Basically that...
I'm using the excellent Clever FFMpeg as I usually do for this and I'm converting the recent 4k print of 'THE THIRD MAN', which has always been a SUPER grainy film.
Well, with the usual settings HDR-SDR using Haber or Mobius, don't know which would be best in this case, and a desaturation of '1' what it renders does something really weird with the grain, almost giving it a luminescent glow... :)
I don't know if I can tweak the setting much, or if I should try 'Tune Grain' which I never use, but any suggestions on how I can set this to look a LOT better? Or, perhaps if I should use Handbrake which doesn't have such a varied, 'Trick' HDR-SDR setting, but I CAN add CMD line options for the x264.
Any help would be great, thanks!
***EDIT
Oh, and I CAN add Avisynth script to Clever FFMpeg, but it needs to be very simple, perhaps a way to tone down the grain a little or whatever else may help, but I've had trouble getting anything too complicated in AVS to run. Thanks!
***EDIT 2
Okay, I changed the settings of Clever FFMpeg to using Mobius and a desaturation of 2 AND I did set it for Tune-Grain. NOW, it does indeed look a hell of a lot better! Still a pretty damn grainy film, but...
So, I can live with this, but if anyone has any suggestions, that still would be awesome! Trust me, I am not a total grain Hater, but also I'm not opposed to toning it down a bit if clarity and sharpness aren't compromised.
