Dither tools

[x264]

How do i filter at 16bit and then dither to 10bit and give this to x264 through pipe? Could someone post the script for doing this?

There are examples in the instructions. Not very many filters are available at "fake" 16bit

Have i made any mistakes in this script?
LoadPlugin("D:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("D:\Users\x265\Desktop\New folder (2)\ep1.dgi",fieldop=0)
AnimeIVTC(mode=4, omode=2, aa=0, pass=2)
MCTD(AA=true, UseEEDI2=true, Settings="low", sigma=6, twopass=true, fixband=false, interlaced=false)
crop(4, 2, -4, 0)
dither_convert_8_to_16()
Dither_quantize(10, reducerange=true, mode=8)
Dither_out()

Are you doing a 2pass VFR encode?

MCTD is the wrong call unless you modified the .avsi ; It should be "MCTemporalDenoise"

The dither part looks correct if you are piping 10bit data instead of 16bit, but it looks like you are using megui ? I don't think megui can encode 10bit unless you replace the binary with a 10bit version (standard one is 8bit) . You also have to use avs2yuv or avs4x264mod to pipe yuv data to the 10bit x264 binary, I don' t know if megui is setup for that

I'm using the modified version of MCTemporalDenoise by "06 taro". MCTemporalDenoise uses gradfun2dbmod, can i change this and use gradfun3?

SMplayer will dither in playback. Very useful, and a lot simpler.
