convolution3d doesn't apply - why?

i think its funny, how tastes can differ.. (or possibly dvd-releases, lol..) at least to me, fightclub looks pretty noisy and has quite some blocks in the mpeg2-source. they filmed it almost entirely under "realistic" light conditions, what gives it kind of a real feeling, but naturaly pays with noise. still it is very compressible, i guess since it comes out pretty dark.. i did an encode without bframes and any filtering a few days ago (my very very first xvid!) and actually i liked it already, but that mosquito-noise really annoyed me.. so i keep experimenting a bit and if i'm lucky i'll find some setting wich i'll like more.. i recently bought a new (and big) tv wich has the advances of a tv over a monitor in terms of luminace but also i find it to be nearly as accurate as my monitor, meaning, it displays macroblocks very clearly as well. also for me detail /is/ very important, but i like a /stable/ picture. noise makes especially faces move around in themselves, making me feel like i took some drugs, hehe.. and i found a new friend to make life easier: avisynth monitor, but thats old stuff to you, i know ;)

@iago, after all that support you came up with, i guess its my duty to let you know, that i decided to keep the version without filtering, the filtered version is quite a blur in compare.. ;) thx again!

((( atom ))) That's what I'd told you at the very beginning! Some movies like no filtering at all! ;) regards, iago

@iago: it might interrest you: the mosquito-noise i was fighting indeed came from using mplayer-postfiltering in ffdshow instead of nics. simple is that! i checked that once but must have caught a scene with no noticeable difference or something. once changed the rips are finally to my full satisfaction. :)

((( atom ))) I wrote the same thing in the XviD forum to your "being john malkovich" thread. Actually, whether mplayer's or Nic's, I use no post-processing in ffdshow! ;) I like to watch my encodes purely as they are, which has always satisfied me more than any post-processing ;). regards, iago
