Critique my encode?

[fuctfuct]

I couldn't find a good dual audio version of GitS 2.0. I decided to make my own. Looks OK to me. No plans to offer it or anything, I was just wondering if i could get some opinions. I didn't use any filters, because quite frankly i have no idea which to use. I have only ever used filters for glaring problems.

Spline36 Resize. --level 4.1 --preset veryslow --tune animation --crf 17.0

Before im asked. I put tons of subs in it because.. i felt like it lol

- Eng ASS for the poem at the beginning
- Full Eng ASS from the Japanese Bluray. Stolen from the Zhentarim DivX (ZX) encode. 
- 480p IDX/SUB converted from the original subs on disc
- 720p IDX/SUB converted from the original subs on disc
- 720p SUP (PGS) converted from the original subs on disc
- 1080p SUP (PGS) original subs from the disc
- My own SRT

Just my opinions on the subs (Jap. audio):

-There seems to be nothing displayed when using the first sub.
-Second seems to be the most accurate.
-Your sub's font looks the best, but the timing is off.

As I know nothing much (let alone audio encoding), I'll quickly take my leave now.

aq
q-comp

First track is only the poem in the beginning of the movie so you will not see anything in the sample. "My" subs are SRT so they are any font your media player says they are. They have the same timing as the bluray.

There are two dual audio versions of Ghost in the Shell 2.0 on AnimeBytes:

DVD | MKV | h264 | 720x476 | AAC | Dual Audio | Softsubs (C-W)    1.25 GB
Bluray | MKV | h264 | 1080p | DTS-ES 6.1 | Dual Audio | Softsubs (PUBLiCDOMAiN) | Freeleech!    6.22 GB

It might save you some trouble...

[fuctfuct]

No account there. Normally i only dl 720p. Also, i cant find any info on the PUBLiCDOMAiN encode.

Plus i am to far along now to give up! heh

Trying --level 4.1 --preset veryslow --crf 16.0 --qcomp 1.0 --psy-rd 0.00:0 now *shrugs* :\

[fuctfuct]

Well, that really didn't help in that scene pointed out by revo

[revo]

you turned off psy-rd

use something like

--aq-strength 1.2

--psy-rd 0.8:0.20

--deblock -3:-3

--qcomp=0.60

--deadzone-inter 7 --deadzone-intra 7

...
if that does not work just try different set of number until you are happy

[fuctfuct]

Ran those settings over night. Other then --deadzone-inter 7 --deadzone-intra 7, They are greyed out in MEGUI. Also i forgot i still had ttempsmooth() in the avs from a test i did.

MEGUI looks like this http://i.imgur.com/Hdoxw.png
Video looks like this now .. http://www.filedropper.com/nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-008

*shrugs* :\

[fuctfuct]

I guess that will have to to. Unless anyone can point out anything. I'm ll ears

Thanks for the tips revo! I have watched a bunch of your encodes, and was hoping someone like you would chime in

[revo]

one more thing
don't use megui

juse use avspmod and naked x264.exe

Here's some screenshots from that PUBLiCDOMAiN encode in case you wanted to compare to yours: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnt287m543igiru

[Temuthril]

you turned off psy-rd

--psy-rd 0.00:0 =/= --no-psy

EDIT: my mistake.

[OnDeed]

He didn't say "psy", he said psy-rd.

--psy-rd 0.0:0.0 is surprisingly equal to psy-rd being off If you mean the --no-psy option, that thing does more than just disabling psyRDO.

Hehe maybe one day!
