HandBrake

If you don't deinterlace it will output both fields in one frame. You've got some post-processing going on somewhere, maybe in your display.

...

There are two parts to filters like detelecine and decomb. An analysis phase and a rendering phase. The analysis phase decides whether or not to engage the rendering phase. There is no way to avoid the analysis phase.

Unless you're using my bobbing patch, HandBrake, when deinterlacing, outputs one frame per two fields (one frame) of input, based primarily on the first field.

Unless you are one of the remaining few with a CRT monitor, it in absolutely *no* way makes sense to keep content interlaced. You are going to have to deinterlace it on playback. Realtime deinterlacers are of course going to provide worse results than preprocessing deinterlacers, since they have the...

Realize this is for more fundamental of a reason than just that AviSynth's not cross-platform (which is, don't get me wrong, a huge issue). AviSynth is a frameserver. It is designed to work with video transcoders that are blind to the source video. All they do is get fed individual frames and encode...

Umm....if you aren't modifying the source code I have no idea what you think that's going to do. Your script saves the encode logs, haven't you looked at them?

And to answer your question.... Read up on the sed command.

Can you reproduce the dropped signal issue the Macrumors crowd discovered? Just curious, before I go pick up mine

Per D_S's advice we're not offering weightp=1 support.

Denied. As I've said in the past, if we implement this, it's going to be as another panel that interacts modally with the advanced panel. As in, there will be a basic x264 tab and an advanced x264 tab and never will the two be on screen at the same time. The basic one will just offer the x264 preset...

Persuaded the GUI maintainers to expose peak framerate control, so there's a built-in now, will show up in the next nightly. CLI equiv is: -e x264 -q 20.0 -r 29.97 --pfr -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -D 0.0 -f mp4 -4 -X 1024 --loose-anamorphic -m (Using loose ana because strict is a no go since it doe...

Let me put it like this:

The lead developer of x264 has set his encoder to have CRF on by default and no-dct-decimate off by default. His own CLI only suggests using no-dct-decimate if content is very grainy.

I'll do it myself. It's not worth pursuing at this moment because it will break my bobbing patch for sure. It's going to be hard enough to merge in to decomb 3. You don't have to look to x264 for examples for all this stuff; HB's CLI already parses comma separated arguments for all audio-related opt...

Eh...but on any other device I gather the user would prefer to have the original, higher-quality track played by default. The choice seems a bit counterintuitive, unless Apple devices are deemed the primary playback target even on the non-Mac versions. There is nothing counter-intuitive about havin...

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. HB already signals the proper color space in the container and, when using x264, the video stream.

There is no reason you should be playing with this option given the modern-day capabilities of x264. It's been obsolete since AQ was committed like two years ago. There is a reason the only x264 preset that employs it is called "Placebo."

?...it's got the same capabilities as an iPad.

Just use high profile h.264 with a max width of 960 for on-screen playback or 1280 if you plan on using it on a computer too.

Thanks. Not really a big deal, though. That param gets ignored by default since the new filtering mode (filter_combing_mask) is off by default, and it merely controls the method of filtering employed when the new mode is enabled. And the only reason someone would use the old method with the new filt...

Psy-trellis set to run in 0.05 increments. Colon added to psy-trellis label. Alignment fixed for psy-rd and aq. Header label sized bumped down once. Added i8x8,i4x4 but I am not doing the same thing for all permutations of the combination p8x8,b8x8,i8x8,i4x4. Patch: http://handbrake.fr/pastebin/past...

I was hoping that as this is decomb 3, after enough testing has been done, all these new features might be combined in a new "spatial metric" with value 3 for simplicity. Or is this considered further down the road? Well that's not what a spatial metric is. Decomb's spatial metric is the ...

Note, you want to go off the copy in the SVN, *not* the Wiki. That was never updated for 0.9.4. When the new decomb gets checked in, the directions will be like so: Parameters: Mode : Spatial metric : Motion thresh : Spatial thresh : Mask Filter Mode : Block thresh : Block width : Block height Appen...

Yeah, I'm done with the clip, thanks. Stashed away in my test sample library. Feel free to take it down. 1. No, the new decomb hasn't been committed. There's a tutorial about patching in the developer section of our FAQ, but that'll only be the start of your problems with building, since as I recall...

The lobby shootout from The Matrix is a classic test clip. Dark_Shikari's Birds clip from Planet Earth. The opening title sequence to From the Earth to the Moon (aka the iPod killer, because it used to cause havok with the rate control necessary on old iPods). The doom9 crowd is fond of a sample fro...

Thanks for the clip, a good test sample. The issue here is that the animation is faking a pan across a still background image, kind of like a "Ken Burns effect" on a photo in a slideshow. However, the way they are interpolating (guessing) the frames between key frames is to use phased inte...

(This thread nicely exemplifies what is wrong with the way users approach tech support communities. At the root of the problem of cooperation is the fact that there is often a tension between individual and collective rationality. This is to say that in many situations, behavior that is reasonable ...

This would be your culprit, I imagine...
