie transfers so far are pretty good. The first HD DVD anime available in my region is almost released, and we'll see if those great transfers hold true for a genre that's been mostly mangled for it's entire history. ;)

You'll probably need a light denoiser and a sharpener (for some reason, even on the HD sources, you need some kind of sharpening even if it is very light).

At least thats the way I see it.
