Can't see anything obviously wrong (except I think sharp bicubic is a usually a bad idea for 1cd, but I don't know the film) but I would suggest not using lumi, especially for the 2cd. I, and many people here, prefer linear scaling to altCC: this is likely to cause blocking on high-motion scenes. Can you load your stats file into koepi's StatsReader and find out the first pass size? Oh, and sorry if I missed something obvious. Never used GKnot.

RefDivX' lumimasking code should be safe to use, so at least with my builds you could definatly give it a try ;) Best regards, Koepi ...who is preparing a new build for uploading later tonight...

@NeVeRLiFt, Maybe I shouldn't ask that but how come you happened to be so interested in and enthusiastic about XviD matters? The last time I remember you were indulged in some weird fantasies of yours in another thread?! :D iago (sorry to shift O/T btw)

I have my reasons. The big one is because Nandub/DivX3.11a needs to be replaced ;) And to take this even more O/T have you all heard about/tried using iuVCR and the Cyberlink deinterlace filter and videocapturing with XviD? It has to be seen to be believed... some very sweet quality ;)

I have my reasons. The big one is because Nandub/DivX3.11a needs to be replaced ;) Hehe, I agree; and that's what many people had anticipated long ago you know! :D Also, I must admit that I'm totally ignorant about the other things you have mentioned in your post! ;) iago edit: anyway, back to topic, I'm looking forward to Koepi's new build for the torture test! ;)

ehmm,... Koepi put up a new build,... see: At least his post there was after the post in this thread,... Cu Selur

Oh, I see, thanks for pointing this out! ;) So I have to wait for another new build I guess! ;) regards, iago

What was the source? You can put and 2:20 long movie of an DVD on 1cd and you should have still have good quality (if it's not a high action movie or excremly noisy). And if the source was an old noisy vhs, an super/high 8 video or something like that and you don't use any flters the result is probably blocky even if you put only 1 hour on 1cd

Usage of MPEG2DEC3: loadplugin("c:\whatever\mpeg2dec3.dll") mpeg2source("c:\movie\movie.d2v",lumoff=-2) It's on the Readme file of mpeg2dec3

Isn't it lumafilter(-2,1) these days, separately?
