Hi!! First ever decent encode of mine :3

Edit:

The title says WEBDL but the filename says WEBRIP, that’s because I’ve now noticed WEBRIP is meant for screen recordings… But I’ve “ripped” directly from the m3u8 stream.

This took 3 ½ days to encode, i7 7700k @5.0GHz master race. *Crying*

To do things decently I separated the planes, masked and applied heavy debanding, deblocking and dehaloing on the background, while I didn’t do much (debanding) on the foreground to not lose details at all.

AA and edge cleaning killed my CPU too. Then added grain for h264’s encoding sake and overall the total encoding speed dropped to a whopping 2.8 frames per second. (Vapoursynth alone ~4.8fps)

I’ve used different algorithms for live-action and anime parts. Anime parts have way more banding and also a little bit of color bleeding (how?). I tried to fix those issues the best I could.

If I had a better CPU and time, I would have applied fine deblocking and such to the foreground but this is the best I can do right now.

If you are a good encoder, please help me get better at this! Sometimes reading stuff isn’t enough, experience counts more.

x265 Here Soon™ My CPU can’t handle this

Will take some time as I’m re-doing the whole encode, as I don’t want remakes in my account, lol.
