Encoding Anime

[Torrential]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know of some good filters/methods of encoding anime captured from TV. Here is what i'm currently doing:

Capturing at 640x480 with Huffyuv and PCM Audio.
Bringing it into VirtualDub, crop, and resize with Lanczos3 to 480x360.
Use Temporal Smoother set to 4-5.
Use Warp Sharp set to 55.
Use Smart Smoother.
Use Levels to Adjust Brightness/Darkness to my liking
Apply Inverse Telecine.
Compress Audio with LAME MP3 at 128KBit/s.
Compress Video with XviD MPEG-4 at around 900 bitrate (2-Pass).

I was wondering if you know of any filters to maybe make the picture quality better? I was also thinking about the 2-D Cleaner? Does that help? I'm just not satisfied with what i'm getting

Thanks for all of your help

All very good for various cleaning jobs. Check out Doom9's forum section on AviSynth and look up posts by a user named "Mug Funky" - an Anime expert.
