x264 opt. for hand drawn anime

[mrsuicide]

Hi!

I'm looking for the optimal options for hand drawn anime.
My problem is, that in contrast to CG-Anime, in hand drawn anime little color spots often "flicker" what lowers viewing quality. So I want to eliminate this flicker.

Are there any special options that adress this issue?
I've played with deblock and nr, which helped a bit, but the issue still stands there.

For encoding I use mencoder.

Greetings,

x264 isn't the tool for this because it has no filters. I would suggest you look at Avisynth, it has a wide range of filters, some suitable for this problem. If you aren't running Windows and really object to using wine then look at the mplayer/mencoder manual, I know it has some filters. You could also try Avidemux because I think it has more filters to offer.

Tell me about some "fitting" mencoder filters.
Btw...I'm running Linux.

Maybe hqdn3d.

Post screenshots or a sample clip of the source if you want more specific advice. I'm not very familiar with this kind of video myself.

Also check out the avisynth section. You could probably get a lot of help from there.
