Re: [MEncoder-users] High quality encoding of anime
Anime is never interlaced, always telecined. If your PAL discs show combing, they might have been framerate-converted from NTSC rather than remastered, meaning basically they suck. Just download your "backups" instead.
I used the -vf pp=lb option because without it the video appears "combed" in high-motion scenes. Since this is a deinterlace filter, I assumed that the original video was interlaced. (It looks fine after the -vf pp=lb) As for downloading it, it would be a waste of time because I have the originals. I just want to back them up into DVD+R, plus convert them into MPEG-4 AVI files which my hardware player (a KiSS DP1000) can read. And yes, on a daily basis I would rather have the backups lying around than the originals: do you have any idea how kids handle DVDs? Scary... Any further comments on the lavc or XviD options?

Cheers, Jean
this is what my lavc options looks like: qns=3:cmp=2:subcmp=6:preme=2:predia=3:dia=3:last_pred=3:vmax_b_frames=1:mv0:cbp:qprd:trell:preme=2:keyint=300:v4mv:mbd=2:vqcomp=0.7 also, you should try to use vqscale (vbr) instead of vbitrate (cbr), it's harder to estimate filesize, but it looks much better. From what I've seen lavc gives much better quality than xvid.

vbitrate is certainly NOT CBR... It's actually average bitrate.

This is bad advice. With vqscale, you'll be using up a lot of bits where they aren't needed, which means you have far less available for complex scenes that actually need them.

This is a huge mistake.

No it does not. 2 out of every 5 frames will come out as a blur between two different pictures.

No you don't. You have bad PAL conversions of the originals. The copies you will download will be far better than anything you can ever make yourself from the PAL DVDs.

They use the masters in the original format, NTSC. Not bad PAL conversions of them.
Any further comments on the lavc or XviD options?
These are really irrelevant at this point. You have much more fundamental issues you need to overcome with the interlacing/PAL format. Rich
