@Tom
I'm waiting for the attachment to get approved, I'm really anxious to test the new matrix of yours.
The previous one gave me very visible edge artifacts in a test encode on Natural Born Killers using quant2[edited]
.
(Btw, for some extreme cases, that is for some "mission impossible" encodes when aimed for 1CD
, I have been getting really good results with DctFilter using some aggressive settings together with a combo of FluxSmooth/BilinearResize/cpu=6 (with Marc's mpeg2dec3.dll) in order to get rid of edge artifacts. Of course the result is really smooth, but it's at least free from blockiness and other artifacts, and for the time being this method seems to be the only solution for me when it comes to some movies that are otherwise "virtually impossible" to put on 1CD, such as Natural Born Killers
.)
thanks for all your effort,
best regards,
iago
edit - but I must admit that I used b-frames as well
