Can i leave denoising on for every encode?
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:09 am
My goals when encoding are to to have an file that is (practically) indistinguishable from the source, with a quality buffer, should my viewing conditions change (larger tv, closer seating) while reducing file size.
Im not looking for files that are like a 10th of the original, but do want to reduce them as much as a can, while retaining quality. I dont care too much for noise or grain either way, except when excessive, but i read an explanation of the old denoiser handbrake used, and they said a low level temporal denoising can help to reduce size a bit, while leaving the image esentially untouched.
Nlmeans being superior to the old one, can i leave it on all the time? Using maybe ultralight with the film tune or something? Or should i only ever consider this if the source is visibly and excessively noisy, causing bloated files? I dont know anything about how to use the custom options or anything like that, but if theres something i can type in there that would do what im asking, that would be better than i preset, that would he appreciated.
Thanks.
