I'm having some problems with encoding animes. I've done 2 so far and they've come out good, except when they get to action scenes they get grainy. I followed a guide found here: http://www.undercut.org/articles/animerip/ I followed [bold]exactly[/bold] what it said, including all extra filters. Can someone help please? If there are any other ways to convert animes without problems please mention them. Oh yeah, I was using a Divx 5 codec if it matters at all.
Im not sure what you mean by grainy? can you explain a bit more of what kinds of problems youre having? Do you also have any interlacing artifacts, such as scan lines during action sequences?
I know I don't have interlacing artifacts, because I used the deinterlacing filter. At times the video will be perfectly clear, but sometimes (mostly during action scenes) it becomes unclear, sort of pixily.
If youre using a smoother filter, try increasing its strength so you can smooth more of the picture...it wont be as clear but hopefully the artifacts will be smoothened out, and increase your bitrate a little more._X_X_X_X_X_[small]Life is but a dream...so wake me up already!!![/small]
Thanks, but I think I figured out the problem. The guide says to use the area based deinterlacer and one of the settings says blend instead of interpolate and that's not recommended, so I encoded another anime and it came out pretty good. Thanks anyways.
