Turn off filters ?

Post by xabobe7672 »

Description of problem or question:

For HQ1080 preset, Interlace Detection is set to "Default'", Deinterlace is set to "Decomb", while all others are turned OFF, do I turn it off too to make the output video as close as quality to the source?


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.4.2

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.

If your source is not interlaced, there is no reason to have decomb or other de-interlacing filters turned on. The telecine filter should be off for MOST Bluray-sourced content.

If your source IS interlaced (almost all DVD content, video recorded "over the air"), you will want to removed it (use the filters) because the output will be progressive, not interlaced.

May I ask how to tell if source IS interlaced ?

If it came from a DVD or over-the-air broadcast capture, it's almost certain to be interlaced.

If it came from a Bluray, it is almost certain to NOT be interlaced.

There are exceptions to both "rules". You have not provided enough information to decide which is the case in your instance; this is where logs of an encode are handy.

Thankyou for replying. May I ask where in the activity log does it say whether the SOURCE is interlaced or not so I can change the filter accordingly?

This is a weird log. The source seems to have originally been ripped from a Bluray, but has already been cropped to 1920x800. As such, it should not be interlaced, but the comb detection filter found frames that appear to be interlaced. That could be a false detection, though (those happen).

You should ask whoever processed this file before you whether they introduced interlacing for some reason. It shouldn't have it - my BD copy of John Wick 3 did not.

Would there be a good amount of difference in quality or perhaps video lag, if I were to Decomb vs Not for DeInterlace ?

Why are you even reencoding? Your file is already fairly compressed.

Only 3% of the frames on a super short sample, they most likely are false positives.

Deinterlacing generally smooths the transition between frames in frames with motion. It does not affect lag, and arguably the methods used drop detail to fix the "combing" effect.

Personally, anything not KNOWN to be from a DVD, I encode with all the interlace filters disabled. Only if it looks screwy do I go back and redo it with deinterlace enabled (but Comb Detect OFF, so all frames are deinterlaced). If in doubt, you can pick a section of your source that has a lot of motion, and just encode that part both ways, and see which looks better.

Your source was already processed by someone before you started, so your choices may be limited.

How do I tell, from the activity log, if its fairly compressed already?
