The Arrival [spoRv]

[spoRv]

Some days ago I noted that the grain applied to the last encoded video was a bit too evident, so I thought to use a lower setting; plus, I used a deblock and a light dropout removal filter; I think now it's better than before, but, as I'm still using this little monitor, I'd like to receive some feedbacks from someone with big screens, before going on...

what do you think?

The new settings look great.
Looking forward to this.

Thanks for your feedback!!! Happy to know someone else likes my new settings!

Personally i didn't think the grain was to much on the first settings but maybe boost it one notch on the new. You may want to wait for your new monitor before finalizing and see it for your self.

Andrea, I agree with Doombot that you might want to wait until you have a new monitor as the "old" settings file (the one with more grain) looks fine. Granted, some people might disagree, but I think the "new" settings do not have enough grain to the point where it looked to me like it had almost no grain. Ultimately the decision is yours, but you should have the proper equipment in order to make a correct assessment

I agree with Doombot and jerryshadoe.
I don't think there was too much grain in the first (final) version. I don't like the new version to be honest...it looks like there is hardly any grain left.
My vote goes to the original (final) version. Or maybe a tiny bit less grain...but only a tiny bit.

In old setting, grain was 25%, while in the new one was 10%...

What should I try now? Let's say 18% could do? I'm going to encode it at 18%, then I'll post a link to it here.

[thegroovologist]

I'd say 20%.

That's my favorite mix
