I suppose this is a FAQ question, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Probably I'm searching wrong.
Anyway, here it is, and please bear with me.
I have a badly trascoded 4.3 DVD. I can see the mpeg-2 macroblocks.
I'll encode it ( Xvid, x264, whatever), the thing is I want to apply some filter to disguise a little bit the mpeg macroblocks prior to encoding.
I know the filter cannot do black magic and restore the quality of the original 9 DVD, but at least I want to disguise a little bit the macroblocks.
Is there some filter that is intelligent enough to detect the size and location of the macroblocks and can smooth them a little bit before encoding ?
BTW, it's interlaced, so either the filter should work with interlaced material or I have to deinterlace it first.
Thanks a lot.
