Filesize question!

[Inouva]

NOt sure if this question was asked! I have seen it where files were to big! well i have the opposite problem! File are too small! My problem is my original file was 258MB but after a 2-pass encode in Nandub, the file was 128MB. I didn't want it that small but the quality was great! anyway i can get the a great quality but with a bigger filesize like 200MB! I already know about the DRF & Curve compression.

Here are the 4 filters i used!

Smart Resize [(512x384), PreciseBi]
2d Cleaner[thresh 6, x&y 3]
WarpSharp [depth 30]
Smart Smoother HQ [dia 5, thresh 20, amount 128, wieghted avg]

If you can get great quality at this lower filesize, why would you want a larger filesize? You are using compression, you know.

Well i've notice, being an anime encoder for a fansub group that alot of people think that when a file is higher that the quality is better! Just thought i could make a file just a tad larger but not too small with compression! but it looks like i can't have both >.<! Oh well!

You have a very smooth anime :D

If you want to grow your filesize remove at least one cleaner, i will remove the SSHQ.

Or if you want your washed anime big try to reduce the DRC d-frames
in the range 2-8 and for I-frames 2-3

640x480 might help also...
