I was thinking, encoder side, reduce deblocking so that it doesn't get too blurry on high quantizer, while selectively keeping high frequency bands for the illusion of a noisy source? (Blurring & blocking are far more noticeable than ringing at times like that, after all.) Without changing the encoder, I don't really know what to do even if I singled the frames out in a zone.
qcomp will already generally lower the bitrate of complex grainy sections like that.
