Hi, I want to encode a anime from dvd to mkv, but when i try to get the same quality of the source, because i want to preview the final quality of the encode, i never get the same color and details of the source...
Like you can see on the images:

After encode:

On the avisynth i only use the:
MPEG2Source("video.d2v",cpu=0,info=3)
Colormatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true)

The x264 preset that i use is: --level 4.1 --preset placebo --tune animation --crf 16.0 --deblock -1:-1 --bframes 8 --ref 12 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 17500 --rc-lookahead 80 --aq-strength 1.0 --merange 32 --subme 10 --psy-rd 1.00:0 --no-dct-decimate

Here's the sample: http://www.mediafire.com/?dary97as2yeo913

So if someone can see what is happening or make some solution, i will be thankfull ^^.

Initially I thought it was something to do with colormatrix but after looking at your d2v file and then indexing the m2v sample myself, my d2v file appeared to be no different to yours in terms of colorimetry, and I couldn't replicate your problem. With or without the colorimetry line in your script it'd appear the same as the original video and your first screenshot. I even tried converting the colorimetry manually but if the colors in your second screenshot are accurate I couldn't reproduce the same color change that way.

You could try removing the colormatrix line to see if it makes any difference, but to me it seems like something is effecting the brightness/contrast of the encode rather than it being a colorimetry (colormatrix) problem. How are you previewing the encode or viewing the encode once it's done? There's no chance your player or video card might be effecting the colors of the encode on playback but not when playing the DVD?

Sorry I've not really been of much help, but I can't see anything in your script etc which should be effecting the colors the way your screenshots indicate.
