Avidemux settings, need help wiv em :)

[Slifer]

Ok, so i do anime encodes and one of the programs i do is taken from CITV. However, the amount of noise on the programme is rediculously high. I mean, whenever the image moves the noise really shows and it looks bad on the edges. I have tried using HQDN3D, but it doesnt really get rid of it. I have exp with avidemux but i was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get rid of it. I dont really mind encoding time that much if it makes it look better..

Please help me as i dont have any ideas left.

Thx in adv.

You could try FluxSmooth or TemporalCleaner as an alternative to HQDN3D. Also MSmooth might be useful for anime...

Yeah, but when i tried them before it didnt do much...

I myt as well try it again, since i have so much free time

Make sure you look at the output (filtered) video, not at the source:
You must choose "Output" (or "Side") in the dropdown box in the main window, otherwise you see the unprocessed input.
That wouldn't be the first time somebody missed that ^^

Anyway, all those filters have various settings to make the effect stronger or weaker...

Lols, i am not that stupid ;)

I def looked on output but it just looks terrible no matter what i do...

You'll just have to switch to avisynth (or mencoder) and use some stronger filters, then. MVDegrain, TemporalDegrain, or MC_Spuds can handle dirty things that avidemux filters completely fail on (either not denoising enough or smearing out all the detail).
