TMPGenc & artifacts

[Ryo94]

I converted a divx file (320x240) to mpeg1 format with TMPGenc using the following settings,
320x240
1500kb
Filter "noise reduction" with this values:
Still picture=40
Range=2
Time axis=20

And the quality of the video improves incredibly but still present some macroblocks & artifacts. Someone knows how to remove them. A filter as virtual dub "temporal smoother" would work fine but unfortunately TMPGenc doesn't have any similar filter.

Greetings & Thanks for any help.

You may want to select "soften block noise" and download this special template from vcd-help.com (you'll also find help there). The name of template escapes me, but you'll find it there. Its been suggest on this forum, by Chelly I believe, so do a search. Hope this helps

I tried with the option "Soften Block Noise" and some presets for this option from some guides and in fact reduce a little the artifact but not soften the edge of the blocks (like VD temporal smoother) and in action scenes is useless.

anyway, thank you.
