People often say some settings are better (e.g. 10-bit is better than 8-bit), but if tested in a double-blind way, sometimes (often?) they can't tell which is which Anyway the most powerful technique to make old shows look nicer, is not encoder settings, nor filter settings, but may be manual, frame-by-frame restoring/retouching to remove random dirt. |

It has been a while since I used Xvid but even that old anime is better with film mode, cartoon is really for Simpson's etc.

@Asmodian
If you guys (encoding gurus) say so, I assume that is probably true. I still sometimes use old-fashioned xvid.avi as an internal working file for e.g. typesetting, typically a quick 1-pass, q=3. Since it's a temporary file just to check frame timing, and not related to the final format e.g. x264.mkv, I'm not trying to use the best possible settings for xvid. However, if I ever create xvid.avi, xvid.mkv, etc. as the final format, I take your advice seriously and do some blind tests. Thanks! |
