Of course if you have great bandwidth and are in a more developed part of the world, you may well get HD anyway at full screen. Here in Thailand we were getting 480p at full screen until checking that box. By the way the link you gave me was for a YouTube video to fill the browser, not the screen.

I take your point about 2 x NNEDI3. Aren't lossless/sourcematch/sharpening going to be rather wasted in QTGMC because that detail would be somewhat lost in the subsequent upscale from 720x576 to 984x720? I thought I should be doing sharpening after upscaling?

Since footage is mostly underwater I think it would benefit from the dither tools in order to help soothe quantization banding, and upload an already h.264 encoded file rather than lossless file, although I doubt you did this. By some reason at low quality encodes it seems to retain more quality a h.264HQ->h.264LQ than lossless->h.264LQ.

Actually I did upload a crf18 x264 file (I put the upscaled UT-video clip back on my timeline to add the text, then rendered out in MeGUI). What dither tools do you mean?
