Anime encoding x265

[x265]

Which tune option should i use for anime?

1. Psnr
2. Ssim
3. Zerolatency
4. Grain
5. Cbr

x265 currently does not have any tuning that is specifically intended for use with anime, so the answer to your question would probably be: none.

Ok. Should i change the color sampling(default - i420) for 10bit encoding? I'm using the hybrid gui for encoding anime BD.

Chroma sub-sampling ("4:2:0") and sample bitdepth ("10 bit") are two different things. You can leave the color space/sub-sampling at the common i420 and combine it with 10 bit encoding without any problem.

Ok, i will use the default value.

[x265]

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\ffms2.dll")
ffvideosource("C:\Users\Abhijith\Desktop\00000.mkv ")
Crop(242, 0, -242, -0)
Spline36Resize(958,720)

Should i change anything in this script for 10bit encoding? I'm using simple x264 launcher.

Spline36Resize(958,720) ??? Maybe is better using standard resolution 960,720, isnt?

Why would it be better to destroy the aspect ratio? He's cropping to 1436x1080, which corresponds to 957 1/3 x720. Closest is YV12 compatible is 958.

You don't need to change anything for 10bit, but anime often needs debanding and encoding 10bit gives you the option to deband and output in high bit depth rather than dithering down to 8.

gradfun3(smode=2,thr=0.7,lsb_in=false,lsb=true,radius=14)
dither_out()

Combine with --input-depth 16 in x264. I don't know the corresponding command line for x265.
