I don't even know how to approach that; is that even part of the anime or is VDubMod fucking with me?

Code: Select all
MPEG2Source("C:\Users\Aaron\Downloads\Baccano!\VIDEO_TS\Baccano1.d2v")
AMVIVTC(mode=1)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)
LanczosResize(848,480)
Crop(4,0,-4,-0)

Deen is evil. Use a better denoiser => no more banding (unless it's actually there in the source to begin with) => issue gone for good.

In the case you actually need to fix banding regardless, use gradfun2dbmod. You'll need gradfun2db, addgrainc, masktools and removegrain for it to work. You probably already have masktools and removegrain, though.

Used with default settings.

Thanks mirk, but what about the light in the boxcar and around the sun?

I'm not sure which issue are you seeing there, honestly. It looks pretty fine to me now.

Heh... perfect results aren't possible. The encode will eventually reintroduce some banding anyway, depending on your encoding settings. Just live with it. Did you already check if the banding wasn't introduced by the deen though?

Well... technically you can use higher settings than default, but the more you increase the debanding, the more detail loss you potentially go into. High settings can also cause weird halos around the edges. Use it with care, I honestly would prefer to keep some banding in the encode and just enable ffdshow's debanding over playback if it's really bad... remember that gradients are hard to keep when encoding, the best way is toying around with the psy-rdo and the psy-trellis, but they can do only so much... if you want to keep the gradients well, you'd need to increase the bitrate - which you can only do within certain limits, if you want to keep a decent filesize.

In mpc-hc, right click > filters > ffdshow video decoder. Enable deband in the list, tweak settings at whim (the 1.2 default is generally fine).
