Anyone want a challenge :)

I am backing up the NTSC version of "White Oleander" and I think I ran into another encoder nightmare :) (with CCE or TMPEG)
In this first pic I show the main movie, it's pretty good ;);

then in this pic when Astrid (Alison Lehman) is meeting her Mom - Ingrid (Michelle Pfeiffer) for the first time after she was thrown in the clink, the fence is really screwing up the encoder no matter what filter I tried;

If anyone can see what they can do with this movie and let me know what they did and used, that would be great.
Thanks

EDIT: your going to have to right click on the pic's and do a save as to download them. Their only 50k jpg's.

Wow!

Now, this really is a nightmare! 4:3 material and such a scene! :eek:
I think you only have one option: More bitrate!

Cropping is not an option for you to leave out the TV overscan area? - Seems you're not doing it. Using BilinearResize and doing some softening - I know it's not that good but better than this. And then using CCEs advanced options to manually increase the bitrate on this part?

HTH,

Well this is what I got doing a 3pass CCE, bilinear CVD, TV overscan=1, bias=14, bitrate= 2320;

The fence goes by quickly too, so putting a tem/spat filter in my script is no good because there is no noise to filter before the video get to the encoder even though I tried a filter the first time. I tried with TMPEG to, no good.

Oh, well, it's a good movie to test on, even at high bitrate I can see moskito noise at certain parts to.
