I'm wondering what settings you guys haved tried with Hcenc
Currently i use the following:
1pass vbr
Best / dc 10 bits
bitrate: 9000-9500 (avg)
Autogop / interlaced TFF(or auto)
AQ=2
Lum=1
dead zone auto
Matrix: avamat6 (retain much grain according to my tests with minimal blocking)
These settings seems great for music videos but not ok for every kind of footage particularly the matrix.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I think when you specify Lum, it uses a custom matrix.
AQ=1 is a good place to start. If you're having trouble with some material, try 2-pass. -
The default AQ is 2 there must be a reason for that
Correction though after further test the mpeg matrix seems best (for outdoor scene at least with plenty of light)*** DIGITIZING VHS / ANALOG VIDEOS SINCE 2001**** GEAR: JVC HR-S7700MS, TOSHIBA V733EF AND MORE -
I once encoded a couple of documentaries I captured from A&E TV. The quality wasn't that good to begin with,
and I ended up encoding at 1/2 D1 due to bitrate constraints. AQ=2 looked better in that case,
distributed the bits more towards the flat parts and gave the whole thing a better look.
It all depends on the material.
AVStoDVD, the all-in-one DVD encode/author package, uses AQ=1 and LUM=1 for it's HCenc defaults. -
Little comparison (for what it's worth):
1pass vbr, AQ=2, lum gain=1, avamat6 matrix

This is an outdoor scene with a rapid scene change (noise introduction (snow-like noise) onto the frame made in studio obviously).You can see artefacts in the 1pass vbr wheareas the 2pass is more "high fidelity"
I must say that the 1pass vbr AQ=2, lumg=1 avamat6 matrix work better for low light/dark scenes, it retain much fine grain, verified with the histogram in luma mode.See link below:

Good post. I'll encode some short clips myself, see what I can see.
Any reason for picking avamat6? There's loads included, but I've got no idea when/why you would
pick one over the other. -
It's all about bitrate according to the info i have gathered see below:
bitrate = matrix
+4000k = FOX1
-4000k = FOX2 ou MPEG_STD
-3500k = CCE
-3000k = AVAMAT6, QLB or other
-2000k = AVAMAT7

It's my understanding that these matrix have been made with good compressibility in mind (compressibility 1st, high fidelity 2nd) so personally i take it the other way round as i use 9000k bitrate most of the time, avamat 6 becomes ideal imo (i discard the extreme avamat7)
Ideally you want 8 (on all rows) for Intra and 16 for non-intra frames but the result is not good and the compressibility is close to zero.The higher the number, the more you lose data.Last edited by themaster1; 21st Oct 2011 at 21:15.
