If the decombing filter hasn't been changed, or there isn't a way to download previous nightlies, is there something I can do with the decomb parameters? If so, could you please be kind of specific. I've read the documentation more than once, but I am really not sure which parameter(s) to tweak or by how much.
I believe these are the defaults:
mode :1
metric :2
motion-threshold :6
spatial-threshold :9
block-threshold :80
block-width :16
block-height :16
I'm also curious as to what range the numbers go up to? For example, Motion-threshold is at 6...how high can it go up to...100?
Also, If I wind up tweaking the decomb settings beyond their defaults, will that degrade the picture quality (like when interlacing something that doesn't need interlacing)...and/or does it just slow down the encode? I am not too worried about the encoding speed as long as it is not crazily slow. I'd rather it be more effective/stronger (as long as it doesn't mess with picture quality), than to have a speedier encode.
One more thing...I'm going to post this in the request thread, but I thought I'd mention it here too. I would love to see some preset decomb options in the future. Kind of like the interlacing options. Maybe one for default, one for powerful, etc. As I am guessing not too many regular users know when and how to tweak these settings. Just a thought.
Keep up the good work and thank you so much in advance!
