Just save the raw frame directly out of AvsP or your GUI of choice as a png.
What you just did is compare how whatever encoder handles spline36 vs spline64, not the actual sharpness.

Well, yeah. That's the point. I did the resize from 720x480 to 1280x720, then used the x264 codec to encode the clip @ 5000kbps. x264 is what I'm always going to use so this particular comparison I actually made for myself. I want to see how differently each one works with the codec. What's the point of testing it without the effect that the codec you're going to use has? You might get the exact opposite results in terms of what's better/worse..
