It has been almost 2 years since I was encoding video and I'm trying to make a backup of an anime. I have spent a good amount of time scouring the forums for info and I'm getting awful results. So I'm looking for any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong. My goal is to create a high quality x264 encode of an anime with vfr and I'm trying to fit it to a 175MB(or 233MB) file size.
What I'm using: MeGui 0.3.0.1020, AviSynth 2.57, x264 (928 Jarod's patched build), DGIndex 1.5.0.0, nnedi 1.3.0.0, TIVTC 1.0.5.0, TDeint 1.1.0.0, TFM 1.0.4, MKVMerge 2.2.0
......1st Pass:
AviSynth
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\Apps\Encoding Tools\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\TIVTC.dll")
d2vpath = "C:\DVD\Working\test01.d2v"
DGDecode_mpeg2source(d2vpath,info=3)
tfm(d2v=d2vpath,output="c:\DVD\Working\test01-tfm.txt")
tdecimate(mode=4,output="c:\DVD\Working\test01-tdec.txt")
crop( 8, 8, -8, 0)
nnedi(field=1,dh=true).TurnRight().nnedi(field=1,dh=true).TurnLeft()
Lanczos4Resize(640,352)
x264
Code:
program --pass 1 --bitrate 905 --stats "C:\DVD\Working\test01.stats" --bframes 5 --b-pyramid --direct auto --filter 1,1 --subme 1 --partitions none --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-dct-decimate --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL "input" --psy-rd 0
