Suffering from a lot of pixelation

[Pater Noster]

Heya, I have been encoding my DBZ encodes at 175 megs now, hoping to reduce the pixelation I had at 140 MB, but I still have trouble with the pixelation (the noise around the edges).

Perhaps something in my settings is off, so please take a look. I want to use precise bicubic, but in my experience that makes things look more sharp and thus the pixelation will be stronger.

Hi-

It wouldn't play for me.

Have you enabled Post Processing in your player? have you tried 2D Cleaner or a similar cleaner-smoother?

Whoops, I didn't thought would someone react this quickly. It could be that you were downloading it before I finished uploading it :p.

Anyway, I tried Smart Smoother (3, 25), but the pixelation remains :(.
