Blocky fast motion scenes

[t3ch]

mm k encoding some anime, and it looks great; except when something moves.

When there's (lots of) movement, there is MAJOR blockage going on... I lowered the quantizer but it's at 10 right now and still hasn't fixed the problem...

Any suggestions?

Make sure you use a minimum quant of 2, and a max quant of 8-16 or higher.

I've tried 2/31, 2/16, 2/10...

2/10 looks the best, but it still doesn't help high motion any.

2/31 was awful


(btw I got eva all encoded and pretty-like ;D The only reason I was having so many problems was because my system was raped to no end....)

I don't know why you are experiencing those blocks then. I seriously have no such problems with those quant values and 2-pass encoding modes. Perhaps you can elaborate (again) the steps you took, from the softwares you used until you get the final AVI?

Have you done the reformat as you said at that time?

[t3ch]

I've formatted twice since, actually.

Well damnit... *sigh*...

VDub... Xvid settings: h.263, 2/12 quant

I tried putting the curve compression (high bitrate) on 35% across 300 frames and it seemed to help, but I'm afraid to put it too high.

This is an insane amount in attempts to deinterlace the video. I suggest you remove everything, and use the Decomb filter by Donald Graft instead (I have given you the details in your other thread, so refer to it).

A curve compression of 10 - 15% should be enough. Put too much curve compression and your fast-motion scenes suffer.

In addition to the encoding, make sure that your decoder has post-processing enabled. In the case of XviD, make sure that the Deblock and De-ring components are activated.

Yeah I was using that one thread as a reference, but I guess I got mixed up somewhere between looking at the archives and our previous thread.
