I want to resize a 720p video ( Anime ) to 480p, but the output gets pixelated ( some kind of blocks ).
Can anyone help me with this?
What i did was, simply change the height and width values ( 1280x720 » 848x480 DAR 1.767 )
Ps : I'm using meGUI
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

The source (1280x720) Overall bitrate is 1808kbps, and i'm using 1000kbps(848x480). Is that the problem ?
Btw, the source is h264, and i'm using lanczos4 (sharp) to resize. -
Does the source have problems already ? like noise or macroblocking ?
Try using a higher bitrate as suggested , or use some denoising filters to lower your bitrate requirement , or use a softer resize (sharp, detailed content will require more bitrate)
What encoding settings ?
Why the arbitrary 1000kbps ? Do you need a specific filesize ? -
No problems with the source. ( see the attachments )
My encoding settings are :
program --preset fast --pass 2 --bitrate 1000 --stats ".stats" --deblock 2:2 --bframes 6 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid strict --ref 8 --qpstep 7 --ipratio 1.0 --pbratio 1.0 --ratetol 2.0 --rc-lookahead 40 --aq-strength 1.5 --merange 32 --me umh --direct temporal --nr 500 --subme 7 --partitions all --psy-rd 0.80:0 --output "output" "input"
I don't want a file bigger than 250/280mb. Only bigger if it's really necessary.
Any recommendation for the denoising filter ?

This looks like corruption , or you disabled deblocking (in the decoder), or a weightp error
What software and decoder are you using for playback and to take screenshots ?
Did you disable deblocking in the decoder ?
What happens if you play the output file in another player eg. mpchc, smplayer ?
Where does the "blocking" occur? every frame? or only on dark scenes ? -

If you are using coreavc, make sure it's v2.0 or newer, there is a documented bug with weightp that causes very similar errors to that screenshot above
What version of x264.exe ?
If you try --weightp 0 , do you still get the errors in the encode ?
For trouble shooting for now , I would reduce the qpstep (the quantizer might be making too large of a jump), and not use the nr for x264 (better filters in avisynth anyways)
If you still can't get it sorted out after sorting out your codecs/decoders , post a sample of the source, smallest possible that can replicate those errors with your given settings -
For now, during troubleshooting, I wouldn't use any denoising filter. These errors are serious , and you want to not confound your analysis with other variables. Once you get it sorted out, then you could tweak your settings/filters. I didn't mention above, but it could also be hardware issue. I've seen this corruption with a bad memory stick , and unstable overclock before too. If your system is overclocked, reset to default for now.
What version of x264.exe are you using? If it's not current update it from x264.nl
Also post your avs script
If you can, encoding only small sections that consistenly give you reproducible errors , so you don't waste time. You could use Trim() in your script for example, to encode a section , until you figure out what's going on

If you're using DXVA decoding be sure to use DXVA compatible settings when you encode.

Problem is solved .
This was the changes i made :
1 - Update x264
2 - weightp 0
3 - qpstep 4
My Avs script :
DirectShowSource("D:\Azureus\[Zero-Raws] Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin - 01 RAW (TX 1280x720 x264 AAC).mkv", fps=23.976, audio=false, convertfps=true)
#deinterlace
#crop
Spline36Resize(848,480) # Spline36 (Neutral)
#denoise
My encoding settings :
program --preset fast --pass 2 --bitrate 1200 --stats ".stats" --deblock 2:2 --bframes 6 --b-adapt 2 --b-pyramid strict --ref 8 --weightp 0 --ipratio 1.0 --pbratio 1.0 --ratetol 2.0 --rc-lookahead 40 --aq-strength 1.5 --merange 32 --me umh --direct temporal --subme 7 --partitions all --psy-rd 0.80:0 --output "output" "input"
Thanks for all your help ;D
