Hi!

Does anybody know if it's possible to improve grain retention when encoding x265 4K UHD in BD-Rebuilder in software mode?

I would like to add something that tells the encoder to preserve film grain as much as possible, similar to using Tune=Grain in HandBrake.

Is there a way to add this through the .ini file in BD-Rebuilder or somewhere else ?

Thanks a lot

Yes, just add something like:

"TWEAK_X265=--no-sao --no-sao-non-deblock --psy-rdoq 1.00 --psy-rd 2.00 --aq-mode 3 --deblock -3"

Into BDREBUILDER.INI.
